More Funny Things

So kids are always saying and doing funny or cute things, and this is where I like to keep track of them.  I have racked my tired brain this morning so I could write down one thing from each kid this week.

1. Ruth picked out these cutsie pastel puppy valentines cards for her 6th grade class. She seemed very excited about them in the store. But when She began to fill them out, Ruth was definitely distressed. She looked down at her neatly sorted cards and her class list and very forlornly and said, "Mom!!! I can NOT give any of these cards to the boys in my class!" John very definitely agreed.
2. So after last week, we made this week a computer game free week. Kate said, "That is okay, Mom because we just took the time that we normally play computer games and watched lots of great TV shows!" (That is somewhat true, but they also read more books and played outside more.)
3. Okay, so little boys are weird. The nine year old boys in our primary class are always pointing finger guns and making shooting noises. My sons are no different. After school every day for about a half hour Johnny karate kicks the air, the couches, his sisters, Adam, the piano, whatever until I tell him to get Kell and go outside to play. On the same note, Adam throws his body around like a bomb and makes exploding noises as he crashes to the floor.
4. Aunt Rebecca took photos of the 4 little kids on Tuesday. She asked Adam what his favorite thing to do was and he replied, "Clean my room with my brother, Johnny." (I wonder what they are doing down there?)
5. At every meal Rachel sits down, groans and says, "Oh, I hate that kind of food." But it is every meal no matter what we are eating. I should maybe try Rachel's diet?
6. Anya loves, loves, loves pacifiers and it has recently taken a turn for the worst. Instead of just having a pacifier in her mouth, Anya is not happy unless she has one pacifier in her mouth, and one pacifier in her hand.
7. I've noticed that when Joseph starts to get upset he starts spitting. When I washed his face yesterday, he looked me directly in the eye and spat.  I guess he doesn't like getting his face washed :).
