Math Bloopers

Madisen and I were doing Math together and counting 2 piles of money. Her counting one and me counting the other and seeing who has more. She started counting...there was two five dollar bills and one dollar and a handful of change. She starts with the dollars and counts, 5...10....6....? huh? 6?

She was laughing so hard and got me laughing too. It was one of those moments I guess where you had to be there. :) But she wanted me to write it down so she would remember it. Funny girl! :)

Proud Parents

Madisen's teacher wrote me an email today telling me that Madisen is struggling a bit in math but that she is so proud of Madisen because she never gives up. She keeps fighting hard to do it even though it can be hard. I know math doesn't always come easy for her, but Ryan and I are so proud of her for not giving up when things get hard. Way to go Madi!

Squash Face

Avery came home from school and told me that her face got smashed on the bus.

I asked her how?

She said, "There was this big kid that sat on the seat with me and then another kid sat down by him so he scooted over and his backpack was so BIG it squashed my face all the way home.  Then she proceeded to show me how her face looked squishing her cheeks together with her eyes wide open.

I couldn't help but bust up laughing! She is such a goof.

IPAD Exercises

I asked Ryan if he got up early to exercise this morning, but he didn't respond right away and gave me this guilty look. Madisen quickly piped up and said, "He exercised his finger."

"What?" I asked.

Madison said, "Yeah, he was playing his game on the Ipad." haha.

Toilet Singing

I was in the kitchen getting breakfast for Avery, and Madisen. Emily came in from the bathroom moments later and said, "I heard daddy singing." I said, "Oh, did you hear him singing in the shower?"

"No." Emily said. "He was singing in his toilet!"

Exercise...in all it's varieties.

Dad asked Avery if she was chasing boys at school for exercise. Avery calmly replied, "I just follow them. It's almost the same as chasing them though. That is my exercise."

Emily comes into the room and tells us, "Madisen said something mean to me. And Jesus Christ would not want her to say mean things and she did."

To cut or not to cut

After family home evening Dad asks Emily if she is ready to cut her hair? And donate it to Locks of Love. Emily says, "Yes, I want to cut it short."

Avery says, "Not me! I want to grow my hair out to my knees or my feet like Rapunzel."

Emily then says, "I want to grow my had like Rapunzel too!"

"But I thought you wanted to cut it Emily?" Avery asked.

Emily says, "Well I just changed my mind! OK!"

Articles of Faith

We were having Family Home Evening and asked Madisen, "What is the 3rd article of faith...she has been learning them for her Child Of God award.

She said, "I can't remember that one but I know number 4 and 5." Right away Avery recites number 3 verbatim and we just all stare at her like what the heck?!

"How did you know that Avery?"

She said, "I just knew it."

Funny girl.
