We Munchkins

At the dinner table tonight ---
Claire: Are you tired, Mommy?
Heather: A little.
Claire: Is it because of we, Mommy? Because of we munchkins?

In the living room, Claire and Lilah are playing some version of house. It is nighttime; they lie still beneath their blankets. Then, Lilah announces:
Morning time! Okay, and now we do memorizing. Trust in the Lord with all your heart! The sun will not strike you by day, nor the moon nor night. He who keeps you will not be slumbered!

Sometimes, at bedtime, we have a train to the girls' bedroom where we have story and prayer time. "This Little Light of Mine" is the usual soundtrack for the bedtime train; the girls like to get on our backs and Cole marches in front, chiming in when we get to the verse about hiding our lights. "Hide it under a bushel - No!" He keeps up a steady "No! No! No! No!" till the end of the song.
