Troubles with Idioms

You know the old saying...An idea just flew in/out of my mind? Well, here's Morgan's take:

As she running into the kitchen
"Mom, mom! An idea just flew up my nose!"

Aon our way to the Roslansky family reunion

Other current Morgan-isms: vocab words for the week - original and completely
Mom - this is my original idea; Mom, this is my original paper
Mom - I completely just learned that! Mom - I completely think that it's grass not rocks (comments on a section of land in the train yard)

I can hear it in my head!

I introduced Morgan to the group Anonymous 4 on our drive to Eagle River yesterday.

After hearing this she stated:
I can hear it in my head! Can you?
(me) Yes, and I can hear it in my heart too!
YEAH! That's what I mean, I think God is talking to me in my heart. Can Dad hear this in his heart too?

Of course then in 4 year old fashion she was utterly distracted from our conversation by a painted bowling ball made to look like a bee!

Playing Baseball

Morgan has been very interested in playing baseball. She developed her own equipment with a squeezy heart ball and a tube of bubbles for her bat.

I decided to indulge her and buy a kiddy bat and ball - she's really quite impressive! We then added bases for her to run. They put her over the top a few times because she thought she was losing each time she would run and Papa would get the ball. When she realized that she could win by running the bases before Papa got the ball and got himslef back to the pitcher's 'mound', things really got fun!

Apprentice Painter

Morgan wants so much to help with all the house work, so why not, we let her join in when it's OK

The next few clips are of her stenciling her cieling fan blades. We were at Lowes and she saw a 'girlie' fan with pastel blades and butterflies - I was tempted to get it for her, but the long term use of it outweighed giving her the pretty thing for her room. Inswtead I told her we could paint the blades with butterflies (which we can repaint or just flip over later when she outgrows the cute factor)
