Thank you OnStar

Raegan surprised me today when I was trying to explain to her why she couldn't sit in the front seat....the airbags coming out if we crashed, etc... her response was if we get in a crash I just push that button and she pointed to the OnStar red cross button in my car.  I've never told her about OnStar or even used it when she's been in the car with me, so I was completely shcoked.  I said Raegan how did you know that, her response "because." I'm guessing she's seen an OnStar commercial and she just soaks in everything! I'm glad at least some of it is beneficial!

Raegan's funnies

I'm hiding
My bubba did it (she has imaginary siblings, it helps keep life interesting)
I'm do' do' Dora
Na Na Na Na you can't get me
My friend do that
I want to watch red nose (referring to Rudolph the red nosed reindeer)
Look at my face, mean teacher day that (from Despicable Me - her favorite movie)
Mommy you're my best friend
I want to see an oil pump (and she knows that it pumps oil from the ground so we can have gas for our choo choos; I see an engineer in the future ; )
Why you do that God? (After seeing a front yard overcrowded with Christmas decor)

me: Raegan, where do angels live?
Raegan: In Texas!
me: No they live in Heaven with God and Jesus
Raegan: No God and Jesus live at my church

The picture above is of Raegan being silly when I made her stop making my sister's dog eat his food to take a picture.

After mall trick-or-treating Monday evening, Raegan enjoyed handing out candy to trick-or-treaters in our neighborhood.

I think this says I'm a bad influence on my daughter.
