A couple of days ago Mary emailed a few family members while Nicole and Noah napped. It was so fun for her to get responses instantaneously, and since then has been asking me to check the computer for replies. I told her the letters to type and she had a great time telling jokes and sending her love to her missionary grandparents, Uncle Jared, and cousins Marcus and Annie.
One conversation was particularly funny. Mary is constantly teased by her wonderful next door neighbor and uncle, Damian, and she eats up every second of it. Since Christmas he comes to our house and pretends to look for her "special" toys to steal. Usually she laughs and runs around trying to stop him from swiping them. This was their exact conversation.

Mary: hi damian. this is mary. i hid all of my toys. you will never find them. you are silly.
Damian: I snuck into your house early this morning and found two of them. I took them with me to work. They are sitting on my desk.
As to the rest of your toys...I will find them because I am going to buy a dog that can smell all toys no matter where they are hidden. His name is Rex. I will bring him home to hunt for your toys.
I love you. But I love to steal toys more. Just call me the toys monster.
Mary: damian, there are no dogs in the grocery store...none of them. you are a funny toys monster stealing my toys.
Damian: I got the dog from the dog catcher. Rex is a special dog that was in jail for stealing other toys and burying them. He is also an expert at hiding bones and doggie treats. That is why the dog catcher took him off the street. I liked him when I saw him so I went and bought him. I did not know that you were going to hide your toys from me so now I have the perfect excuse to bring him home and have him try to find your toys. He has magic eyes that let him see through boxes and stuff. He does not bite. He does stink though so I do not think that your mom will like him too much. Maybe I cna sneak in the house when she is asleep.
Mary: she will never sleep. damian, you are a silly man taking my toys. dogs are not allowed to come in our house. I am going to write a dog on our door and x it (see picture above).
Damian: He will come through the fireplace or through the hole above the oven. He is very sneaky. Your mom has to sleep sometime or she will get sick. I will find a way to get your toys. I love to play with toys. I need to have toys or I will die.
Mary: DAMIAN, GET OUT OF THE HOUSE!!!!! That's all. I'm making my signs.
Damian: I have to work. But I will make my own signs too for my house.

oh my gosh Allison that is too funny and cute! Mary is cracking me up!
This was hilarious!! The uncle is a hoot and your little girl's answers are sooo cute. Tell her the sign idea for "no dogs allowed" is a great idea. And remember, Allison, you'd better sleep with one eye open! (:
I think I say the same thing every time...But I'm going to say it again.
I love your family to pieces.
Uncle Frankie is at it again. Love it! I'm so glad you scanned that picture of her crossed out dog. Totally priceless.
Ha ha ha ha! That is totally awesome.
I had to come back and read this again. "Damina get out of the house!" I love that! hilarious!
I read Mary and Damian's conversation to Helen and Abe and they thought it was so funny, too. Although Helen may keep her sys on Damian when she sees him next.
I'm so glad you're back posting a lot! I love the stories and the cute pictures. Tell Mary that Annie's grandma Ashton will come up and spank Uncle Damian if he steals any of her toys!
That Uncle Damian sounds creepy. I am going to ask Mary all about it and make sure she knows that Uncle Damian's wife is NOT PART of this smelly dog adventure. Uncle Damian's chickens sneaking into your house to sit on your couch is ENOUGH!
You are a patient mom to help her type all of that! What are uncles for but to tease right? That was hillarious. Remember Allison, no sleeping for you!
So cute!
