Bouncing eggs

Do eggs bounce? Let's check in with Mason...



Sammy on the rings

Sammy has started gymnastics and absolutely loves it!!



Ruth and the ball

Ruth is getting a big ball for Christmas. In a big box. She will be in heaven!



Dance party

Ruthie is learning to wave! I'm not sure who is more fun to watch--her or the other kids trying to get her to do it...



Halloween candy trading rules

The kids always come up with extravagant rules for...most everything they do. Halloween candy trading is no exception!

FHE QOTD

After FHE tonight everyone started talking to me at once...

Mom!
Mom?
Mom!
Mom!
Mom!

Me: Okay, okay, one at a time! Trevor, then Mason, then Elise, then Sammy, then Lincoln

Trevor: Remember the song "oh where oh where"?
Me: (sings the song) Oh where, oh where has my little dog gone? Oh where, oh where can she be? Etc., etc.

Still me: Mason?

Mason: What is the name of the programming language that MIT developed to use in Scratch?
Dad: You're asking Mom that?
Other kids: It's not your turn to talk!
Mason: No, you.

Me: Next!

Elise: I wrapped up this knee and it feels really good to not bend it when I walk. Do you know where the other ACE bandage is?
Me: No idea, sorry. Sammy?

Sammy: I'm sad I finished my book because now I don't have anything to look forward to, because when I have a book I'm not bored at night time.
Me: You checked out another book, too, remember?
Sammy: Oh yeah!

Me: Lincoln?

Lincoln: I know! Her was abducted by aliens so you can't find her now!


And a cute picture of Ruthie--see the pillow fight in the background?
