Funny Faces and Hungry Tummies

The second I started putting dinner on the table, Punk #5 climbed right up on the chair. He was so excited that he started to give me his “smile”.

He is so funny when I get the camera out.

He gives me these funny poses,
and goofy smiles.

He thinks he is so cute!

She is a Thinker


My 9 year old is becoming quite the thinker.

Friday is my cleaning day, usually punk #1 has a hard time getting her jobs done. Friday she did really well, stayed on task and worked quickly.

After she was done she said “Mom I know why it is important for kids to clean.”

“Why,” I asked

“So when the kids grow up and have houses of their own to keep clean we will have developed good cleaning strategies.”

****

A few days ago she said to Dadzoo

“Life is a test, and repentance is like correcting the mistakes we make on our test.”

“Yes, that is exactly right,” Dadzoo said.

Then she said “Isn’t that nice of Heavenly Father to let us do that.”

Yes, it sure it

That is my 9 year old,

The Thinker.

Rude

Punk #3 was reading a book with Dadzoo tonight.It was about Predators.

Dadzoo asked punk #3 if she knew what a predator was.

She said “Oh yes, they are animals that are really rude to other animals.”

 

I guess you could say that!

Brains, Blood and Hearing Voices

Punk #4 is in that stage where kids say the funniest things. She is 4 and a half and is really trying to figure this world out

Good luck kid

Figuring the world out….

Anyway

Yesterday I was in the bathroom doing her hair for school. The girls tell me all sorts of things in the morning while I am combing and curling and fluffing their hair, I think it is because they know they have a captive audience. As I was putting an elaborate pony tail thingy in her hair she announces that she knows why Sarah (her older sister) had blood coming out of her foot (Sarah had a toe nail that got caught on something and started bleeding the day before.) Here is our conversation:

“Mama I knowed why Sawa had blood comin‘ outta her foot.”

“Why?”

“‘Cause she’d have too much blood in her foot and it leakeded out….knowed how I knoweddat?”

“No, how?”

“Cause I berry smart, I hab a gweat big bwrain in my head….it knowed lots of stuff.”


Later that day she was throwing a major, major fit, and I trying to be a loving Christ-like mother said to her, very calmly:

“Honey, is this how Heavenly Father would like you to talk to me?”

In total exasperation, with her face red and hair flying she throws up her arms and yells

 “I not knowed what He said, He not talked to me! I not heaw His boice!”

I couldn’t stop laughing!
