Mom to Case (almost 2 yrs old) “Honey, that is not chapstick, that is a gluestick”
Hadley wrote a verb book in first grade. So it was “Kord runs. Dad works. Case plays. Mom eats.” REALLY. Are you kidding? At least is wasn’t “Mom drinks”
These kids crack me up. We went on an excursion down the hill from my house complete with checking out the big ol' waterfalls, getting SOAKED by Jamie's d%#$ dog running through the muddy water, 8 kids having a ball hiking 2 miles on rocky trails, and calling Jamie's husband to come get us back to our cars after we ended up on the other side of Camas. Thanks Tim!
Layne and Hadley were discussing their aversion to Grandpa Merrill’s pool because it has a vacuum that drives around on the bottom and looks a little scary. Hadley said, “I’m scared of those things”. Kord, immediately and calmly replied, “Yeah, Sam lost a cousin in Montana ”. Sam is Kord’s best friend from down the street.

Lowe's Kid's Workshop days.
Tea party! Having a sister is the best!
Hadley played basketball this year. Her team was the only team of all girls. They didn’t exactly dominate the league, but they were ALL smiles the whole time. Hadley got the first basket of the season. At half-time of the last game, Hadley was practicing some shooting and wasn’t making the baskets. She ran over to Russ and I with all smiles, “Don’t worry, I’ll get it.” Then we talked about how she was TOTALLY going to get one last basket of the season. With 30 seconds left in the game she plowed through the huge boys on the other team and got her basket. After the game, she came up to us with a huge smile and all the confidence in the world, “told you I’d get it”.
Long story short:
- pineapple can dropped on toe
- tough kid
- middle of night...screaming
- Russ tried to heat needle and poke hole in toenail to release pressure and blood
- Didn't work...called Dad...said "right idea, wrong tool, try a paper clip"
- wisp of smoke, spurt of blood, faint smell of branding cows in the air (so says Russ)
- Happy Case...asked for fruit loops
Holy Crap he IS tough! Yick! I love that he asked for fruit loops tho!
ReplyDeleteTea Parties are fantastic!!
