2011

So here are a few things from 2011 that I wrote down to blog about:

Elizabeth referred to a u-turn as a “we-turn” (because we all were in the van :))

Here are some song lyrics my kids butchered:
instead of "ain't no hollerback girl"
they would sing "ain't no batman girl"

A conversation between Joshua and James:
Joshua: When you grow up are you going to be allergic to dogs and cats?
James: No. Only pigeons.
Joshua: Ok. My city doesn't have any pigeons. Only birds.

And over Christmas break James told me "I need to wake up and smell the starbugs". When I asked him where he heard that he told me his teacher says that :)

Let’s try this again…

So this year my new year's resolution was going to be to not make any new year's resolutions, but then I thought about my blog! I guess this still doesn't have to be a new year's resolution, but something I am going to try really hard to do. I want to write something on my blog at least once a month. That's my goal J

This is a test.

 

This is a test.

some little gems I found...

Over the last week both James and I have been cleaning the computer desk off (yes, it was *that* messy). I came across some notes I had taken on things to blog about. I'm guessing by re-reading these notes that they are from maybe February of this year...better late than never, right? :)

I don't think any of the kids have gotten bitten by any ants, but one of them must have had an ant crawl at them at some point, becuase we went through like a month when ever anyone would have an itch (especailly Elizabeth) she would say, "oh, there's ants on me". One day she was itching her nose and she said, "there's ants in there" When she was done itching I asked her if she was ok she said her favortie phrase of the week: "it's nice and better".

Here's something I caught myself saying that I hope I won't ever have to say again: "Joshua, get off the table and put on your clothes" :)
