Moments That Make Me Smile

Evelyn and Samuel were at the table talking and Evelyn says to Samuel: "Napkins come from paper. Do you know where paper comes from?" Samuel took a second to think and said: "CHINA!"

So, to recap what my kids have taught me: Paper comes from China, and Cotton comes from Wal-Mart...

If you missed the Wal-Mart story, you can read about it here

Moments that Make Me Smile

December 1, 2008 - We were watching PBS Kids, and in between shows, there was a lady who was getting the kids to act like different animals. One of them was a crab. The kids on TV were supposed to "crawl like a crab." Well, it didn't look like crawling to me and Samuel pointed out: "They do the potty dance!"

October 27, 2008 - While I was making lunch, Evelyn, in a hurried and panicked voice, says to me: "MOM: THE SINK IS BURNING!" Turns out that she saw the steam left over from me draining some noodles... No need to panic this time ;)

September 20, 2008 - I ran a few errands today with just Hyrum. When I got home, Samuel - as he's running to me keeps saying Mommy! Mommy! Mommy! - comes up to me and gives me a Big Ol' Hug and says: "Mommy, I missed you so much!" - - It's such a good feeling to know you're loved! - - Then he said: "I was whining lots..." I guess he whined when I left! It 's so wonderful that he's starting to use more complete sentences and even correct how he says words - way to go Samuel!
