Lately

Lately Elliot has been saying funny things.  He said to Michael the other day, after (I'm sure) talking about Kwanza at his public school, 

E: Papa, did Ezra used to be African American?

M: Um, he's still African American.

E: Oh.  Well, when he was with his birth family, did he celebrate Kwanza?

Today on the way home from school, Elliot and Elsie decided to plan a party.  After some debate in the back which I couldn't hear, Elliot told me they had come up with the menu:
E: We're ready, mama.
Me: Ok, what are we having?
E: Cheese, buffalo, and beer.

Elsie, also has been imbibing the public school koolaid.  The other night we were praying, thanking God for things he had given us during the advent season.
E: Thank you for mama, and Ezra, and Papa, and me, and Elliot...
E: And thank you for Hanukkah.

The above is a hair styling chair Elsie got for her birthday.  Ezra fits in it nicely.  It's almost time for his first haircut!
