Children and their delusions

So I teach Katharine's primary class at church and last week we got on the topic of making poor choices. I said everyone makes mistakes and then we learn from them. A little girl in the class asked me if even I, the teacher, made mistakes. My sweet little Katharine said, "You do, Mom. Sometimes you make horrible choices."

I replied, "Yes, everyone makes mistakes, your parents and even your grandparents all make bad choices sometimes."

This was too much for my little girl. Katharine said, "Not my Grandma. She doesn't make mistakes."

Seriously! And I thought this was my one kid who understood reality. Boy does Grandma have them fooled. She's perfect and I'm apparently a total screw-up.

Kindergarten Graduation

I can't believe my sweet little Katharine is going to be a first grader! We have been truly blessed this year with the most amazing kindergarten teacher ever, Mrs. Harvey. It has been a wonderful experience watching Katharine learn and grow. We could not be more proud of our beautiful six year old!

Elizabeth can't wait for her turn in kindergarten. She already loves Mrs. Harvey!

May 2010

May was a wonderful month, especially since the heat has stayed away. I love being home with my children. We've had so much fun. Here are a few highlights:

celebrating birthdays (late),

riding plasma cars,

painting in the backyard (yes, my son painted everything, including himself, pink),

toddler time at the water park with great friends,

and picking cherries at my parent's house with the Gale's. Brian and I made cherry jelly, I made a cherry pie, orange-cherry scones, and froze the rest.

Memorial weekend was fun and busy! The best part of the weekend was taking our children to the Memorial Day tribute put on by a local church, including a Memorial Wall of fallen soldiers, a 9/11 memorial, and a display of military vehicles hosted by local military members. Jameson loved the big trucks and kept saying, "Wow, wow!" It was wonderful to teach our little ones about the sacrifice so many have made to promote our freedom. Thank you to all who have served our country so proudly.
