Funnies

There are many things that need to be done right now, but my kids were quite entertaining the past few days and I don't want to forget their crackups:

The kids have been noisy at church. I feel totally fine about bribing them to sit still and be semi-quiet. Three scoops of ice cream for a reverent church meeting (including toppings). If they are noisy or fighting - they loose a scoop. Three strikes and no treats! We had a fantastic night of three scoops. Georgia kept saying "scoops Mommy scoops". We are going to use that trick every Sunday!

Abby started gymnastics at the rec center and bless her little heart. Unfortunately, she has long uncoordinated arms and legs that don't know what to do (too bad she is following in her mom's footsteps). Her panties are constantly falling out of her leotard because she is so skinny (she doesn't have a hiney to hold them up). She tries her best and makes me laugh. It's a great thing she loves it so much!
Carter also started gymnastics. It has been a wonderful energy outlet for him. Bless those 2 male coaches who must semi-control 15 little boys exuberant energy. Carter keeps telling me he is the best in his class.
Everyday when the school bell rings, my kids bust out that door and race to the car as if their life depended on it. I love it! I love that they want to tell me all their adventures of kindergarten.

Carter and Annie racing to the car:

-Georgia has lazer-beam focus when it comes to light bulbs burning out. She gets her little face in her daddy's big face and tells him to "fix it Daddy, fix it". Promptly after fixing, she delightfully says, "Daddy fix it!"

-Abby lazily put her hands behind her head during dinner and said, "This is the life. That is what you say when you go to the beach".
