Kids Say......

Here is another one for the journal.

Alex: "I got my running lessons from Ginny, That's why I run so fast."
After soccer practice I told him he did a really good job tonight.
Alex: " I guess my running lessons paid off."

Jayden's I think you might have had to been there for it to be as funny as it sounded. But I want to record it because I want to remember it.

Jayden was being very hyper in the car. He does this alot. He likes to scream in the car too. Something we are working on. Somwhere in all his hyper nonsense babbling he starts saying yelling MOOO MOOO MOOO then in a very sweet calm voice " Hi Cow"

Teaching Moments

We took the kids to the Apple Orchard last month. The kids had so much fun. This experience was so great for them. We were able to teach them about Service, a little about Canning, and how you can get apple cobbler from a Tree!





The kids thought it was funny to let the apples hit them on the head. I know. I know. Too many anvils.






Jayden later fell. Good catch Mom!

So sweet!





We put these little ones to work. They peeled all the apples themselves!




"It's Ming Ming" (It's actually Linny)
Boil, Boil     



Toil and Trouble!










Q - "Do you know what they keep in the preservation room?"

A - "Delicious Jams and Jellies?"

We are saving these for apple pies and cobbler!

Super

Alex and I found a Super Hero store in the Karcher Mall. Alex was in Awe. He even forgot about how hungry he was and how sad he was that the pretzel store was closed. He spent an hour looking at all the figurines before deciding to spend his Tooth fairy money on a Batman pez dispenser. We then went to McDonalds because we were so hungry. A soldier was sitting next to us. Alex says "Mom look a soldier, superheros do exist in this world."

All He'll Want For Christmas....

His two bottom teeth. Alex woke me up this morning to tell me he lost his first of two loose teeth this morning.

Ladies Man

Getting stories about school from Alex is like pulling teeth. But when he finally does tell them they are so cute. Thought I would share this story.

Alex told me that at snack time (during recess) he offered some of his pretzels to the girls, Yes plural, sitting next to him.

Alex -"But I didn't want to share all my pretzels with them because then I wouldn't have any for my after school snack"

(He shares his left overs with Jayden when he gets home.)

"when I told them they couldn't have any more, they turned back around into their circle and started talking again. Like this."

(He demonstrates this including mimicking their faces. Then he gets this big grin on his face.)

"So maybe next time you can send me with two snacks. So I can share one bag with the girls."


Now I am sitting here listening to Jayden who has started singing along with all his movies. So Cute!
