The girls and I went on a great little hike through the woods around Grandma’s house yesterday. Be sure to watch the cute little video to hear Ruby and Eme’s interpretation of it.

Here is a clip of Ruby learning how to block at Little Samurai class.  WARNING: the following video may be too cute for some viewers.  If you die of cuteness, we take no responsibility.

We will post pictures soon of our trip to Sacramento, amongst other random awesomeness.  (Ruby + Karate Class = Awesome squared)

Meanwhile, here is some verbal cuteness.

Ruby (coming up behind me in garden and whispering):  This is my mom.
Me (turning around and seeing her holding an invisible hand):  Hello.
Ruby:  This is Henny.  He’s my only prince.
Me:  Well, hello, Henny.  It’s nice to meet you.
Ruby:  Yeah.  He came to visit me.
Me:  That was nice of you, Henny.
Ruby:  I just called him on the phone and he came over.
Me:  Oh, that’s nice.  Does he know you’re a princess?
Ruby:  Yes.  I’m Sleeping Beauty.
Me:  Oh, of course.  Did Henny rescue you with a kiss?
Ruby:  No.  He just rescued himself.  From a dragon.  He just had a scary dragon, and then I came with my pointy knife and scared the dragon, and the dragon ran away.
Me:  Oh, so you rescued the prince?
Ruby (as if I’m stupid):  Ye-es!
Me:  That’s right, you did.

Yesterday Eme was playing with Paul’s hat, by herself.
Eme:  Abracadabra, what is in it? (Pulls out a make-up brush.)  Its!  A!  Paintbrush!  Yay!

Ruby, at the mall:  Mommy?  Can you just carry me?  Because if I walk people might bonk into me and bonk me down and I’d fall down and get a cut and then I would bleed and bleed and bleed and there would be an ocean of blood tonight, so you’d better carry me so I don’t get bonked down.

Ruby:  When I grow up I want to be a baseball pitcher, and then I’ll THROW and then I’ll WIN THE RACE and then maybe I’ll get a trophy and then I’ll bring it home and then don’t break it because it’s fragile, and then if you break it I’ll be sad because it’s my very special trophy.

Ruby: Dad, can you change the channel to a kid’s show? I wanna watch a show about a mouse.

Daddy: In a minute, I’m watching soccer right now.

Ruby: But, Dad! I’m missing the title sequence!

Eme: BUUUUUUUGGGGSSSS!!!!!! Where ARRRRREEEE YOUUUUUUUUU??????
Daddy: Hey Eme, look at this little tiny spider!
Eme: Awwwwww…so beautiful!

Ruby: Daddy, look! I found a wishing flower. [closes eyes]. I wish, I wish, I wish I could blow on this wishing flower. [blows]. Daddy, my wish came true!
