Things That Make Me Smile 4/16/16

Jake (10), Alyssa (8), Zac (6), Tyler (4), Nicholas (1)

This was the week we went on a short vacation to Boyne Mountain and made lots of memories. We had fun building new LEGO sets, picking out some books and the thrift store, and making the best of our snowy April vacation. Lots of reasons to Smile! 

1. Alyssa: "The mountain was bigger last time we were here."

2. Alyssa: "What's a pirate's favorite letter?"
Me: "Rrrrrrrrrr!"
Alyssa: "No. X, because X marks the spot and always means treasure."

3. Jake: "How is sugar not good for you? I mean, it comes from a plant!"

4. Jake solved his 4x4 Rubik's Cube for the first time. 

5. Leighton, because I went out of the room for a few minutes to do laundry and Nicholas was getting into everything: "How do you get anything done all day at home?"

6. Tyler, the day after we got home: "Mama, you're the only one here that's big."
Me: "I know. Isn't that sad?"
Tyler: "Yeah, 'cause Daddy's not here."

7. Jake, about Nicholas:"His toes are so small, I just want to pop them off."

8. Eating at a pizza parlor.

9. Taking a bubble bath in the jacuzzi.

10. Building a snow-mommy and snow-baby (because I stayed in the room with Nicholas while Leighton took the big kids out to play in the snow).

11. Skipping stones.
