Wishing & Waiting

 November...

Blake: I can't wait for it to snow!
Wyatt: Snow is so much fun; making snowmen, building snow forts, snowball fights!
Oliver: It seems like the snow will never come!

March...

Blake: I can't wait for all that snow to melt!
Wyatt: We're missing so much fun; playing soccer, climbing trees, digging in the dirt!
Oliver: It seems like spring will never come!

Christoph: Is it simply the nature of humans to always long for what they lack?
Kevin: Quite possibly.  Right now, I'm longing for a piece of cake.

Katie: Well, it does seem like it's been an awfully long winter.
Sasha: And spring still seems so far off.

Kaveh: But we do have the promise of spring; the anticipation!
It's all ahead of us - so many wonderful times.

Katie: That is a nice thought.

Frank: Yeah, it's kind of like the feeling of tearing the 
wrapper off a candy bar before you even take the first bite.

Sasha: Wow.  Who knew Frank could be so philosophical?
Katie: When his mouth isn't full.

No Time to Lose

Alice: Oh dear me, I sure hope we can find it!

Alice: It's not in here.
Luke: Not in here either, but there is a very tempting 
slice of pineapple upside down cake.

Luke: Not in the trash.
Alice: I should hope not.  That would be terribly wasteful!

Luke: See anything?
Alice: >cough< >splutter< Just some dust bunnies.
Luke: Don't let Ulli know that.  She would freak!

Luke: It's not under here either.
Frank: While you're down there, you don't see a ham sandwich by chance, do you?

Alice: It's not in these drawers.
James: Did the remote go missing again?
Kurt: Don't look at me; I can't even work it.

Luke: Not in here.
Meghan: What on earth are you looking for, anyway?
Ann Marie: Hmmm...I think I know.

Alice: We lost an hour last night, and we're trying to find it!

Meghan: >Sigh<
Holly Belle: >Eye roll< You two have lost more than that.
