Abigail's colors

Today Abigail was coloring on the iPad and I said, "why don't you use the pink?" She replied,"I don't have pink, that is magenta. And that isn't green it's chartreuse." Now if we could only get Indiana to become interested in learning her colors, she still calls everything pink.

Who needs a paper shredder?

The local Kmart is closing so Sunday while we had an hour I took the kids to look around. We picked up some tape, scissors, toothbrushes and a few other random things. Well the kids have been very excited to use their scissors. today I gave them all the junk mail we received and they have been happily cutting it into small pieces all morning.

Rainy but warm

What to do on a rainy yet warm January day with three kids cooped up in the house? Open the windows of course. And when windows are open and kids are stuck inside they discover that from Isaac's bedroom window their voices echo off the neighbor's house. So if you live nearby me and have heard things like "echo" "cow" "monkey" emanating from my house now you know why.

Love reading

Isaac loves to read. He reads two chapters a day in his "chapter" books. He finished Knight Before Dawn in two days. He also gets to read a story from his bedtime story book most nights before bed. This morning when jake got up for work though he found the light on in isaac's room. He had been up for an unknown amount of time reading. I am glad he likes to read but that is a little too early for reading.
