Maddie (almost 12) and ever the creative one, decorated this cake for Family Home Evening. It features a man lying in a pool of blood. The title of the cake is "Dead." Probably no accident that this cake is for FHE, as that is what they will all be if they don't BEHAVE!! (We believe in the "scared straight" method for Family Night.)
Sam (almost 10) rockin' out (wearing space jammies). He certainly has the hair to be in a rock band. Sam, ever the comedian he makes us laugh in so many ways. His latest joke:
There is this girl walking down the beach. She sees a lamp. Well, in all the stories there is always a genie in a lamp so she rubs the lamp. A genie pops out and grants her three wishes. Her first wish is to be 10 times smarter than she is right now. The genie grants her wish. Her second wish is to be 100 times smarter than she is right now. The genie grants that wish. Her third wish is to be 1,000 times smarter than she is right now. "Poof "she turns into a boy.
Needless to say, Sam's three sisters don't really like that joke.
Anna (almost 8). A friend told me they want have Anna over to their house more often because she is FUNNY! Of course we already knew that. Seems we are raising a family of jokers. (Can't imagine where they get from??) Anna is getting baptized on April 11th.
Eleanor (6 in November) will be starting kindergarten in August. When I asked her what I was going to do all day while she was gone she said "You will sit by the window and wait for me to come home." Probably true.
