KID FUNNIES

Just a few funnies from the kids...

-To dream the impossible Dream -
Adam took my car in to have the oil changed and took Harrison with him - they call it "boy time". As they were waiting, Harrison noticed the pit underneath the car and asked Adam what it was. Adam told him the guys worked down there to change the oil and fix cars. Harrison's reply.."I totally want to do that - I want that for my job when I grow-up! That's awesome!!" Reach for the stars, Harrison!

- Caught in the Act...almost-
I have always been amazed at how well Harrison's sense of smell is. He is the one you don't want to be around when you "slip" out an unmentionable in public (there's a whole bunch of stories to tell from that alone!!) and he's the first to track out smells in stores etc. Today we had to venture out to the store. Usually I bring along a snack for the kids to eat but hadn't today because it was getting too close to dinner. However, I had brought along a snack (a few Reese's pb cups) for myself, hoping to eat it without being caught. I should have known better with Harrison in the car...before long I hear Harrison sniffing at the air...

Harrison: "What is that smell? It smells good in here!"

Me: "What do you mean? What does it smell like?"

Harrison: "It smells like Peanut Butter?!?"

I could not believe it! I had to turn up the radio and quietly tuck the wrapper under my leg so I wouldn't get caught by my own kids!!


- Personal Trainer -
Adam and I are trying to get ourselves back in shape. Adam usually gets up and does a little bit of weight lifting and then some eliptical. The other morning he had told the kids he was going downstairs to exercise and Kenna said, "I'll be the one at the top of the exerciser saying, 'You do not stop!! You keep going!'..mom watches that show all the time!" (I'm assuming she was referring to Biggest Loser)

- Deep Thoughts -
(This one is cute...but also sad at the same time)
I find it interesting how much kids want to talk while driving in the car...sometimes I enjoy it and others I do not. However, yesterday I decided to be 100% committed to the conversation on our drive to dance class. McKenna decided to ask a few questions about - daylight savings time change?!? Her question was very thoughtful..."Mom, how come the people just ask to have the daylight be longer and Heavenly Father does it, but we ask for Josh back and He can't just bring him back?" Gosh, I thought it was going to be hard to explain the whole daylight savings time thing... we all miss Josh very much and only wish it were possible to have him back with us here!
