Cook Book

A few weeks ago Sebastian came home with a recipe card that needed to be filled out with a favorite holiday recipe. We filled it out and sent it back to school excited to get the book for Christmas. He left his backpack at school yesterday so we brought it home last night after the Christmas program (which will get it's own post later). In the rush of getting every one in bed I didn't check his pack until this morning. I was excited to look through it but had to get to school and then help with his party this morning. Mrs. Amanda pulls me aside and asked if I had read Sebastian's entry in the cook book. During school they asked each child for a favorite dish and instructions; they then typed up what they said and included it in the recipe book. Of course now I'm dying because I never know what she's going to tell me when I pick him up. She hands me an extra copy and I read:

Student: Sebastian
Favorite food: Roast beef (news to me)
Instructions: Mix hot chicken, roast pickles and hot chocolate. Cook it for 10 minutes. You have to put it outside of your house to cool off. When you bring it inside you have to dust off the snow because we're humans and we don't eat snow.

Apparently the explanation continued but each child had a limited amount of space. At least I don't have to explain when we're in Utah that we don't eat snow because it's nasty... he's got that down!

makes me happy...

Mom: Buddy, do you believe in Santa Clause?

Buddy: I think I believe in Jesus.

I'm grateful for the tender heart of a 4 year old that understands what the Christmas season truly means. Of course he "still wants Santa to come visit".

25 random things about Aunt L'J

In her words....
#21: I had tickets to see Michael Jackson on September 21st in London, I was rather sad to hear that he had passed...luckily I have amazing family and friends who were there for me. My 4 year old nephew saw my belt buckle which is a picture of MJ and asked what happened to him, he then said said "I'm sorry you are sad, at least he is with Jesus now but I'm sorry for your loss" yes my 4 year old nephew speaks like that...he is adorable

That 4 year old would be our son. Adorable and a handful!! ;-) What a combination!

Ouch!

I love when this....

Looks like this in less than 10 hours!

Kenz was running through the house and caught the corner of an open chest of drawers with her noggin. The scream ended quickly... almost as quickly as the swelling began. I didn't realize a bump could swell so much and so rapidly. Maybe she has a little of her Uncle Matt (aka Wolverine) in her. The human body is an amazing thing!

First day of school!

We hadn't planned on lil' man going to school this year. So when they called a couple of weeks ago and said he'd cleared the wait list we decided to try it and see how it went. Apparently, he's much more prepared than we are! He loves his teacher and couldn't be more excited to go.

This looks staged, I know. He was trying to climb the tree but his new shoes got stuck.

There was a short pause at the door but as soon as he saw the race track he was on his way.

Pumpkin just wanted to know "where bashion go?". He wasn't in Wal-mart or at the house and he definitely wasn't in his car seat (we checked!).

OK, so It's only pre-k. In my mind he's starting his senior year! I can't believe how quickly 4 years have gone. We're so proud of you buddy. You make us laugh each day and bring such joy to our home. We love you!

all in a days work...
