More funnies

The kids keep saying the funniest things. So, for some reason most of them have to do with body parts or bodily functions. Sorry, but I have to document for those days I need a good laugh. This one is out of the mouth of little Morgan yet again ....

Yesterday we got an envelope in the mail from Disney (trying to get us to sign up for their movie club)-- It was junk, of course, so Karsten and Morgan opened it and inside was a sheet of disney stickers that were printed just for us that said "This Movie belongs to the Waisath family."

ME: "Morgan, you should save some stickers to put on our Movies."
MORGAN: "On my boobies? Ok." And she proceeded to pull up her shirt and stick them smack on her boobies.

Sometimes she does listen quite well, at least :)

Back to School

Let's just say I'm way behind. These house project have put me behind on just about everything! School started for Karsten a few weeks ago. He started first grade and was a little hesitant because he was going to be gone for soo long each day! Kindergarten was only half day if you can even call it that. He was home by 11:15. Now, he doesn't get home until 3:45pm! The first week he was exhausted, but I think he's in his groove now. He loves his teacher and has enjoyed meeting new friends and seeing his friends from last year. I don't get a whole lot of details about his day-he runs in the house to tell me who he's planning to play with after school. He and his buddies plan their afternoon while they ride home on the bus. But, the first day of school I was able to get the following details out of him: He got off the bus and someone escorted him to class (his bus was really late that day, so I asked him if he was late for school). He said there were a lot of kids in his class but he wasn't late. He said Miss Ward (his teacher) wore a purple tie around her neck (I'm assuming she was wearing a scarf?). They practiced lining up quietly, Miss Ward showed them where the bathrooms and cafeteria were. They had recess and he saw a lot of his friends from Mrs Myers class (his Kindergarden class). That excited him. He said hi to Quinn (from Kindergarden). They went back to class and sat on the carpet and told Miss Ward if they were riding the bus or getting picked up. They only had class for about 2 hours the first day so that is probably about all they did!

So far he has enjoyed 1st grade. He has music, PE and art class each week. He gets to go to the library on Wednesdays. He has figured out where the lego section is and has picked out lego books every week. He goes to bed reading them and playing with his lego men every night. I think it actually keeps him up late as he's had a hard time waking up on his own lately.

Morgan started school too! This was her first week of Preschool. Tuesday I went with her to get her acquainted with her school, new friends and her teachers. She had a great time. Today was the first day she would go on her own. She was very hesitant to go without me. Luckily, we drive up and the teachers come get the kids from the car and walk them down to the classroom. That saved me. She walked in and I told her I would be back shortly (which was true-class was only an hour today and it took them 15 minutes to get the kids from the cars :). I came back and she had a huge smile on her face. She had a great time! Her buddy, Seth, from her church class is in her preschool class so that has made it an easier transition for her.

So, it's Garrett and I home for a few hours in the morning together. He'll keep me busy, I'm sure. Today all I had time to do was practice the piano before we had to run back to get Morgan. We'll see what I can accomplish with one on one G-man time :)

We are looking forward to another great school year!

This week

I peeked in on Karsten tonight after he went to bed and found him with this little guy in his hand. Mimi-thought you would enjoy.
This is how I was sent off to Girls Camp! Thanks Morgan!

Random

I just downloaded 100 pictures from our camera. Here are a few to share. Enjoy...and then pray for me this week while I go to Girls Camp for 5 days!

Here is Garrett after his new haircut. He needed it soo bad! He's probably sucking on a hairy sucker in this photo.
Theron was proud of this moment and had to snap a few photos. Maybe a future surgeon? Looks like he's even diggin' at the right part of the body!

It's a family affair. (And look, it's Garrett before his haircut-poor kid looks like a girl from behind).

Uh, kiss me?

Garrett the walkin' man

Catching Butterflies?

On Thursday evening Morgan grabbed her butterfly net and ran outside. A few minutes later she came in and said, "Mom, look what I caught!" She had caught herself a beautiful butterfly. I looked closer and it wasn't moving. Looked dead to me but she was excited so I got excited for her (...turns out Theron said all the sudden it fell from the sky and she snatched it up. Yup. Dead.) So she runs back outside. Maybe 3 minutes later she comes back in. "Mom! Look what I caught!" This time it was a little frog. So exciting! I made sure she held the top closed so he didn't escape (this one was definately alive!). We went outside to show Garrett and Karsten and then we let him go. I went back inside and not more than 5 minutes went by and she came inside. "Mom! Look what I got!" Inside her net was my watch-one that I lost 2 months ago and was going crazy wondering where the heck it went! I don't usually lose things so it was really bugging me. I laughed at the fun she was having finding all these cool things! And, I was SOO excited to have my watch back! I wonder what she's going to find next time she goes out with the butterfly net??

Garrett's FIRST Birthday!

Today was Garrett's 1st birthday! We love this guy so much. He's funny- He goes with the flow and is so easy going when he's in his car seat and we're out and about....BUT, when you get him in your arms or let him loose on the floor this kid never stops moving. He's in to everything and voices his opinions often. He loves to play with Morgan and Karsten. They love to play with him too, but now he's competition because he's started wrecking all their creations, stealing their game pieces, grabbing their books....etc... He's just working on walking! Happy Birthday Garrett! We love you!
