Treasure Hunt

Yesterday, our friends...Elaine and Ella came to the door, they were on a walk. We decided to go on a walk with them.....we call our walks "treasure hunts". We take a small ziploc container with us b/c you NEVER quite know what you will find (snails, rocks, rolly polly's, etc).

Anyway, as we were walking, Kaitlyn, Ryan and Ella SQUEAL with excitement. Elaine and I look up in the sky and there are 2 planes leaving a "tail" behind them. (you know how that looks). Kaitlyn says, "Look, it looks like they are making a cross (as the 2 planes make a cross). " Kaitlyn continues to say, "This reminds me of Jesus"....then those tails start to fade away and there is 1 plane headed in a "downward" direction making a trail behind him (hope you are following this). Kaitlyn then says, "Look Mommy, they are reminding us that Jesus died on the cross for us, and now it is a tear drop, it reminds us that Jesus died and there is a tear!"

WOW! To think she is only 5......she is SO wise beyond her years!!

TOO long again

Okay, it has been WAY too long again...my days on the computer are now spent "googling" Chiari for Anderson.

Anyway, today on the way home from school...Kaitlyn said some of the cutest things. She was telling me about her day and she said, "Mommy, some of the kids in class were not using their manners. Jesus would not be happy with the choices they were making. They need to find Jesus in their hearts and make better choices". WAY TO GO KAITLYN! SO cute!!

Santa smarter

Kaitlyn asks : Mommy, who is smarter...Santa or Mommy and Daddys?

CUTE!

SNOW IS WHITE

Everyday Kaitlyn dresses herself. I have to say, she does quite a great job. Sometimes it gets a little "wild", but for the most part, just great. Well, last week, she got dressed for school wearing a pink and white skirt, white shirt, white socks, etc. She wanted to wear her WHITE SHOES with the outfit. (For those not checking, it is WAY past Labor Day!) I tell her that white shoes are not meant to be worn in the winter, those shoes are Easter shoes, and we wear them in the Spring Time.....winter we wear black. Kaitlyn looks right at me ands says, "But Mom, SNOW is WHITE, I do not understand WHY I can't wear WHITE shoes in winter time".

Well, then Kaitlyn, you have made a very VALID point...go ahead, wear your WHITE shoes to school today ;)

1st Pukes

Okay, I have been VERY behind on my blog. LOTS and LOTS of great stories to catch up on. The 1st for tonight is our day today. Whew. Poor little Anderson. His 1st stomach flu. Poor honey woke up from a morning nap with it all over his bed and himself. then, continued about 6-7 more times. Finally went back down for another nap, and woke up ready to go and ready to eat. Had to be careful what we fed him. Funny how a 16 mo does not understand that ;)

Note that Kaitlyn was over 3 before she had her first pukes. Ryan TO DATE has NEVER puked!! WHEW! LUCKY
