Yesterday Jacob was hiding in the hamper, atop mine and Tyler's dirty clothes. He yelled out, "Yuck! Mommy what stinks so much like you in here?" Nice huh? I sure felt lovely.

Illiterate, edible and eager
August 24, 2007
A few things about Micah and Jacob's 1st day of school. 8-20-07
Jacob was talking to Tyler about school, telling him he loved it and everything, and then he said, "But I didn't learn to read."
During the afternoon, he, Jacob, was eating fruit snacks and telling Ben that he was going to smush a whole bunch together and make an "edible ball."
Micah learned a new word from his teacher on the 1st day and told me that he was, "eager to go to school," and that was why he woke up too early.

Shaver Lake Cross
August 20, 2007
We went to Shaver Lake on Saturday, 8-18-07. The lake was so low that some of the docks were just laying up on dry ground. Jacob, seeing one of these said, "Someone gigantic must have died there." The dock looked like a huge cross. Jacob knows that when someone dies in a traffic accident people will often place a cross at the scene of the accident. So, he came to the conclusion that since it was a huge cross, someone gigantic died there!

good bye traing wheels X4!
July 27, 2007
Micah learned today, finally, to ride a two-wheeler without training wheels, at age 6! It really is our fault though, it took us this long because we just simply haven't worked on it with him. Well, Jacob (age 4) also learned tonight how to do it too! He still needs some work, but he can do it! Well, I was commenting that it has been a good day and Micah said, "This is probably the best night of my whole life!" He has been wanting to be able to ride a bike for such a long time now and I'm so glad that we finally took the time to help him realize his dream!

To flick a booger out
July 13, 2007
Last week Tyler was laying with Benjamin on our bed when Benjamin tooted. Tyler laughed and Ben giggled and said, "Fireworks" or "Piyaworks"
Just a few minutes ago Micah was yelling for me but Tyler went to him and he said something about a moth flying into our house. Tyler asked him where it flew in from and Micah told him from the slider, Tyler asked him how, Micah said, "I opened it." Tyler asked why he opened it and Micah said, "To flick a booger out, OK?!"

Fireworks and boogers

Last week Tyler was laying with Benjamin (2 yrs old) on our bed when Benjamin tooted. Tyler laughed and Ben giggled and said, "fireworks" or in his way it sounds like, "piyawutz"
Just a few minutes ago Micah was yelling at for me but Tyler made it to him first and he said something about a moth flying into our house. Tyler asked him where it flew in from and Micah told him it flew in from the slider. Tyler asked Micah how, Micah said, "I opened it." Tyler asked why he had opened it and Micah said, "To flick a booger out, OK!"

Star Wars
Saturday June 9, 2007
My kids were coloring earlier today and they left some crayons and coloring books on the table. I have been known to enjoy coloring every now and again, so I decided to sit down for a few minutes and color. The kids books are pretty full of scribbles and half finished pictures, so I like to go through and color those. So I find a picture in the Star Wars coloring book that we've had for quite a long time. It is a picture of Luke using his light saber to slash down some vines, and he apparently sees Darth Vader. So I finish coloring it and show Micah, my oldest son who just completed 1st grade, He says, "Oh, that looks good Mommy, but I wonder why I colored Luke
(Bispin) wearing green clothes, I guess I colored it before I knew much about Star Wars." He finished off with a little laugh like he was somewhat amused by his ignorance. I asked him what color his clothes should be and he said very matter of fact, "Umm, like a yellowish orange color." How does he know all these characters so well? Princess Leia Slave is the one with the skimpy bikini thing and so on....
