A Child's Prayer

Avery was asked to say the prayer for lunch and it was just after we had gotten back from Kindergarten registration where she counted to 100 for the teacher. So in her prayer she prayed that she would learn how to count to a million!

"You can always count on me mom!"

I asked Avery if she could dust the upstairs TV area, and about 15 minutes later she came downstairs and said, she was finished. I told her Thank you for doing that. She proudly responded pointing her thumb to her chest, "You're Welcome. You can always count on me mom!" (I hope this is how she responds when she is a teenager too! That would be sweet!)

Our "Mormon"

For F.H.E. we were acting out ancient prophets in the scriptures as our activity and it was Avery's turn. She was pretending like she was writing the gold plates while making the funniest facial expressions. Yet, we weren't sure what she was doing! She finally had to tell us who she was. She said, "I'm Mormom. I was pretending I'm old with white hair popping out!"

Emily was riding her bike with intensity. She is a really fast pedal-er on her little trike. She skids to a stop on the sidewalk, turns towards Ryan and gives him a cheesy grin and pumps her hand with a thumbs up. Then turns, and rides off in the wind. :)

Relief

This is what I heard from my bedroom just a few minutes ago from Emily..."I have to go potty... I have to go potty... I have to go potty...I have to go potty..." As she is pulling down her pants to go then she stops chanting that and I hear her say, "AHHHHHH....AHHHHH...AHHHHH!"

Kissing Button

Emily came into the room and asked me if she could play in the garage. I told her not yet, it's too early and too cold. I then said to her, "Ohhh, you are so cute! I am going to kiss you Button!" Then Ryan said, "No, I am going to kiss you Button!"

Emily responded, "Nobody's going to kiss Button!" As she runs out of the room.

Pine...something!

Went grocery shopping today and got tons of fruits and vegetables as Ryan and I are tying to improve our diets. Avery runs in the kitchen, sees a pineapple and says, "Oh Yum! A pine cone! I love pine cones!"

Ballroom pants

I stayed home sick today from church, and Avery and Madisen came home and told me they were invited to a Ball. There is stake family dance coming up. Avery said, "I am so excited, I am going to poop my pants!"

Bum Cracks?

We had a friend come over for a play date the other day. This little girl has been over many times, but today she turned to Emily and said, "Emily I see your butt crack! haha-ha!" I was shock that this little girl said this, but then Emily turned to her and said, "I don't have a crack!"

I then told the girls everyone has a bum crack. Emily then said, "But where's my bum crack? I can't see it!" 

"It's there, it's small but it's there." I told her. Emily said to her friend, "Don't look at my bum crack!" 

Never thought I would ever say the words, bum crack to my kids. There's a first for everything I guess!
