Do I cook?

I was making pigs in a blanket with Chase today-- it's one of my boys favorite lunches- and Chase kept smashing them together on the cookie sheet saying, "I want them together!" I tried explaining that they need to be spread out, so I used something he would understand.

Me: You know how you hate people sleeping on your bed with you?
Chase: Ya.
Me: It's because you need your space. These little smokies need their space too, so they can cook.
Chase: (thinks for a minute) Do I cook?

Well, I tried.

Love this.

I found this new quote that I love on the blog: memoriesoncloverlane.com. Thought I'd share.

The best things in life are nearest:

Breath in your nostrils,

light in your eyes,

flowers at your feet,

duties at your hand,

the path of right just before you.

Then do not grasp at the stars,

but do life's plain, common work as it comes,

certain that daily duties and daily bread

 are the sweetest things in life.

First day of Kindergarten!

Ethan had his first day of Kindergarten on Wednesday!! The first 2 days were half days and today is the first full day. Yes they have full day kindergarten here, which I don't like. A 5 year old at school for 8 hours? Really? Anyway...

He had a great first day! He rides the bus with about 8 of his friends from our Branch who all live in our neighborhood, its pretty fun and it makes it easier for him to want to go. We met his teacher, Mrs. Cooley, on Monday at the open house and we really like her! He seemed to have a good time, and came home asking to use "the restroom" haha I don't think he's ever said that before. 

Ethan and his best friend, Anna

Can I get a ride?

Bye Ethan! Chase is going to miss you a ton!!

Hailey Pictures

Hailey is 9 months! I had my friend Nicole take some pictures of Hailey and they turned out way cute. She does such a great job, and I think Hailey had fun doing it :)
