Rachel: Mom, how do you spell divine?
Me: d-i-v-i-n-e.
Rachel: Nope. It's r-a-c-h-e-l.
Haha! Where does a 4-year old come UP with this stuff?!

Kip: How's is it going? Are you creaming mom? Is she creaming you?
Caleb: Yeah, she's going after all my spawns.
HAHA! Spawns.

McKinley loves a gift given to her by our friend Kennedy (made by her mom Nichole):
Introducing...her "bee-doh" hat. (Aptly named by McKinley herself)
...get it? bee-doh hat? From Despicable me 2? When the minions say "bee-doh, bee-doh, bee-doh." Bahaha! Bee-doh hat. She loves it and snuggles it and gives it kisses. I sense a Halloween costume already mostly ready (throw on some overalls - bam! done!) Thanks for the bee-doh hat, friends!
________________________________________________Setting: In the car. Kids are fussing at each other.
Me: Hey you guys - that's enough. You're fighting over something silly. Just let it go.
*Significant Pause*
Everyone: (Bursting into song from Frozen) LET IT GO, LET IT GO! CAN'T HOLD IT BACK ANYMORE!
Nice! Even Kinley can sing the snowman song. We are big fans of that movie and soundtrack around here.

I tried to take my young women's group ice-blocking last week because none of them had ever tried it. We were all very enthusiastic, but it turns out that ice blocking on a frozen hill in the winter...does not work. Doh! We tried making a slick run, pouring water on the block, everything. In the end we had blast just sliding down the hill on our backs and planning to try ice blocking again in the summer when it's warm and might actually work.
Life is grand isn't it? All of the kids are well and happy, Kip's job is very busy, and we even had a 60* day in January (then the next snow moved in, but still, 60*!) Practically summer. Plenty of reasons to smile! :)
