Out of the mouths of babes

"Mom, do you want to know why I didn't get mad when I couldn't play with friends?... I wanted to feel the spirit." 

Comfort Food

See that red tag on Puddin's blankey? Apparently it has magical sleep-inducing qualities and tastes just right when combined with a thumb. She traces her fingers along the blanket edges until she finds it, then pops her thumb in and rolls onto her side. Ahhhh. 

Thriller

Don't they all look thrilled?


Okay, MK does.

I just don't clown around, Mom...

At parent-teacher conference, the teacher gave me this letter that Getty wrote about his academic goals:

Dear Mom and Dad, 

I want to be better at cursive. I want to do adishon math more often. I want to be Quieter to not talk to conner like telling him to Be Quieter So I can work. I want to read evry night in a chapter Book. 

Sincerly Getty Evans

Happy Birthday, MiLo!

Beat This

I allowed my boys to make a "potion" (not that they asked me, but I saw what they were doing and didn't interfere) of Elmer's glue and neon green food coloring. They were on the back porch. Fine. Somehow they decided the best place to continue their experiment was in the garage on the black doormat (you know, where you wipe your feet before you come into the house). The entire potion spilled (of course) but wasn't exactly visible as it was absorbed into the black mat. Guess how many sets of shoes went through the spill and into the house before anyone noticed the neon green goopy footprints all over the house? Did you guess four? You would be right. GLUE ... (ponder that for a sec) and NEON ... (pondering?) green footprints all over the house. Beat it. That was yesterday. All I'm doing today is cleaning up pee. My 3-year-old has been night potty trained for about 7 months now, so he's only wetting the bed every other night since we've moved. It wasn't his pee, it was my 6-year-old who actually peed the bed twice in one night and left the soaking wet boxers and pajamas on the carpet. So, I'm just washing his sheets and comforter and two sets of pajamas and two boxers and the carpet. That's all I'm doing right now.

Moving On

Holier than Thou

Not the most important reason we moved but compelling in its own way :)

Fiesta!
