We`re sitting on the drive way, it`s 82 degrees and James says "I`m tired of winter.'

Haha.

He followed that up by saying, "There isn't anything fun to do unless it snows." Meaning we can't go swimming or build a snowman which apparently are the only fun things to do...

Bi-monthly grocery day...

"Do you think my underwear with a bird on it is cute to wear to the grocery store?"

said by Hannah of course.

My Little Hannah

At the grocery store today...

Hannah: I want some of these!
Me: Sorry we don't eat fruit snacks. They give us cavities.
Hannah: But my grandma at church gives me them.
Me: Well one fruit snack a week is enough for one little girl.
Hannah: But all of my friends have fruit snacks.


Before we know it all her friends will have make up, cell phones, and cars. My mom's response (after laughing) "good luck with her."

Matthias Chatter

Matthias: I want a smart car when I'm a adult.
Me: Only one other person can fit in it with you.
Matthias: I will take Kai. (his first born)
Kristi: What about your other kids and your wife?
Matthias: I'll only have Kai, he's the first kid I'm having so there won't be any others. And my wife will be at home watching for robbers, and she will fight them. Hiyah!

San Diego

Visited Marcus and Elizabeth last weekend. So much fun, such good food, lots of great conversation and games. Love these two and so glad they are my family!

Rising Poet

Yesterday Hannah made a "shoe" from her cheese sandwich and was playing with it on the table. I said:

"There was an old lady
who lived in a shoe
she had so many children
she didn't know what to do."

Without missing a beat Hannah replied,

"The shoe tipped over.
The shoe didn`t crack.
The lady jumped out
and she saw her children playing in the sand."


Pretty good spontaneous poetry for a 2 year old, eh?

What Season Is It?

It's 74 degrees, the kids are raking leaves, and it's January...



We love Texas!
