The kids were dragging their feet in getting ready for school this morning--as usual. They were all ready except for putting on their snow clothes ten minutes before it was time to leave. They left the house five minutes late.
When Tyce looked up at the clock and noticed the time, he said, "We'll have to run to get to school." Or something to that effect.
Nathan replied, "Pretty lively for a man your age. 30 years old. Pretty lively."
Luckily for him, Dad was preoccupied and didn't hear.

My Husband (& me)
My Beauties
Nathan, Katie & Ivy quotes small enough to fit in the sidebar
Ivy (after church): Guess what!!
Dad: What?
Ivy: Rich Blessings are in stores!
Dad: This is good country music, right?
Kids nod or give some sign of assent.
Dad: You know some people don't like country music.
Nathan, thoughtfully: Oh, is that why they made cities?
Nathan to Dad: "Pretty lively for a man your age. 30 years old. Pretty lively."
Nathan: "...great, great, great, great Grandpa. He's so old, he died already!"
Nathan: "That smells like Grandpa Shepherd!"
Mom: "What smell?"
Nathan: "That smell! You know, hair...whitish...oldish..."
Nathan: "What would you like, sir?"
Katie: "Water and cake."
Nathan: "We only have water. That's the problem."
Katie: "Oh... I just want cake then."
Katie (as Nathan & Dad are wrestling on the living room floor): I'm going to go wrestle with the boys. Hi-ya! (She said the last as she dived head first into the mix.)
Katie tends to add consonants to words that end in vowels. My favorites: shampoop & tu-tut (you know, tutu with a t).
Nathan: Mom, why does "shampoo" have the word "pooh" in it?
Mom: Nathan, do you want me to listen while you say your prayers or do you want to say them after I go?
Nathan: All this answering is giving me a crick in the neck!
Nathan: What are you doing?
Dad: Making bagels.
Nathan: You don't know how to make bagels.
Dad: Yes, I do.
Nathan: Do you have a recipe?
Dad: Yes.
Nathan: Hey, what's the bagel idea?!
Dad: If you get burned badly enough, you can die.
Nathan: Did you get burned badly enough and die?
Dad, in an ironic tone: Did I die?
Nathan: Well, did ya?
I was playing with Nathan & Katie and pretending to be their sister. A little while into playing, Nathan decided that I would be "Emily," then said, "Hi, Emily--girl that I was going to marry. I'm sorry I can't marry you now that you're my sister."
During Nathan's nightly prayer:
"Help me to love Mommy as much as you do."
During the Macy's Thanksgiving parade, Nathan saw a balloon of Spongebob and called out, "Spongebob Cheesepants!"
Later, we saw Snoopy. This time he called out, "Snowplow!...uh, what's his name?"
Nathan: "Stuffed animals chase bad dreams away. Didn't you know that?"
Katie, making the sound of a doorbell: "Ping-pong."
Usually, it's not so much what Katie says, but how she says it. Like a little mimic--or, more appropriately, a little mommy. My own mini-me. Gushing: "I so happy to see you!" Stern: "Nathan!" Sweet: "Hi, gorgeous!"
Dad: What?
Ivy: Rich Blessings are in stores!
Dad: This is good country music, right?
Kids nod or give some sign of assent.
Dad: You know some people don't like country music.

About Me
- Penelope
- I love words--the play of words off each other, word games, the right words in just the right order (poetry)--I'm just too dang shy to use them. I'm a mother of 4 with an amazing husband who is more of a supermom than I am. And if you're up for games tonight, we are.
