Veggies

Xela loves her vegetables.  First she stole the avocado, then she came and took my carrot too. She loves tomatoes, cucumbers, and bell peppers too. 

Spelling lessons

Yesterday I overheard this conversation.  

chio: "d" "a" "m"

alex: no, that's what holds back water.  It's "d" "a" "m" "b" . The b is silent.

...

they go along in this vein for awhile. 

(I'm not surprised I wasn't asked into this conversation, they looked very worried when I walked in)

Me: what are you guys talking about?

chio and alex in unison:  nothing 

Me: You spell that word "d" "a" "m" "n"

(they are both very skeptical because I'm the worst speller ever and they have already stopped asking  me how to spell words; alex especially took a while to convince.  Then we had a whole talk about bad words.  Over all it was quite funny)
