They’ve been on a roll again. And I’ve actually remembered to write a few down.
To the left, KJ and Cbug love to play pretend together. After I showed them how, they made no less than 27 eye patches. Because, as I’m sure you know, if two are great then 27 would be better. They only stopped there because they ran out of pipecleaners. So, they had to move on to actually playing pirates. Nearly everything they pretend leads to wrestling each other to the ground. Is this normal?
This isn’t really something KJ said, but I’ll throw it in here anyway. I think the title “family-fun-homework” is a bit of a misnomer. I’m not sure how it can really be FUN. I tried. Really I did. But when I’m a realist to the nth degree, and the directions are to create a “self-portrait” and he wants it to look like this… Its just not fun for me. I’m learning. Really, I am. I mean, I let him do it. That’s huge. So, Here is KJ. See the resemblance?
Lou also LOVES to read to her babydolls. She props them up and turns the book one-handed-teacher-style toward them while she “reads it”. A few nights ago, she was sitting on the stairs reading Cinderella to them- one of her favorite princesses. In her most serious teacher voice she told them to “listen carefully to the story of Cinderella…dressed in yellow…going upstairs to kiss a snake. But HOW many doctors would it take?” Um, yeah.We also had quite a conversation about the groom getting “adopted” by the brides parents at the wedding he was in. But I’ll save that for another post.
Cbug, apparently, has already named his (future) five children. And his monologue to us at dinner went something like this:
“The first will be Moses.
And then Mary.
and I’m going to pray that God gives me them together so they can be twins.
Next will be Joseph.
And last, Adam and Eve.
I know they were the first people ever created. But they can be born after me, too.”
And later when RRL asked about the twins, Cbug said “Yeah, but I’m going to be the daddy. So I’m going to be praying for God to give the mother twins for me” Oh, Heaven help his sweet wife! He’s making me take the parent’s prayer for future spouses to a whole new level.
That’s it for September, folks. Can’t wait to see what comes out of their mouths this month!
