Last night I was doing homework with Hallie. Let me just say that it is not the easiest thing to do. She for some reason does not like doing homework and throws much fit about it. It usually ends up with Mom frustrated and Hallie crying. Last night was no different. She had to read a book and then answer questions about it, then write 3 of her own sentences. Here goes:
M: What do you want your 1st sentence to say?
H: "We like to play hide and seek together."
M: Ok, sound it out and then write it down.
H: How do you write "play"?
M: sound it out
H: p...l.....a.....ummmm.
M: Kindof a hard one, there is a y at the end of it.
H: y and then e
M: no there is no e at the end of it.
H: yes there is Mom, my teacher told me there was an e at the end of play.
M: Nope, I am pretty sure that I know how to spell play. Hey dad, how do you spell play?
D: P..L..A..Y
H: well, you are both wrong cause my teacher is way smarter than both of you and she told me it has an e at the end.
M: ok, write it down.
And then Annie's conversation the other night! We put them to bed and then 5 minutes later they both come walking into the kitchen:
H: I just came down to get my teddy bear.
A: and I just came down for nothing. (big smile!)
The other night Natalie sneezed a couple times and I hear from the other room from Annie "Mom, Nat just lessed youed!" She calls her sneezes lessed yous! Guess it comes from us saying bless you after she sneezes.
And Barry has just been screaming during all of this!

That is great! We don't know anything either and we can't advise anything with Cole needing to run it by his teacher.
They are so cute and I really hope that one day we can see each other again.
Bree, you'd be so proud. I have signed up for another RAGNAR type run only it is EPIC. The run is from Logan to the Tetons. I sure wish I could have to train with!
Sounds EXACTLY like a story my parents still tease me about!! I'll have to tell them this one, they'll LOVE it!! Being a parent is so hard, but can be funny at the same time! Makes me smile!
all of these just make me laugh - i really like your kids
