Jul. 4, 2007 - Need to laugh?
Do you need to laugh? This is Abbi trying to make us laugh. I am not sure where she got the idea to do that with her face, but it makes us laugh.
*My four year old son was determined to plant the seeds from his apple in the back yard. Daddy went out to support him in his efforts. He then turned to daddy and told him to sit down "so that we can watch it grow", as he propped his hands under his chin and rested his elbows on his knees. (too funny).
*My son was afraid to get into the van last night to go to the airport to pick up daddy. He said, "No, the monsters are out there. They will peel my skin like a white potato." It was so funny. We tried not to laugh because he was very serious. What is the deal about his skin? I have no idea.
*My son wanted dad to do something. My husband was completing some paying of bills online and unable to meet his request. My son responded, "How much do you have to pay?" My husband, with his dry humor smiled and said, "a million dollars". My son unexpectedly said in a very exaggerated upset tone and hand motions with the shoulders going up and down, "oh, that will take all day". It made us laugh.
* My son was upset with baby Abbi. He said to dad, "She drwank my fushy". It was funny to hear him mispronounce slushy. Daddy was having a hard time understanding because he was laughing so hard.
*My daughter came up to me and said, "mom I am becomming just like you. I am spending a lot of time with the Lord reading my bible". It didn't make me laugh, but it brought warm fuzzies to my heart, and a smile on my face. When I feel like I am failing at this mommy job, I just reflect on those words she said this past weekend.
*Zachary prayed "Please help daddy get a new PINK car" (using an excited louder sound with the word PINK). Daddy said, "can we choose a different color?" All the children busted out laughing. Why pink (?).
*Zachary said to me, very excitedly, "Mommy, mommy, I am shrinking and growing." I tried to better understand by asking, "You shrink and grow? You mean that you are growing, not shrinking?"" No, he said, I shrink and I grow".
*The older daughter prayed, "Please put a million dollars in dad's bank account". Okay, that sounds good.
*My 4 year old son ran up to me very excited and said, "Daddy fixed the car it goes verrroooomm!" I wish you could have heard the verrrroooom. He did it with his lips and deep down voicing.
*My 8 year old son, very seriously, handed me and daddy a detailed picture of how to build a house. He then said, "If you build it like this, it'll take you about three to ten days (he,he...too funny).
*Daddy told Zach (4 yr. old) that he needed all his stuffed animals for a camera shoot the next day. Zach took all his stuffed animals, and throwing them down the second flight of stairs, yelled, "fire in the hole".
Zach told daddy, "You have to tell me the truth".
I laughed and inserted, "The truth about what, Zach?"
"If you are going to stay home tomorrow", said Zach.
I looked at my husband who was laughing. "Where does he get this stuff? I asked.
My husband giggling said, "I have no idea".
Zachary tried to turn off the lights when he went into the bathroom to visit daddy while daddy did business in the bathroom. Daddy said, "No Zachary, don't turn off the lights because then I can't see". Zachary said, "Yes, you can", as he turned off the lights. Then Zachary exclaimed, "No, you're right you can't see", as he turned them back on.
Zachary said, "I want to fly on a rocket to go into space, but it will cost me this much money (as he held up his fingers)".
*Have you been to Mrs. Steven's blog? She made me laugh until I cried. It really is funny. You will be really glad that you visited it.
PS Barnes and Noble have a reading program for children to earn a free book-what a great resource from Ruth's blog, Heart of God. Thanks, Ruth!

I use Snapfish; you might find it easier to deal with for pics. Works great for me.
