This and That

*Someone wants to do EVERYTHING big brother does.  "Me too!" is a common phrase around here.

*We took a trip to the zoo last week.  Despite the beautiful weather, no one was there.  We've never seen the zoo so empty.  It was a great time to go! 

 *Natalie is really into the "CHEESE!" part of pictures now.

*After seeing the first exhibit, Scott casually asked us, "So what would you like to do next?  Ride the train or something?"  He was trying to be subtle and grown up about asking which made us laugh.  He immediately pointed out that the zoo train had a new engine.  We're not sure if it was new or just repainted, but he was the only one to notice, and we believe him.  He WOULD notice that type of thing.  The train ride was his favorite part, of course. 

*Here he is trying his hand at frisbee.  We both need some more practice.  I couldn't get it to really fly across the yard at all.  (Scott thought I was good though...I love his four year old standards!:)  

*I often sing the beginning of "Stand Up, Stand Up for Jesus" when I'm wanting the kids to stand up for something.   Natalie was standing tonight in her highchair and I said, "Natalie!  Sit down.  The chair is going to tip."  She immediately responded with, "Okay, Mommy.  Sit down for Jesus."  

*On a similar note, I sometimes take her right from her highchair to the top of the kitchen counter to brush off the crumbs and clean her up.  She likes this and sometimes has asked, "Stand up for Jesus on counter??"  

Oh how we love our goobers!
