Happy Friday! `This week we went to The Henry Ford Museum, spent a bit of time reorganizing books, celebrated Dr. Seuss' birthday with a day of fun, and made many memories together.

1. Zac, after he had put on his suit and combed his hair for church: "Now I look like a fancy gent."

2. Tyler, in the van: "I wish Nicky was in the front so cute driving."

3. 

4. Jake, making up his own joke: "What do you do when a popsicle is bad? You give it a lickture." (lecture)

5. Jake, watching a baby walk with squeaker shoes: "That would make it hard to sneak up on somebody."

6. Alyssa, after watching the Giant Screen Experience movie Mysteries of the Unseen World: "That was really interesting."

7.

8. Zac, thinking: "My mind is tingling."

9. Jake, making up his own joke: "How did the hot dog go into the lion's den? It gathered all the courage it could mustard."

Happy Friday! Did you have a special moment or funny memory from this week? Share it with us so we can Smile with you, too! Here are some of my favorites from this week.

1. Jake, making up his own joke: "What would a judge say if he worked at the drive thru at McDonald's? . . . Order! Order!"

2. Zac: I want at least 5 children--at least. You know why? I want to name them after the (Lego) Nexo Knights."

3.

4. Me: "My skin is so dry. I need some lotion."

Alyssa: "I have some perfumy lotion."

Zac: "I have some spit lotion!"

 
5. Tyler: "I love it when it's so beautiful outside!"

6. Zac, to Alyssa: "Don't scream like a little girl."

Alyssa: "But I am one."

7.

8. Jake, making up his own joke: "Which composer is most likely to get chicken pox?  . . . Ba-Ba-Bach!"

9. Alyssa, after Nicholas convinced her to play with him when she was trying to do something else: "I don't know how he works his charm."

Things That Make Me Smile 5/12/12

What? It's Monday and I'm just now sharing Friday's post? In the words of my 2 year old, said with a southern accent, "Dat not bery niiiice."

Without further ado, on to the smiles!

1. Tyler was making unhappy faces. Jake told him, "Don't cry." Tyler instantly started crying. Jake responded, "Hey, I said 'don't cry.'"

2. Jake was digging up a small, young Rose of Sharon. When he was almost through the root and was wiggling the tree around, he said, "It feels like a loose tooth."

3. Leighton dug up the remaining root of the tree so it wouldn't grow back. Jake asked, "Why can't we leave some? I want to do that again. That was fun!"

4. We were preparing to leave church when Alyssa started to panic. "Where's my purse? Where's my purse??? Where's my purse?!?" My mom calmly answered, "It's on your shoulder."

5. Jake, talking about our homemade Butterfingers: "It's the best thing I ever put on my taste buds."

6. A girl in our church wore her hair up in a bun. Alyssa said, "She looks like a grandma. Donald Duck's grandma."

7. Jake: "I wonder how far away the moon is. I think it's higher than 100 feet."

8. Jake loves making up his own jokes. His newest one is quite clever.
Jake: "Why was the house on the stove?"

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

Jake: "Because 'Home, Home on the Range.' You know, since range is another word for 'stove."
