The Blue Eyed Bunch

We had a good snowstorm and Eden was telling me over and over that the snow was going to blow up!

Reagan came home from school and made himself several snacks. Then Reagan was pouring a bowl of cereal at 4:30pm. When told not to and that dinner was going to be made soon, he said, "But I never ate Breakfast!"

Brad has a big ti 85 calculator for school. Eden picked it up and brought it to him. "Here's your phone, Brad."

Brad asked Eden to throw something in the garbage for him. After she threw it away she came back and stood in front of him and said, "Now say thanks."

James is a very deep thinker. When I read him stories he asks the best questions. He asked about how Humpty Dumpty got on the wall. Last week he asked me why no one helped the baby bird in "Are You My Mother?" to find his mother. All the animals that were asked, none helped. The book "Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs" has a page where it shows the restaurant without a ceiling. The food falls from the sky. "How do the workers make any money?" Good thought! Nobody is buying the food.

Eden likes to pray lately. Long prayers. She blesses everyone over and over. At home, at school, at church, etc. One night she was saying the prayer. She had blessed everyone but Rylan. He was trying to get her attention by pointing at himself and quietly shouting, "Me! Me!" She continued to pray and never blessed Rylan, just everyone else several times. We laughed and laughed!

"Come see my long poop!!!" He was SO PROUD! I've reached a new parenting low. I took a picture of his poop.

Keeping track on seven kids in a busy museum is no small thing.

This portrait of Joseph Smith looks like Jim Halpert!

I'm waaay more excited about this than he is. BUT the last few days of him being able to get where he wants, when he wants, are starting to convert him to how awesome independence is.
