Little bits of Life

A few things I want to remember from the past week...

I don't remember the first part of the conversation but at dinner Hayes had to go check if it was dark outside. (Probably to see if it really was bedtime.) He looked out the window and said "Yep, it's eighty-six-five pounds of dark!!"

Some questions from Kamri the other day:
"Do turtles have tails?"

"Do Spiders have noses?"

"Do ants have hands?"
(so do spiders have noses?? I'm kinda doubting it...)

Hayes is really into writing things lately and asks me how to spell things. When he's done with one letter he'll ask "What next?" if I'm not fast enough with the next letter. Kamri, always wanting to be just as big as her brother, will now sit and doodle with a pen and randomly ask me what's next. She makes these little tiny doodles that looks like some kind of foreign language. (she also wanted to label her cousin Izen's present we wrapped tonight and her "writing" looks like she wrote "Poop". I think Izen will love that...)

Kamri saw a little pink lip gloss at JoAnn's the other day and really wanted it. I bought it for her and she carried it around everywhere for two weeks, wouldn't go to sleep without it. We left it at Mimi's after thanksgiving but luckily i found another pink lipgloss I got for free with some makeup. She still carries it around and is currently sleeping with it, along with a little bottle of nail polish our friend just sent her and Bracken's old cell phone.

Looked in her purse today that she took to the store and park...a snack bag, a pen, old cell phone, lip gloss, piece of paper. This girl is prepared.

Two mornings ago I gave Hayes an old notebook i found and he sat by the Christmas tree with the letter blocks (that have pictures of things that start with that letter) and he was writing some lists. (he LOVES lists). He told me he was writing a list for a party, a boys party, and a girls party. He also kept telling me we NEED to go to the store to get grapes for the party.


The blocks have the name below the picture (he doesn't know how to spell all these words)(this was his list for the party: Hats, Bat, Grapes, Fishes, Sun, Pears, Cheese, No Mouse (told me he didn't want a mouse sneaking up on them), Ice Cream. blocks only give him so many words to work with so i liked his creativity to put no in front of mouse. I also didn't notice until I put the picture on the computer that he marked off everything that we already had at home....glad he someone knows we have no mice! This is for the boy party: boy, ball, hat, kicks...and then i think he was starting to make a list of who to invite but he only knows how to spell one of his friend's names.

Girls party : Doll, Girl, Necklacess
