My kids say the craziest things...

The converstions were very short, but went like this -

Jayce: "Mom, did you know we have a Butt at school?"

Me: "oh"   (Pause waiting to hear where this was going)

Jayce: "Yeah, BUT-ler Hall"   (It's the name of the fellowship hall at their school, a large empty room, where they play if the playground isn't available due to weather)

Not sure if he learned anything else at school today, BUT he's recognizing different syllables :) 

Blogs are better with pictures! Jayce's spider face, unfortunately I never have the camera with me, so I always have to wait til we get home, so it is a little smeared.

Jayce also told me today that his friend Landon wasn't there, so he played with his other friend Corbin. 

Jayce: "Corbin always tries to get me to play basketball, but I tell him I don't have time for basketball."

Jaeden: "Because you're too busy chasing girls."

Jayce: "Yeah, I'm too busy chasing girls."



Jaeden frequently tells us that he's going to marry Kate, a little girl in his class at church.
Tonight I was preparing the next article of faith for them to learn.  I have them all written out with pictures, since neither of them actually read yet.  Jaeden tells me, "I'm going to do this with my kids. Kate's kids so they can learn their articles of faith." 
I wonder how long this will last, since he's been telling us this for at least 6-9 months!

Jaeden chose the closest thing to a vampire!

Of course, Jaxon isn't really talking yet, but he's the resident bully.  Don't even think of sitting on his little rocking horse, or he'll pull you off by grabbing the front of your shirt!!  which is done frequently to Jaeden and Jayce. 
  
This was the perfect shirt for months!!!! "Watch Out I Bite"  
He finally stopped biting me about 1 month ago, and it's been very nice!!!!
