"My neck is dry." (When he's thirsty.)
"Did you know if you throw a smoke out your window while it's still smoking that it can start a fire? "

Rude awakening!

I let Wyatt continue his nap in the van while I unloaded bags from our Target trip. When I heard an unusual scream, I ran to see what had happened. The door was left open and the automatic sprinkler had come on giving him a little shower! He was not impressed!

Verse 8.

Walk in wisdom toward those who are outside, redeeming the time. Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer each one. Colossians 4:5-6 NKJV I am looking forward to having these verses memorized, to studying them more in the weeks to come, and to see what God wants to teach me through them.

Jelly beans.

Counting, sorting, adding (then eating and subtracting!), and reading about their colors in an Easter poem.

Easter games-- shell crack and egg bocce. Jelly bean baskets with the jelly bean poem. What are some ways you are preparing for Easter with your kids?

In her room.

It is not the best quality photo, but I want to remember this moment... finding her in her room, quietly taking care of all her babies and driving her mom-mobile (she had her sunglasses on when she turned around).

Sleeping Beauty.

Lukeisms.

It went down the wrong throat.
It went down the wrong vein.
