Funny Stories Per Child

Here are 4 stories that happened the last couple of weeks in our house.

Colin

A couple of weeks ago Colin sang with his class at church. When church was over I asked Colin if he knew which little boy in his class sang really loud and had such a beautiful voice. You could hear every word he sang. I went through all the boys names in his class wondering who had such a beautiful voice. He told me he didn't know who it was. So, Wednesday night Colin's class is going to be singing for the church. That night while I' m making dinner Colin asked me if I wanted to hear him sing. So I listen to him and he sounds good. That night I went to church by myself which was nice not to worry about any of the kids. Middle of the service his class sings and they're in the back balcony. I could hear Colin sing but to tell you the truth it sounded like it was between shouting and singing. I sat there with the biggest grin on my face and I almost burst into laughter it was hilarious. When I met Colin in the class room to pick him up he said "I need a drink my throat hurts so bad from singing". I told him they did a wonderful job. He also asked if I heard him. I said yes. Note to self keep comments to myself. Colin made a truck for his Art Fair at his school. Made out of a box and what else tape. Pretty cool.

Noah

Noah always says some of the funniest things. This morning Noah had left the house forgetting something. So, I ran it out to him on the bus. His bus driver is very nice and she always has a funny story with Noah. She told me once she over heard him telling a child sitting next to him that he loves his mom, dad and he loves himself. This morning she told me that she had to take a toy away from him and he told her he was going to tell his mom on her and she was going to get in trouble. I told her I hear that alot from his teachers. What a bully.

Gabe At dinner we usually go around the table and everyone tells about there favorite part of the day. Colin went first and said his favorite part was he started division, next Noah said Swimming Class and Lily's favorite part was playing the dominoes game. Gabe through out kept interrupting the kids wanting to tell his favorite but we told him he had to wait his turn. So, finally when it was his turn he said his was cheese crackers, granola bar, banana and etc... he named in order all the snacks he had that day. I asked him that there must be something we did that day that was fun like play games and again he named all the snacks he had. We all started to laugh. I guess he really liked his snacks that day.

Lily Last week Brandon worked nights which can be very hectic. Making dinner, cleaning up, homework and bathtime can get overwhelming. By bathtime it felt like an asembly line doing nail, ears and brushing teeth. So after helping the kids brush their teeth I was cleaning up the bathroom and counting the minutes when the kids would be in bed. So as I am cleaning up the clothes and I see Lily sitting in the hallway with our dog Madison and it looks like she's brushing the dogs hair with what I think is a toy brush. So I ask her what she's doing and she tells me she's brushing the dogs teeth. I stopped what I was doing and told her that it was a bummer she no longer has a toothbrush and asked her to give me it. She gives me what I think is her toothbrush and I look down and it's mine. That's all I could say is Come On, why not your dad's? She shrugged and said Maddy's teeth are clean. My thought was Yuck..
