Sweetness

I'm sitting here after dinner watching Mary Grace and Evelyn color at the dining room table together. They are so sweet, with each one dramatically complimenting the other's work. Evelyn: "I LIKE the plant you drew!" Mary Grace: "I see you used a lot of GREEN! Good job!" Adorable. Willa decided at the last minute to go with Jason to adult choir rehearsal, so it's just two here tonight.

I know the whole kids-say-the-darndest-things is mostly just interesting to the particular child's parents, but the twins really do say such adorably weird stuff, and Mary Grace is so matter of fact and yet also patient with them. Makes for some hilarious conversation as I eavesdrop:

Evelyn: "I like purple. Only girls like purple."
MG: "No, Daddy likes purple."
Evelyn: "Yes, that's right. And there are stars at night."
MG: "Yes."
Evelyn: "I don't like storms. Sissy, do you like storms?"
MG: "Sometimes."
Evelyn: "Storms are BAD! There. I drawed a Redbud tree."
MG: "Mom. Evelyn just drew a Redbud tree. Isn't that awesome?"
Mommy: "Yes. Wow."
Evelyn: "I want to give this to my teacher tomorrow."
MG: "It's a stay home day tomorrow. You can give it to your teacher after the summer."
Evelyn: "Ok. Next time I want to draw a monster."
MG: "Well you have to draw it scary."
Evelyn: "I have a funny dance...watch!"

Love these girls!
