Since most of you aren't able to be in our home on a regular basis, I thought I'd relay a conversation we had tonight. Mom asked the (random) questions and typed the answers, verbatim. Our home is a place of many words (recently we've been working on taking turns and not interrupting) and many smiles.
"What was something fun you did today?"
Robyn: "Playing at Mrs. Rivard's and collecting rocks and all that good stuff."
Seth: "And I jumped in the leaves!"
Nathan: "I played a game in math and we went on a leaf hunt."
Seth: "And I wanna watch a movie because I'm sick."
Robyn: "I have a princess shirt on!"
What's something you like to wear?
Robyn: "My princess clothes!"
Seth: "I like to wear my motorcycle shirt with an alligator."
Nathan: "My new jet shirt."
What's something you don't like to wear?
Nathan: "This shirt." (new one Mom bought two days ago - nice)
Seth: "I don't like wearing anything because I'm sick."
What's one of your favorite songs?
N: "The Na-Na song." (Every Move I Make)
R: "We are Awana CUBBIES! I like the hopping part! and Jesus Loves Me."
S: Ummm- "We are Sparks for Jesus! Zaccheus and Only Day" (Only A Boy Named David)
What is something you do at church?
R: Reading stories
N: Singing songs - "LA LA LA!"
S: "I like - well, Mom - there's too much kids in my class." (good thing we're building a new church! Apparently our 2 year old even feels it's necessary!)
What food do you like to eat?
S: "PIZZA! Pepperoni Pizza! I like to eat soup too."
N: "The food we ate tonight! (Good answer, son! Tonight's menu: homemade curly noodle chicken soup and King's Hawaiian rolls) And goulash!"
R: "Spaghetti"
What's a food you don't like to eat?
N: "Tomatoes"
R: "Spaghetti" (?? Girls can be fickle)
How old should someone be when they get married?
N: 100!
R: 6
S: 6 or 5
How old is Grandpa Richards?
R: "37"
S: "31" "Is that pretty old?" "Yes."
N: "71" (our smart cookie)
What's something you like doing at Grandma Vanderwest's house?
R: "Petting DIXIE! I like petting Dixie!"
N: "Watching her sew that blanket." (crochet)
S: "I like to play puzzles and doing the Strawbewy Showtcake puzzle."
How old do you think Grandpa Vanderwest is?
R: "Six years old"
S: "Ummm- 31"
N: "61"
Wow - According to the kids, Grandpa V wins the youngest contest, though both Gpas are the same age!
S: "Mom - you're so pretty!" He spontaneously says this to me and "Dad, you're so handsome!" to Daddy.
What does Daddy do at church?
S: He sings songs! And he works things. I like to go to the new church.
R: Ummm - Go in his office.
N: He works and gets money for us!
What do you want to be when you grow up?
R: A Cowboy!
S: A Frog!
N: A policeman or fireman. Mom, when do policemen and firemen go home?
With kids as cute as these, we ought to have more!!

Rhonda, this is so cute! I can picture all of them and their little personalities. I have to tell you a cute story....I was looking at your previous post about the walk in the woods. Cole came over, looked at the picture of Seth and said, "Dat Cole!" He was very excited to see "himself" on the computer. I tried to correct him, but 1) he's 20 months and nobody corrects him, and 2) he really doesn't look that different than Seth! He's got the blond, short hair, at least! I thought it was so funny!
That was really fun to read. Thanks. Kay in Peru
