A few funnies ...

I know it's been forever since I posted pictures or a layout ... not much to take pictures of when the house is diseased and everyone looks terrible (although I did take a few pictures to use on a "sick" layout)!! Hopefully we can get back in our groove. Just when I thought we'd seen the light at the end of the VERY LONG sick tunnel I've got kids with snotty noses, coughs, and complaints or sore ears again!!! Will it never end?! Sounds to me like we need a vacation to air this place out ;)

Just had to share a couple of kid funnies from this past week. Ashton brought home some papers from school that made me laugh so I had to make sure to record them for posterity. The first was a little booklet entitled "If I Were President." This, of course, was in honor of President's Day. Her booklet read like this (all spelling left intact):
If I were President, the first thing I would do is eat a bowl of ice cream sundays. (my kinda girl)
If I were President, I would eat apples.
If I were President, I would travel to New York Citey.
If I were President, I would have a pet hampstr named president hampstr. (very original, no?)
Comments: I wud make black peple and white peple go to the same school. (obviously my daughter has seen "Hairspray" more than enough times with explanations on segregation)

And of course, the "Steve" in her comes through in this next writing example. The assignment was to write one "super sentence" describing who did what, when, and where. Here is what she came up with:

The stinky pig toots on the farm at lunch.

I couldn't help myself when I read it .... I think I remember Steve giving her high 5's for that one. What must her teacher think?! Actually, her teacher knows us pretty well at this point so I'm sure it came as no surprise ;)

One last funny - Kendyl loves to say our family prayer in the morning before the girls head off to school. It's pretty much the same most days ... bless Brinley, Ashton, and Kendyl to have a good day at school (on the days she goes to school), bless Daddy to have a good day at work, help Mommy and Cougar run around the house all day ... WHAT?! Apparently I'm always running around the house in her eyes. It makes me smile every time she says it. At least she thinks I'm staying busy ;) If only I could be as productive as she makes me sound!!

Promises for some sort of layout within days ... I'm ITCHING to get some scrapping done!!!
