Things That Make Me Smile 9/16/11

Here are the highlights from this week. 

1. Jake said, "I can't wait to lose my tooth so I can get $100! Then I can pass it out and share with everybody."

2. Zac got a little piece of chocolate for going on the potty. He celebrated by singing the Batman theme song with a twist. "Nuh nuh nuh nuh nuh nuh nuh nuh, Choc-choc!"  

3. Jake was sitting next to me in church, using his hand to "scoop" out the red verses (Jesus speaking) in my Bible and put them in his heart, right where Jesus is supposed to be.

4. Zac was watching me cut up a watermelon. With each slice, he became more and more concerned for the poor fruit. "Oh no! Oh no! Owie!" After a few more minutes, it became, "Stop it, Mommy. Owie!" He certainly had no problems eating it though.

5. Jake made up his own joke by himself. Q: What do trains' pants say? A: Toot toot!

6. Cuddling with all 3 of my precious children on the couch.

7. Jake lost his first tooth! (Post coming soon.)

8. We were listening to an announcement during church about a children's workshop. This caught Jake's attention.

                 Jake: "That means I can go!"

                 Me:   "No, it's just for the teachers."

                 Jake: "But I can build things." 

At this point I was confused. In my mind, it is a seminar to learn things about serving in those ministries. But, I realized that in his mind, a "children's workshop" meant the children get to work in the shop.

9. Jake told Zac, "I'm old enough to shoot an apple off your head."
