BIG TROUBLE!

I love my 10 year old! He always cracks me up. He is always such a sweet and sensitive kid.

Last night we had put our kids to bed and were watching t.v. My husband and I hear some footsteps coming down the stairs and are wondering what excuse the kids have this time...

He comes down and tells us he has a confession. He got in BIG TROUBLE at school today. Some girl kept calling him a buttmunch and he finally got sick of it and called her a buttmunch back. She went and told the teacher so he got in trouble. The teacher made him apologize to the girl.
He couldn't go to school the next day cause he knows his teacher thinks he is a bad kid now and she hates him for doing something bad.

We told him it would be okay.

I shouldn't be laughing, but as soon as he walked off, my husband and I started laughing our guts out that he thought he was in big trouble. He is such a funny kid.

I am so grateful that I have such a sensitive kid. He is always so worried about being good and how other people will feel.

Sharing Time and Kids

Sometimes I wonder if the kids ever learn when I do sharing time at church. Last Sunday, my sharing time was on the Atonement. My kids and I had been reading in Alma 33, about the story about Moses and the serpents when I was trying to get ready for it. It talked about how it referred to the crucifixion and the Atonement of Jesus Christ. I never knew it had anything to do with it. It probably hit more home cause I was thinking about it.

I decided to let the kids act out the story and then use the water with food coloring and bleach to show them how sometimes we can make mistakes but because of the Atonement we can repent and our Spirit can become clean again.

When we got home that day, my 6 year old said to me "Mom, I never knew that Jesus died for us so that we could go back to him."

He didn't get the whole entire concept, but I guess if it is only my kids learning from my sharing time, it makes me feel better that all of the preparation is teaching someone. I realized that day that the kids really are learning something.

Ordering a Baby Sister

Yesterday after I picked up my Kindergartner, she was intently looking out the car window and then looked over at me and said,"Mom, can we order a baby sister?"
I told her we couldn't. She then went on to say,"I think we probably could."

My kids P.E. teacher at the school just quit because she adopted a baby. I think this has sparked some interest in my daughter's mind. I think she just might have thought her teacher ordered her baby and got hers. Now she thinks people can order babies.

First Day of School

I have been a blog slacker lately. I didn't even put my kids first day of school pictures up. I must be getting old. I have a first, and fourth grader. Next week my kindergartner will start school. It is kind of crazy to think that I will have a few hours to myself and no kids at home.


1st grader
It is so fun to see my first grader so excited for school. We don't have to drag him out the door to get there. He didn't even like Kindergarten!

4th grader
Of course my 4th grader is ready for school. We had a slight mix up where they had him in all 3 fourth grade classes, but he got in the one we preferred. His teacher seems like she will be great. He has always loved school so I never worry about him.

Find Out Friday

It is kind of sad when your kids have to find out for themselves that friends aren't really their friends. We have been trying to tell our 9 year old that a little boy he sometimes plays with has just been using him.

The little boy invited him to his birthday party this week. Our son knows that the boy likes Bakugan. He had me pick out a certain kind at the store since he wanted to get him a special one. The next day the boy came to the house and asked if our son could play but he was gone. Some kids trade these kind of like they do the Pokemon cards.

This is a Bakugan in case you are wondering.

The boy flat out told me that he had traded the Bakugan that my son had given him for his birthday the day before at school that day. When my son got home I recounted the story to him and it made him very upset. He didn't believe me until he talked to the boy the next day at school and found out for himself.

The boy came back to our house yesterday and our son flat out told him he didn't want to play with him. He finally realizes now that the only reason he ever comes over is so he can take what he wants from him. It is sad for kids when they have to find things out for themselves, but it is good when they finally see it for themselves too.

Breakfast in Bed and other ramblings

It was so cute this morning. Me and the hubby awoke to the kids talking about what kind of toast mom and dad liked. They all know dad likes peanut butter on toast. I am not a big fan of peanut butter. My five year old got mad at my nine year old and wanted to make my husband's breakfast so he threw the toast he made away and made him a peanut butter sandwich.

I after all did end up with some toast and jam. Our 4 year old brought us a glass of milk to go along with our sandwich and toast. It was a thoughtful gesture.



Along other lines, our ward got split today, meaning we are in a whole new ward. We have a new Bishop. It is a bittersweet thing, it is sad because we are losing a lot of our good friends but it also gives us the opportunity to get to know a lot of new people as well. We are only a few blocks away from the other people too.



For those people wondering why I haven't quit using my bike clip shoes, my husband tried to put my regular pedals on and got one of the pedals on so much that he could never get the clipped pedal off. Therefore, I am stuck using clip shoes. We could never get the pedal back off. I don't have a choice but to learn to ride that way.
