Alex

I set a timer to help motivate the kids to hurry and clean their
rooms.

I asked how long they thought it would take, Alex said "Forever!"

The timer idea ended up working really well.

After the cleaning was over, Alex came to me and said something
completely unrelated,

Remember noses have little holes so the boogers and runny noses can
get out.

This doesn't work, Alex said pointing to his nose. He has a cold.

This doesn't work, Alex said pointing to his nose. He has a cold.

I'll say the prayer, but I don't know how to say the blessing.

Baylee: "Goo..."

Abby: "It's tastes a little bad, but yum a lot."

Alex: "It's a lot of yum to me"

Tell daddy what we made

Hot dog pigs

Pigs in a blanket

Baylee held each one up to her face.

We found where Baylee colored on the wall. Melinda asked her who did
it. She said Alex.

No, it wasn't Alex. You did it.

No

Again

Are you telling a lie?

Yeah.

Dad, I love you, but I will still have to find a girl to marry.

Dad, I love you, but I will still have to find a girl to marry.

I told him that he could find a girl after he got home from his mission.

He said that he didn't want to live far away.

I told him that when he was older, even if he lived far away he would
have a cat so he could drive to come and see us.

He wondered how he could buy a car.

I said that when he was older he would have a job and would make money
and could buy things.

Talk about the long view on life, he's still only 4.

Game Overload?

We got a game box for Christmas that includes checkers, Go Fish, Bingo, a matching game, etc.

Melinda and I have spent some time teaching and playing the new games with the kids.

While playing "Go Fish", Melinda asked Abby for a card. She checked and said she didn't have it.

"So, what do you say?" Melinda asked.

She paused for a second and then said "Bingo!"

We all thought it was so funny, but Abby was a little embarrassed about getting it wrong.

We have played Go Fish since and Alex still thinks we should still say Bingo and laughs about it every time.
