So Sensitive

Ronnie (2.5): "Mommy, my feeling's hurt. Kiss it p'ease?"

Being Grateful...

James (6.5): "Mommy, how come you are always telling me to be grateful for the things I have, when you aren't letting me be grateful for my movies by not letting me watch them right now?"

Guest Starring...Trace

Our friends were over for a few hours today, and their son Trace is absolutely hilarious. He is a great idea-person & says some of the most brilliant things coming from a 4th grader. He is also very persuasive and great at justifying his position...

Trace (8): "When I turn 16 and get a car, I'm going to drive myself to Chuck E. Cheese everyday!"
Me: "Chuck E. Cheese... why?"
Trace: "What... I see people in there ALL THE TIME with beards and hairy backs."

Melanie... you REALLY need to blog this kid! Everything that comes out of his mouth is hilarious.

Kindergarten Graduate

James graduated Kindergarten last Friday and we are so proud of him!

Christmas Sheep

Ronnie & James were in the Christmas Pageant at our church this year. James was a shepherd, and Ronnie was a lamb. So as not to disappoint their father, at one point during the program they had a wrestling match on stage. :oS

Ronnie filled his role nicely as a sheep wandering astray. Here's a picture of him in the foyer - he was a little wiped out after running around too much.

Hay'Do

Haydee let me fix her hair finally... she screamed the whole time until I let her hold the spray bottle.

The Evolution of the Pencil Sharpener

James found an old pencil sharpener...

James (6.5): "Hey Mom. What's this?"
Mom: "A pencil sharpener."
James: "But it doesn't go bbbzzzzzzz..."
Mom: "Nope. Just watch... You turn the pencil in it like this..." (showing him with a color pencil)
James (eyebrows scrunched...): "What?? I have to turn it with my hand?"
