eating mushrooms

Last night on our way home from Life group we saw a
Lifeflight Helicopter landing at the hospital. So we
decided to stop and watch for a learning experience
with the kids. We watched as the pilot, EMTs and a
doctor and a nurse lifted an old man on oxygen onto a
gurney and wheeled him into the hospital. We were all
speculating as to what could be wrong with him. After
several guesses.......heart attack, COPD...etc, Jude
said, "I think he ate a mushroom."

Jude's gymnastics skills

When John and Liesel were talking about the
appropriate time to use her karate skills...(if her
boyfriend was mistreating her and she might have to
use a karate kick or punch). Jude was listening to
this conversation and he replied, "Yeah, and if my
girlfriend is mean to me I'll just do gymnastics on her!"

albino plants

Today we learned that in autumn, the trees stop making
chlorophyll or food, so the "green" of the leaves
disappear, making the leaves slowly die and leaving
behind the existing orange and red and yellow colors.
Simeon asked me if there are such a thing as albino
plants......I don't know....are there albino plants?

the milk machine

Tonight we stopped at Walmart to get some milk. Jude
said, "Mommy just use the milk machine" (the breast
pump). He must think there is an endless supply there.

lost cell phone

We spent all last Saturday looking for John's cell
phone. We had the kids looking and even offered a
bribe to whoever found it. The whole time we were
looking for the cell phone, I kept wondering what the
thump-thump-thump-thumping sound was that was coming
from the dryer. Guess what! The cell phone was ruined
in the dryer!

Simeon is sad

Simeon asked me this morning why we have to grow up?
Expecting him to say he just loves the fun of being a
kid and not wanting the responsibility of being a
grown up, I asked him why he didn't want to grow up.
He answered, "Because when you grow up you have to get
married and move far away from your parents, and I
just want to live here forever".

up dad's sleeve

Yesterday I told the kids to hurry up and get ready
because Dad had "something up his sleeve for tonight".
After driving out to Ft. Gibson Lake, having hot dogs
and marshmallows over the fire, watching the sunset,
the stars, satellites, Liesel asked, "Dad can we have
our prize now?" Dad said, "What prize?" She said "The
one you have in your sleeve"!
