Things That Make Me Smile 10/16/15

Jake (9½), Alyssa (7½), Zac (5½), Tyler (3½), Nicholas (10 months)

Happy Friday! This week we canned more apple stuff, had a get-together at church, and took the kids to the Children's Museum. Lots of fun, lots of Smiles.

1. Tyler: "How come I can't hear that sound?"

Me: "What sound?"

Tyler: "The one I can't hear."

2. Jake, about Nicholas: "How does he even contain all that cuteness?"

3.

4. Alyssa, holding a dripping canned mandarin orange segment and looking very suspicious: "Here, Tyler, want this?"

{Jake walks up with the same mischievous smile}
Me: "What did you do to it?"
Alyssa: "Nothing."
Me: "Really. What did you do to it?"
Jake, still smirking: "Nothing. It was the last one, so we saved it for him."
Me: "You didn't dip it in pickle juice or something?"
Jake: "No . . . but that's a great idea! I'm going to remember that one."

5. Tyler: "It's a lan that turns, so it's a lantern."

6. Tyler: "Do you know your letters?"

My Mom: "Yes. {sings} A, B, C, D, E--"

Tyler, excited: "Those are my letters, too!"

7.

8. Alyssa, seeing a banana peel in a parking lot: "They shouldn't leave that there. Someone's car might drive through it and slip."

9. Tyler: "Is it already yesterday?"

10. Alyssa, grocery shopping: "Is it a rule that you have to fill the cart?"

11. Alyssa, while learning about the salt in the Dead Sea: "Does it have pepper, too?"
