Out of the Mouths of Babes!

Well, each of my children always has something funny to say. More when they're little, but sometimes the older ones too.

Jacob has gotten old enough that he doesn't have too many funny slipups anymore. Joshua is young enough that he still doesn't say many words, but his facial expressions are hilarious. He'll give a look sometimes that is like rolling his eyes, but he droops his eyelids really low and glances out of the corner of his eye at you. Then he laughs very loud and runs away.

Jordan and Rachel gave us a couple of funny kid-isms to share again.

First, Jacob was saying (for some reason I can't remember), "I've fallen and I can't get up!" - the quote from that old commercial. And Jordan said, "Is that Shakespeare?" Jacob pretty much fell out on the floor laughing at him.

While Jacob & Jordan were in Houston a couple of weeks ago, I was trying to get Rachel to help me with something and she didn't want to do it. I said, "I'm doing all these fun things with you. Today I took you to the park and Children's Museum and tomorrow we're going to the Bounce, and how do you repay me?" And she said, "I don't know! 50 dollars?"

$50 would never be enough :)

My kids repaid my kindness of taking them to our church to see a movie & have lunch by ending up grounded to their rooms - all 3 of them! - for the entire afternoon. Fun day we had!! Of course, the ensuing naps we all took helped to give us a better evening, but still - geez!
