Quote of the Day, part XLIV

Me, during Family Home Evening: "How can we repent of 'persecuting your brother'?"
William: "Pick me! I just barely did it!"

Jacob, when I showed him the twin coverlet I had purchased for his bed right before we moved:
"I like that. Whoa, wait! Are we really going to get beds that big?"
Me, thinking that this boy has been sleeping on a camping cot on the floor for entirely too long.
This move didn't come a day too early!

Things to Remember

These are a few things I ought to remember when I'm feeling tired:

1. It's fun to have late-night girl parties. I really ought to live it up and bring food for myself too!
2. Grocery shopping with a grumpy pirate with a back pack is so much more effective. Customer service is remarkably prompt, especially when screaming is involved. 3. I still have half an apple tree.

4. Crawdads are a great birthday present for Isaac to give Jacob (even if they did spill river water everywhere, and they stink).


I'm sure I'll think of some more when I'm not so tired...

Always a good idea to count your blessings :)

Your kids are awesome, and so cute. I think I have said this before...oh well.

I am very sorry about Ruthie. :) We just planted a little apple tree in our yard...hopefully it survives hurricane season!

A sign of a good mother is that she allows the crawdads from the river into the house...I am, by this definition, not a good mother.
