Life As We Know It: Day 5: Pictures of Things that Make Me Happy

Tony-isms

Tony: (discussing what they learned at church on Easter Sunday) Mom, at Easter, Jesus died on the crosswalk. You can call it a cross if you want, but I'm calling it a crosswalk.
Tony: (while eating canned mandarin oranges) Can you please leave me alone for a minute? I've got a lot of slurping to do here.
I wasn't home the other night to tuck Tony P. in to bed, and the next morning I told him I had missed our tuck in. Convinced I was wrong, he spent about 5 minutes trying to convince me that I was actually there. When he finally realized that I had, in fact, not tucked him in, he said, "Wow. I can't believe I was wrong!" Guess who's never wrong at our house?
Tony's primary teacher: If you sit on this egg (made out of paper) for all of sharing time, it will hatch and a prize will come out. Tony: That egg is made out of paper, so nothing is going to hatch out of it. Primary teacher: It's a magic egg - you can use your imagination. Tony: I know it's not magic. It's made of paper.
Tony: (Sobbing because everyone has gone to bed & he has no one to cuddle) "I don't want to sleep with my stuffed animal, because he doesn't cuddle right. I want to cuddle with an actual human."
Tony: Mom, I need a baby sister because everyone else has one. Me: If you have a baby sister, then you wouldn't get to cuddle me quite so much. Tony: Actually, I'm allergic to babies.
"Mom, I learned a new song. It goes "I Am A Child Of God" (sung to the tune of "Nuttin' for Christmas")

This was my favorite assignment so far. Here we go, in no particular order:

Children sleeping

Children singing

This guy

These goofy kids

These (worn at least 12 hours out of every day)

I love this little thing you're doing. I love your pictures and getting to learn more about you! Not that I don't already know you.....

Yoga pants make me very happy too! Aren't they just the best?

Hi Lor, Jeff and I are faithful readers so keep it up - we love seeing pictures of your kids. You always have so much on the go - I feel like a slacker! One last thing - after reading one of your posts, we were debating how tall you are. I don't remember you being a giant but maybe it's because I'm tall too so how tall are you? Thanks for helping us resolve our dispute, Jessica Pratt

I'm glad you didn't stop! It was fun to read 3 posts at once. If I had a picture of your children's choir I would have added that to my list. It makes me so happy to listen to them. I also loved your post on your family. I hate distance between family members. Thankfully there was the invention of the telephone!
