Things That Make Me Smile 3/21/14

Jake (8), Alyssa (6), Zac (4), Tyler (1½)

Happy Weekend! Things have been busier than normal around here, giving us many reasons to Smile.

1. Alyssa, confidently: "I know what 10 plus 100 is: ten hundred."

2. Zac: "If I went to space, I would sleep all the time. Space is dark and you sleep when it's dark."

3. Jake, while reading: "It says they found 9 pieces of eight. How can that be?"

4. Finding Jake reading to his siblings just because.

5. Tyler sweetly saying "Gank gou, Mommy" every time I give him something. 

6. Zac, pointing to a picture of Batman: "Look how cutesy he is!"

7. Jake: "Tyler Joseph!"

Me: "What's he doing now?"

Jake: "He's getting in the garbage can, like a raccoon."

8. Jake: "Mom, are you going to be ready for a 5th one this year?"

Me: "A 5th one what?"

Jake: "A 5th child."

9. Zac choosing his socks for the day by which power he wants: Lightening McQueen for super speed, Mr. Incredible for super strength, etc..

10. Tyler watching a video of Zac reading his first book a few weeks ago.

11. Alyssa, not seeing the snow flakes falling: "It's spring! Can we go out in summer clothes now?"

12. Zac, to Alyssa: "I wish God didn't give you feet to kick me in the head."

13. Spending the day alone with Alyssa for her 6th birthday.

14. Jake, making up his own joke: "Why was the necklace sad?"

Me: "I don't know. Why?"

Jake: "Because it was neck-less!"
