Mush

Mia was eating some "Cinnamon Roll Oatmeal" this morning. She leaned over it and inhaled. Mia said, "It just smells so good! Too bad it tastes like brown mush."

Color Vision

We recently went on a Ward Camp out where we watched a black and white movie.

When Mia found out it was black and white, she said, "We have to watch a movie and there aren't even any colors in it!" Then she huffed away.

I was sitting next to Jared during the movie and he leaned over and told me, "I like to watch movies in black and white because then I can put my own colors in."

Schreecher Teacher

Ellis has started to yell at the slightest provocation. Today I asked him (rhetorically), "Ellis, where did you learn to yell like that?" He replied, "When I was a baby, I had a teacher, and she taught me to yell like this. AAAAAAAHHHH!!!"

Claws

The other day I trimmed Mia's fingernails. She wasn't thrilled and told me, "But Mom. I need my claws!"

First Day of School

Monday Gordon had his first day of school. When I went to pick him up, he was really grouchy. He got in the car and said, "I'm starvin'. I'm starvin' from all that learnin'!"

Conditioner

We have been in swimming lessons. Mia has a swim cap that she wears to swimming lessons to protect her hair. I get her hair wet and then put the conditioner on. I then put it in a ponytail and put the cap on.

On the way to the pool Mia was asking me what the conditioner did for her hair. I told her that it would make it soft, protect it from the chlorine in the pool and keep it from getting tangled.

Gordon processed it for a while and then said, "Mom will you turn on the air conditioner?"

I said, "Sure. I am surprised that you are too warm." (It was 7:30 AM)

Gord said, "I want my hair to be soft."

Just Like Daddy

The kids were playing "LIFE" the other day and Gordon kept getting 10's. If you are familiar with the game, you will know that if you spin a 10 you have to pay a speeding ticket. Jared made a comment about all the speeding tickets Gordon was having to pay and Gordon said, "Yeah. I want to be like Daddy!"
