Jake (8), Alyssa (5½), Zac (4), Tyler (1½)
1. Jake, about chocolate-covered pretzels: "These are as good as brains made out of noodles!"
4.
5. Zac, singing: "Hark, the hero angels sing!"
6. The kids always pretend that their super powers are determined by their clothing (pictures, designs, etc). Zac was wearing plain pants and a plain shirt, so he said, "I have pocket power!"
7. Jake: "Hey, how did Tyler get out here? I locked him in my room on purpose."
8. The kids and I were scrolling through Lego stuff when a sea captain minifigure
came on the screen. Jake said, "Hey, I had a dream about that guy!" Then he proceeded to tell me about his dream in which all the people were walking, talking, Lego characters, except for him.
9.
10. Alyssa, whining: "Jake said I'm going to be a tattle-taler!"
11. Jake, while making chocolate-covered Oreos: "Hey, can we try coating silly putty in chocolate."
Me: "No."
Jake: "But silly putty's really good. I tried it when I was 2."
Me: "Tell me you're joking."
Jake: "No, it's really good. It tastes like sugary pancakes."
What made you smile?
Happy Friday! What a great week it's been. Like I said before, we had two performances of our Christmas musical production and play on Sunday, the kids' Christmas program on Wednesday, a baking marathon with my mom on Thursday, and a bunch of miscellaneous things to fill the gaps. 'Tis the season to be busy? Tyler is 100% healthy again (yea!) so that means that he's been into everything this week. Everything. He gives me many reasons to smile.
1. Jake, about chocolate-covered pretzels: "These are as good as brains made out of noodles!"
2. Zac: "You know that guy that has 2 arms and 2 legs? Who is he?"
3. Jake, in response to my lamenting their growing up: "Would you like me to make a stop-growing-inator?"
