As the kids are getting older they are really saying some funny things. This morning I was cracking up. I wanted to jot some of these things down before I forget. I gave the boys grapes for breakfast. I walked into the kitchen to find the boys smashing the grapes. In unison they yelled, "Mom, we are making wine!" Oh my! I told Jeff I really hope they are trying to be like Jesus and not Mommy. I couldn't stop laughing. How could I be upset about smashed grapes?!
Last night I was reading in bed. The whole family was sound asleep. (btw, reading Dave Ramsey's Entreleadership and it is awesome!) Without opening his eyes Jeff yells, "Get out the kitchen....NOW!" Geez, even in his sleep he is disciplining the kids. I didn't even wake him to let him know he was sleeping...and so were the kids.
I was dropping the kids off at school this morning. Jonah says from the backseat, "I am going to pop this door open like a soda can!" He says it with so much enthusiasm. This is a quote from the movie Rio. Jonah has had strep throat for the last two days. He has spent all that time watching Rio over and over again. Literally when the credits begin to roll at the end it starts it over again. It is his favorite. Jonah makes me laugh so much. You never really know when he loves something or not. His expression never changes. When Jackson or Jacob (or typically anyone else) love or enjoy something they get excited, smile or sing along. Not Jonah. He has such a poker face. He never really likes music. Me and the other kids love playing music and singing along. Jonah just gets so annoyed. The other day we were listening to Jason Aldeans song 'The only way I know'. When the song ended Jonah yelled, "play it again!" I was so excited. If you listen to the lyrics it is so Jonah. Jonah is all about working hard. I recently overheard him call his boss on his phone. He said, "Boss, I gotta go to school tomorrow. So, I need the day off. Is that okay? Okay. I be back at work later." Yesterday I caught him with a screw driver trying to disassemble his bunk bed.
Right now I have to go make necklaces with Juliet. She said, "Mommy, today you only play with me!" I think she was ready for Jonah to go back to school.
