Carter Quote

Quote from seven-year-old Carter:   "Just kidding Mom...I love you, but sometimes you are a handful."

Snow Angels

How to make a snow angel in 93 degree weather:  As part of his break dancing routine seven-year-old Carter was making a snow angel on their wood floor. He did, however, call it  "making a dust angel".

Mother's ----Week

I have always thought--especially after I became one--that moms deserved more than a one-day celebration.  In an effort to keep the Mother's Day celebration going, I would like to share Mandy's Mother's Day Card from her son Richard.

My mom's name is MOM.  She is 16 years old and has BLUE eyes and Brown hair.  Her favorite food is PIZZA.  I love my mom because SHE IS NICE.

Okay Moms....What did Mandy like most about her amazing card?  You guessed it....Richard says she is only 16!!!  No wonder she always looks so fresh and beautiful!

Happy Mother's Week to all the hard-working moms I know and those I have yet to meet!

Gone Fishing

Three year old's vocab word:

Fishening---to finish eating Goldfish Crackers

Do you think Webster's will pick that word up for 2013?  Makes perfect sense to me. 

What's Better Than Candy?

While four-year-old Chevi was getting dressed one morning, he told Mom
all about the yummy snack he had at Cub Scouts last night.

Mom: "It did look good... like a granola bar covered in chocolate." 
Chevi: "And... it tasted like candy!"  I
Mom:  "Well, you know there's nothing better than candy!"
Chevi:  "Except cardboard!"

WHAT?????

Precious or Precocious?

I take every opportunity possible to ply our daughter's fourth-grade teacher with treats, such as chocolate, for occasions just like this. 

Text from Mrs. L:  Your baby just asked me why naive has two dots above it.  I said I wasn't sure.  I told her she needed to ask someone smarter then me and she said, "OK, hey Wyatt...."

Is it a coincidence that precocious is just precious with a couple extra letters?  I think not!

P.S.  By the time I picked her up from school my pre--cious daughter actually did know the name of "those two dots" AND why they are sometimes placed over vowels.  Thanks,  Mrs. L... I see a wonderful gift for Teacher Appreciation Week in your future!

Amazing Talent!
