Build-a-Bear

Here are the girls at Build-a-Bear workshop. Maddie finally filled her marble jar and we got to go to the workshop. Lauren got some glasses for her bear (named Richmond) and she decided that she likes wearing them more than Richmond does. Maddie picked a ... DOG, we were a bit shocked but I guess that it makes sense. Her name is Lewis.

Love,

Jeff, Amy, Maddie, Lauren and Buster

PS - Buster didn't get an animal today maybe next time.

My Funny Kids

Parker -" Mom, can me and Ben have a piece of chocolate?

Mom - I don't know. We need to ask his mom.

Parker - Why?

Ben - Because I am allergic to wheat.

Parker - What does allergic mean?

Mom - It means it makes you sick.

Parker - Oh. I am allergic to work. It makes me sick!"

I need to begin by saying there is NO ROD in our tub.

Lauren was in the bathroom standing on the edge of the tub dancing, twirling, and spinning. I told her she'd better be careful or she might fall and crack her head. Lauren responded, "Don't worry Mom, I'll just hold tight to the iron rod. That will always keep me safe." 3-2-11

Parker got out of bed tonight and asked me for a pencil. I asked him why an almost 3 year old needed a pencil at bedtime. He replied, "so I can color on my wall." Well, at least he was honest!! 1-3-11

I am not sure if these next two should be funny but they are...

I was in my bedroom cleaning up trying to find the terrible smell. I kept thinking I would find a sour sippy cup of milk or a dirty diaper that somehow made it under the bed or in a dark corner somewhere. Lauren came in and asked what I was doing. I told her I was looking for a terrible smell but couldn't find it anywhere. She responded by saying, "well mom, maybe the Holy Ghost farted." maybe so Lauren...maybe so. 10-28-10

Today after church we were all in the gym while Jeff was helping clean up the chairs. I needed to talk to someone so I left and told Jeff to keep an eye on the kids. Well, we all know how difficult that is when you are busy stacking chairs. I came back to see the accordion curtains to the chapel open and Parker was on the stand RUNNING and STOMPING on the piano keys. I sent Jeff to get him because I couldn't stop laughing......I have a warped sense of humor!! 10-31-10

-----------------------------------

We have a board game that has little super hero figures in it. Jeff & Parker were playing it & Parker picked up Spiderman & Spiderwoman. He showed them to Jeff and said, "Look, Spiderman & Spider Mommy." I'm so glad Parker thinks of me that way!!! 10-6-10

-----------------------------------

While driving in the car today Lauren told me that she knows exactly what she wants to be when she grows up. "I want to be a mom just like you." OK, I said and why is that? Lauren responded, "so I can be the boss." 9-24-10

-----------------------------------

In primary today Lauren was the VIP. She was asked to come to the front of the room and they read a paragraph all about Lauren. Then they asked her, "Lauren, what is one of your most favorite things to do?" She replied in total seriousness, "Breathe, I love to breathe." 8-29-30

-----------------------------------

Today I was outside with my back to Jeff. I bent over to wind up the hose and Jeff said, "That is my favorite thing to watch" and Maddie said, "What? Watching mom work??" 8-27-10

-----------------------------------

Tonight for FHE, I asked Maddie to read the first part of the 13th article of faith. It went like this...."We believe in being honest, true, chaste, VIOLENT, virtuous, and in doing good to all men...." It made me laugh since my kids seem to be rather "violent" during FHE. Appropriate!!?? 8-23-10

-----------------------------------

Today I was explaining to Lauren that because her skin is so sensitive, she needs "special" sunscreen on her face or she will break out in hives. Later when I was giving her a bath she said," Mom, I am so glad you put that sunscreen on my face. I would hate it if bees flew in me." I was totally confused and asked her what she was talking about. She replied, "Well if I break out in hives, bees would for sure fly in me since that is where they live and that would be awful!!" 8-18-10
