Christmas might be cancelled.

Yesterday (Dec 4th) while driving to pick up the girls from school.

 (in the most pathetic, I don't feel good voice possible)
Thomas:  I don't feel good Mom.  I think I'm going to be sick on Christmas.  (slight pause) I think we'll have to cancel Christmas.

Mom:  WHAT?? Cancel Christmas ?? Are you crazy.  Why? 

Thomas start laughing like crazy.  And he kept a serious sick looking face the whole time. 

Pumpkin Fun !!

Katherine trying to pick up the gigantic pumpkin, thanks to the McPherson's. Kaylee's turn, to do the same thing. They thought it was great that they were able to pick up such a big pumpkin. Thomas was bending down to try and pick up the pumpkin. But lost his balance and kind of fell over the top and rolled over it.

Here are my 5 amazing kids!!! They never cease to make me laugh, unless they make me a little upset, but it's quickly forgotten.

Katherine wanted to take a picture with me in it, so here are Ethan, Heidi, and Kaylee. Thomas got bored and ran off. Heidi's trying to pick up the same gigantic pumpkin. I don't think she was able to get it off the ground though.

These two monkeys, decided to start rolling the pumpkins to move them. That is what made me laugh the most. Because they just thought of it and did it. I did have to end it before they pumpkins were in bad shape.

We carved the pumpkins for FHE later this same night --- I love these times when we can spend together. Especially since, they will all be grown up before I know it!! I love these gals and guys.

Potato Salad and Easter Eggs

October 14, 2007 Yesturday after church, I was making potato salad and my two year old little boy asked me for an Easter Egg. Of course, I was peeling plain white, hardboiled eggs. A few minutes later after I had finished peeling and rinsing off the eggs, he asked me "Why are you putting easter eggs in that bowl, mommy?" So I guess he has associated boiled eggs as being Easter eggs whether they are colored or not. I thought it was cute.

Trick or Treat !!

October 14, 2007 My kids were watching ET the movie, and there was a part on there where they said "trick or treat" and Thomas heard it and said, " TRICK OR TREAT? ---- YEAH !!!" I asked him if he knew what trick or treating was and he said, " CANDY!!" He got all excited and started jumping up and down and happy as a clown!!

Tales of a Hat .....

October 9, 2007 I came across an old infant "santa" hat and decided to be silly and put it on Ethan's head, it fit -- but very snug!! Thomas noticed that Ethan was wearing this hat and said, " Mom, Ethan's wearing a birthday hat!" When Thomas first saw Ethan he was laying on the floor with the hat on his head and the pointed end was sticking straight up, but then when Ethan rolled over he said " A Christmas Hat!"

Snowflakes

January 7, 2004 Kaylee, Katherine and I were working with paper making snowflakes. Kaylee was coloring hers, Katherine was just cutting up paper. I said they could hang them on their sliding glass door. I walked in and they had some shapes of paper on the window. I asked how they got them on -- and if there was tape? While holding a tube of chapstick Katherine said, " No I'm just gluing them on."

I have Two Eyes

12 - 25 - 2003 While at Grandma and Grandpa Randolphs house in California, Kaylee was playing Ping Pong against her daddy. Someone turned on the T.V. in the same room. (Kaylee has a weakness for T.V.) She kept looking at it while playing and wasn't paying attention to the ball. Daddy said "Kaylee you need to keep you eyes on the ball and watch the ball. Kaylee : " That's okay daddy I've got two eyes."
