Kid Talk

A full fruit basket makes the kids SO HAPPY! For them, the "basket" holds the key to taking away growing pains, colds, shortness, and a lack of muscles. They dig in mostly 'cause they love the taste, but also because they want to grow tall and strong (and go on roller coasters)!

Lucky for me, the kids LOVE Ramen! I dress it up with fresh fruits and veggies on the side - carrots, broccoli, apple slices and Clementine slices. Then they chase that down with a sugar cookie and some chocolate ice cream.

Josh: "I'm gonna eat my veggies last because in my stomach, I want them to be on top of the stuff that is not good for my body"!

Notice, Zack has two drinks! Milk so he can grow taller for roller coasters and water to quench his thirst! Crazy kid for sure!
A rare appearance of Kenny in front of the camera! Also, beginning now, no haircuts until the end of the school year. The boys have been begging for long hair which neither Gina or I care for, but I asked her if she'd mind the boys joining Zack in becoming a hippie to get it out of their systems, and she thought it was a fine idea. I don't think they are going to be fond of having to wet and comb it every morning once it is long enough for bed head. So, we'll see how long we make it, but I'm pretty committed to letting it go until mid May. Could I possibly have the next "Hansons" on my hands?
Here is some of the conversation that came up at dinner last night:
Sophia: "Where are we going"? "Where are we going"? "Where are we going"?
Uncle Jerry: "To the moon"!
Sophia: "You are lying." "Your truck can't fly."

Uncle Jerry: "Sophia, come downstairs." "You are too loud so please sit here with me for a few minutes."
Sophia (looking up at the landing): "Well, your house is open." "My mama's house is closed."

Mama: "Sophia, I missed you so much"!
Sophia: "I missed you too." "Where is Auntie Gina"?

Josh: "D, can we go and see Santa"? "Ummmm...."
D: "Sure."
Josh: "Well, ummmm, I don't really need to go." "Ummmm...yes, I do."

Zack: "Mom, how did you know what to get me."
Mom: silent
Steph: "Santa told your mom what to go and buy." "He had a list for her."
Zack: "Stepha, how will you know"?

This one's for Rosie! When did you shrink?

I am feeling a little queasy about the whole long hair thing! But it will be interesting to see if Kenny's hair is as curly as it was when he was little!
