Amusing children

Today we had a few stops to make, including the bank. The tellers all know us on sight, we're kind of hard to miss with the big double stroller. And when Leanna's with me (not as frequently now that she's in school) she tends to be memorable all on her own. She always insists on writing her own bank slips and handing them to the tellers. The teller we got today asked Leanna how much she wanted to withdrawl today. Leanna told her $70 dollars. "Oh, what are you going to buy with that?" Leanna though for a minute and then replied, "a house." Needless to say, the teller was amused by this answer. Leanna then clarified that she wanted a little house with furniture. She started to go on but then the teller asked Leanna if she had made a Christmas list. I answered for her, no we have to do that together yet. The teller asked Leanna if she had been good. Leanna hid under the desk and just looked up at me, answering the question without saying a word. The teller then asked Leanna, what will be on your Christmas list? Our little comedianne replied, ever so seriously, "It's a long story."
Later in the afternoon we were on our way home. Justin asked where we were going, and then why. I said we were going home because we were tired, Mommy was tired, Leanna was tired, and Justin was tired. To which Justin replied, "I tired of standing in the corner!"

Steph....He is just so darn cute with his comments.

Leanna is a very smart cookie for a young child. To know about money and buying a house to play with.

She is just so amusing, and so sweet--and Justing isn't too far behind her.
