. . . or at least the last ones that you're likely to hear about.

We have four people in our house and, somehow, only one toilet. This can make for quite a few contentious moments.
.
For example, Marley had been sitting on the potty for a long time and Beth wanted to use the bathroom. So Beth calls into the bathroom, "Marley are you finished on the potty yet?"
.
And Marley called back, "No, Mommy, I'm still dropping anchor."
.
Bonus quote: Marley has been known to shout "Bombs away!" when she's sitting on the potty.

The other day, Hayden and Marley were putting on a show with their friend Alana. Before it started, Hayden played the role of the announcer and this is what she said:
.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the show is about to start so please turn off your cell phones. And if you have small children, please take them outside if they make any noise. Now let's start the show!"
.
.
The girls were watching a movie and the term "divorce" came up. Marley asked what that meant and Beth told her.
.
Marley responded, "No, that's not divorce, that's called being single."
.

And, finally, some visuals. Hayden and I had been talking about how some artists learn their craft by copying other artists work. She wanted to give it a try.
.
The first work she chose to copy was Van Gogh's Sunflowers:
Here's how it came out:
Next up she chose Matisse's Golden Fishes:
Here's Hayden's version, which I thought was pretty great:
Even more impressive, at least to me, was the following picture Hayden made several hours later at a friend's house. Mind you, she didn't have the Matisse original in front of her and it was made strictly from memory.
