Funny Kids

(Conversation with Isaac about seagulls)

Isaac: Why are they called "seagulls"?

Me: Because they live by the sea.

Isaac (who is consumed by learning his alphabet right now): Are eagles called that 'cause they live by an "E"?

Get it? "C"-gulls and "E"- gulls.

(Conversation with Katherine and 2 friends in the back seat as I'm driving)

Friend #1: When is your birthday?

Katherine: November 17.

Friend #2: Oh, you're "such a terrorist".

Get it? Sagittarius.

Same Grits, New Grin

We have a one sweet little girl with a slightly altered grin! Isn't she cute?!

Dismissed

This has been a long week, and I'm so ready for it to be over. I won't go into all the crummy details, but instead I'll share something that really made me laugh.

A few minutes ago, as Isaac was on the floor playing, I leaned over to give him a hug. He said, "Okay, Mom, you can hug me for ONE minute, but you need to move along now."

Welcome 2010!

As usual, December was a whirlwind! And so far, January has been crazy as well. We arrived home from our 2300 mile road trip Sunday night, the kids and Scott had school/work Monday morning, and Scott just left on a trip out of the country to Belgium that was sprung on him just two days ago. My Christmas tree, which is still in the living room, is so dry that ornaments are falling off of it, but Scott will not allow me to put the Christmas stuff away because I don't "know the system". But we are safe, healthy and happy. And that's a good thing!

The pictures show just a few glimpses of moments spent with family in Alabama. It was a special time with lots of laughing, catching up, game playing, marshmallow roasting, 4 wheel and gator riding, pick up truck driving, peacock drama, singing, eating, and making many lifetime memories!
