Funny Things

So I don't have any new pictures uploaded, but I thought I'd record some funny things that my kids said today...I don't think I do that enough.

For the first couple days of school, Jonah didn't want me to leave him. In fact, he cried when I left and didn't really participate in class. Well, that has totally changed now. He LOVES preschool, and I think he'd go every day if he could (he goes 3 days a week). So tonight at bedtime out of nowhere he says to Micah, "We all know that I'm not afraid of school anymore." Yes Jonah, we all know that.

Kate was having a mischevious day today. She and Jonah were watching t.v. and I was in the kitchen when she comes in to talk to me. I hadn't fixed her hair, so she decided to do it herself.

Kate: "Mom, don't I look good?"

Me: (The front of her hair is wet and plastered haphazardly to her forehead). "Yes, Katie, that looks great. Did you fix it yourself?"

Kate: "Yeah, it was a little bit crazy."

Me: "What did you use to fix it?" (I'm thinking she might have gotten into Micah's hair gel.)

Kate: "It's just water...Actually, it's just a little bit of juice."

Just so you know, dried apple juice is just as effective as hair gel. Needless to say we washed our hair tonight.

Hmmm, I never thought about using juice to tame Emma's hair. Thanks Kate! Ha Ha. Shannon, you have a very girly-girl on your hands. And I am SO GLAD Jonah loves preschool. Emma looks forward to going every single day. She likes it more then she did last year! See ya soon!

I love the stuff kids say! More than once it's reminded me that being a mom is the best!

Oh - we miss having you guys over once a week. Kaleb finally stopped asking if we would see Jonah at church. How is it juggling three!?! May the force be with you. :)

Juice? What a good idea! I'm glad that Jonah is enjoying preschool! How are you doing? I still haven't seen you in person or sweet Lincoln since you had him. Hopefully soon!
