Ecclesiastes 4:12 (NLT)

"A person standing alone can be attacked and defeated, but two can stand back-to-back and conquer. THREE are even better, for a triple-braided cord is not easily broken."

Camp Clark Conversations

This is SO overdue! How better to summarize conversations "from the mouths of babes" than to exhibit their own photos as well. LTD were given an old digital camera of ours (thank goodness for digital!) and they have an absolute blast taking photos from their miniature perspective. I love their innocence and how they capture things they feel are pretty special AND funny (like each other). Take a look......and listen to their conversations:

Lindsey with her children (photo by Taylor)
At the coffee shop drive-up, a man with long hair was at the window. Lindsey asked "mom, is that a boy or a girl?" I quietly told her it was a boy when he stepped away only to have her say "well, I think he needs a haircut!"

As Taylor and Dylan are busy making a mess in the music room, Lindsey stomps in with her hands on her hips and says, "what in the world is going on here? Clean up your mess!"

"These sceetos (mosquitos) are eatin' me ALIVE!"

"Taylor, that is not ceptable (acceptable)!"

"Good night, Taylor, sleep tight honey. God loves you and so do I."

"Alot of people make mistakes.............even me sometimes."

"Whatever you do, don't pull my finger." (Dave's teaching 'em well)

"Watch this (as she tumbles for us). Did you see that double cartwheel flip I just did?"

As we hold a puppy at the pet shop, "OH, she's a-DOR-able! Mom, let's call dad and tell him we're buying a puppy today."

"Dylan, do to others the way you want done to you!" (her version of the Golden Rule)

Stopped in Walgreen's to pick up school supplies. Right next to the folders we needed were Pillow Pets, only 3 left, ON SALE. Ironically, they were the Unicorn, Ladybug & Bumblebee which just happened to be on LTD's wish list. Lindsey looked at me with an astonished look on her face and said, "don't you see, this is God's work!"

S-U-R-P-R-I-S-E!!! (photo by Dylan)
"I love the color pink on me, it's GOR-geous!"

"Let's go check out the rumbling (rummage) sale!"

"I can feel my heart beeping!"

As they are playing with their dolls "We're having a honey party." I tell her they have the greatest parties. "yah, we know that."

"Hey Dylan, your hair is funky today. Looks like you got WILD last night."

"Dylan, you just enrupted (interrupted) me!"

I ask her to turn around so I can see her butt (meaning her pants). She turns around and DOWN the pants went, all the way down to her knees!

"Know why I don't have a snot nose? Cuz all my boogers are blocking it up."

"Mom, can you believe my children are STILL sleeping? I better go wake 'em up.........HONEYS!!! WAKE UP!!! (at the top of her lungs)

"I skinned it alive!" (as she eats the cheese off her pizza)

Dave told her that her hands are starting to get blisters (from the monkey bars). She corrects him and says "No, that's just a DEAD blister from Speech Class."

Giving his best smile (photo by Lindsey)
"Mom, don't worry. God is watching over us." as they bike SOLO for the first time around the park loop across the street from our house.

"Mom, you don't need to speed up to a red light ya know!" (oh, ok backseat driver)

Dad says "Just look at that brand new fire station.......our tax dollars hard at work!" Dylan responds matter-of-factly "yah, that's government for ya!"

Dad asks him, "what do you want for Christmas?" Without hesitating Dylan says, "a gun and bow & arrow that can kill a buck!"

"Look, you can tell I'm eating my protein..............I got hair on my chest! I'm gonna be a man someday!"

"Dad, I wanna buy you a riding lawn mower that reads your mind so you don't hurt your back."

"Taylor is a woman driver bike rider!"

"Know what? Sometimes we can toot louder than thunder."

The doorbell rings at our house and Dylan shouts out "if it's the government, I know karate!"

At the doctor's office, he notices the needle dispenser bin and says "mom, if they come in with one of those, I'm gonna run out of here SO fast, you're never gonna catch me!"

"Guys, I have 4 money now!!!" (4 quarters)

"Now THAT'S what I'm talkin' about!" (as he spanks the golf ball 50 yards)

He asks the girls "feel under my armpit" and they retaliate and say "NO!". He pauses and asks again "It's slimey under there.....are you sure you don't want to feel under my armpit?"
