Canon Sillies

Canon was sitting on Brian's lap at church and was looking at the hair on his arms. He looked at him kind of disgusted and asked, "What's that?" Bri said "Its hair." He sat there and thought about it and then said as he pointed to the top of his head "So, did it fall from on top of there to down onto there? And did it stayed?"  "Yep," Bri said, "It'll happen to you too some day."

That's a scary thought for a kid.

I Pitty the Fool

Check out this webpage for fun April Fool's pranks.  Most are harmless.  I particularly love #28.

Primary Thank You's

I made this to insert with some magnets in a bag to give our primary teachers as a thank you.  We figured magnets were a useful gift.

We Love the Friend Magazine

Ethan wanted to make these pretzels from the friend magazine. I haven't eaten it yet (fast Sunday) but Ethan has reported they are good and we need to adopt it into our family recipe book.

Freshly Built

Check out our garden boxes just built. Aren't they pretty?

Satisfactory Parent Teacher Conferences

I'm happy to report the kids are all doing well. Ethan and Jocelyn had all E's. Ethan feels he's perfect and doesn't need to work on anything. Or at least he couldn't think of anything to work on when it came time to set a goal. Same with Joc :) It's pretty much true though. They are both good, smart kids. Ryen had some S's (satisfactory's-which is like a C) on hers and her teacher had some funny information about Ryen having a new boyfriend each week. Well this being the case, I told the kids maybe we should start paying for E's. Ethan thought that would be satisfactory. His words.

A Must Read!

Took the kids to the library today.  Logan gave me a couple of books he wanted to check out.  I just added them to the bottom of my pile.  While checking out I noticed this book:

I laughed and told the librarian that I wasn't paying attention to what my kids were adding to the pile.  She asked if I wanted her to check it back in.  I flipped through it.  (I don't know, maybe there was something gripping about it.)  Nope.
If anyone is interested it is 21.25 on Amazon.  

Deep Thoughts by Jocelyn

So we were having a serious conversation with our children about stranger danger. When we were all finished we noticed that Jocelyn had carved us a picture in our chair.  When we asked her what she was thinking she replied, "There was just nothing to do."

Uh, how about listen?
