Things That Make Me Smile 8/24/18

Jake (12 1/2), Alyssa (10), Zac (8 1/2), Tyler (6), Nicholas (3 1/2)


Happy weekend! This week, we did more canning, went geocaching, had a family water balloon fight, roasted hot dogs and marshmallows over the fire, and enjoyed being together. 


1. Alyssa: "When I grow up, I'm going to come to your house for dinner often."

2. Nicholas: "Can I have toast with tuna on it?" (meant Nutella: 'tella, tuna)

3. Nicholas, pointing to the clock: "Mama, look. It's 30 o'clock."

4. Nicholas, about the dough attachment for the KitchenAid: "Mom! I found a grappling hook! It's for pirates."


5. Nicholas, in the basement hearing Tyler upstairs through the heat vent: "Ty? Ty, I hear you! I am Nicholas! I am talking to you!"

6. Alyssa: "If I have kids--and I hope I do--I hope they're like Nicky."

7. Zac: "Mom, can you give me your recipe for (strawberry) compote? That way my wife can make it someday."

8. Alyssa: "Nick, did you take a bite of my cookie?"
Nicholas, making a confused face: "I thought it was Tyyer's cookie."

9. A portion of our canning for the week.


10. Nicholas: "Mama, Tyyer won't let me play wif his camera. And Zachy won't, and Jacob won't."
Me: "Then you'll have to find something else to play with."
Nicholas: "I know! Lyssa's!"

11. Me: "Do you want Netflix or Amazon Prime:"
Nicholas: "Hmm . . . Amazon Slime."
