Have you ever opened up your refridgerator and found something like....

this? No?
I cannot tell you how many times I open that door to discover something with feathers or fur on it wrapped in a trash bag. Yummo!
Have you ever watched the news and seen the little children in middle eastern countries with masks on their faces holding guns? You just shake your head and wonder how those parents could be raising their children that way.
I'm afraid you may feel the same sentiment after viewing some of our family photos.



Levi asked me the other day how much kids cost. I asked him if he meant when they were born or just in general to raise them. He replied, "No, like if you want to sell one. How much money can you get?"
I was chopping up an onion in the kitchen and Levi came in and just stood there, with the onion eye level on the counter, looking at it. After a minute I asked him what he was doing and he said (sounding like he'd been ripped off), "I'm just staring at this onion and it's not making me cry!"
He was very proud that he found a dead moth somewhere in the house. He brought it to me holding it by the wing and said he was glad to find it before Sarah did. A little later I found this on my table in the living room.


Apparantley it is highly entertaining to snip a moth into pieces with your school scissors , and then leave it for you mother to find and clean up.
Jackson wanted to sport a mohawk for a week. We cut it on Saturday before church on Sunday.

Lest you think that Sarah has been behaving herself, I give you this....

She smeared lotion all over her face AND hair as we were on the way out the door somewhere. I am very proud of her, though. She has not had but a handful of accidents since we started pottytraining. It is VERY inconvenient to be away from the house and have her yell, "I gotta go tee tee!!" With the boys, you could just find them a nice shrub or tree. A friend suggested carrying around a little potty in the car. We are going to try that one.



She still likes to do "crazy eyes" for the camera...that girl is a mess!!!
