This blog is a personal history of the Ramsay family and their wonderful, wild, weird, wacky life. Scott and I (Jackie) thank God for the 4 precious children He has entrusted to our care for a few short years. People have been telling me I should write a book containing all the goofy things that are said or take place around our house, so here goes...

Girl of All Trades

     Today Tirzah was many things: a schoolgirl in her skirt and blouse; a fearless swimmer in her shorts and shirt; a Mommy to her doll Baby Dear; a donated tiara made her a princess; wearing a sunbonnet, she told me she was Amish; wielding a light saber, she boldly claimed she would "save the day" and was going to kill all the monsters; and finally she is a little girl again, cuddling with her "Mankey".
Which just goes to show, with the right accessories, a girl can be almost anything!

Say where?

Noklahoma
Wyazona

Levi's Mama

     Levi has a unique way of using my name as a fill-in word.  Here are some of his spins:

"I'm livin', I'm livin', I'm livin' Mama."-his version of their Awana song.

"Mama, you have diabetes!"

"Mama's head is a sphere!"

"Mama hibernates!"  I ask, "Why, Levi?  Why do I hibernate?"  "Because you're a Lorax."




"Mama doesn't need any more sweets!" (this was said in a firm,authoritarian-type voice)

"I love Mama, 'cuz she's made out of cabbage."

"If they sold Mama at the Awana store, I would buy her first, before anybody else."

"Mama is a pigsty; pigs live in her body."

"Mama is a grocery girl."

As I burned myself removing my coffee from themicrowave- "Mama set her coffee on fire!"

"Mama eats pythons; there's a python in Mama's mouth!"

(Sung to the tune of Joy to the World) "Mama is a crazy girl, and heaven and nature sing!)

"Mark, the Herald Mama sings!"

"Mama is from Sampson Frisco."

(sung to the tune of Deck the Halls)  "Mama never goes to bed"

Mama is a scuba diver;  Mama is a base jumper.  (!); a chapatti;

Mama is edible; you can eat her.

Mama is on the march.

The ants go marching 3 by 3, and they all go marching down into the mama ground, where the mama queen was.
10/12  It continues.  Lately it is Mama Durama.  Or Mama llama.  Or Mama with a comma.  Or as I say, Save mama from the drama!

Leviathon

     In the van tonight, Caelin had his iQuest,a hand-held educational game/organizer.  He suddenly calls out, "Mom, I looked up the word leviathon.  Meaning one is a large sea serpent symbolizing evil in the Bible.  Meaning two is a large sea monster.  That pretty much describes Levi."
