Dinner time

At dinner, we were trying to see who could take the biggest bites of taco salad, which led to a competition of who had the biggest mouth.




Not sure who won. As you can see they both tried REAL hard. But of course we didn't get a picture of my mouth.

Main concerns

Of a Four year old boy, Benjamin, in the month of December.

Am I on the naughty list today, or the nice list?
How many days till Santa comes?
Jonna turned the Christmas lights on before me!!!!! No fair!
How fast he can put shorts on the moment he gets home from school. It's too hot inside.
Praying for God, Jesus, and Santa everynight. (I believe this is his ploy to stay on the nice list.)
When is the snow going to come?
When is it going to be hot outside again?
When can I ride my bike outside again?
When will it not be dark out so early?
When is Mom going to let me eat Chocolate icecream before dinner? (oops, that is every month)

Between the both of them, Jonna and Ben. I have never been so excited to see them light up on Christmas day!

Pokey

When we had attended Grandpa Joe's recent memorial, Ben dressed up in a suit and tie.

When we arrived at the luncheon, before getting out of the car, Ben, Jake, and I had a conversation.

Ben: Mom, why did some people call me pokey?
Mom: What?
Dad: Some people called you pokey?
Ben: Ya, they said I looked pokey.
Dad: You mean they said you looked "Sharp"?!!
Ben: Ya?!

End of conversation was explaining to Ben that they were complementing him, and synonyms for the word "sharp" used in a sentence.

I love the simple mind of a child.

Because life is fun!


And my husband likes to take jumping pictures as much as I do!!! (insert lots of sarcasm here)
