Snow, Sun, & Spectacles

On Monday, the kids played in the snow. 

Today, Kate asked me for sunscreen, Natalie convinced me she was fine in short sleeves, and Scott begged for a picnic on the back porch.  Gotta love the ever changing weather! 

Kate loves to go to Bible Study Fellowship and asks me regularly if it's Tuesday.  She credits everything she knows to BSF.  "I learned it at BSF."  (Even things that I'm sure were never mentioned while she was there, Kate always chalks it up to learning it at BSF!:)  She talks about two friends that she's made there...Livi and Heartbox.  I'm not sure if they are imaginary or if their names just sound similar to this, but she's been consistent with her Livi and Heartbox stories for quite sometime. 

 Scott's been into taking things apart recently in order to fix them.  Sometimes I come away amazed at what he's able to fix or figure out.  Other times, I want to pull out my hair because he has "fixed" something that didn't need to be fixed (until now, if you get my drift). 

Scott asked if he and Natalie could take Kate on a walk through the woods "to teach her about creation." 

Current Parenting Battle Across the Board with All 3 Kids:  Bath night- I've come to dread it.  On days my children stink, you will know who won.

 Scott's getting serious about his keyboard.  He's on the market for a pedal next.  He plays almost everyday.  While he does not enjoy practicing his assigned piano songs, he does love to play by ear and seems to have a talent for it.

 Kate and Scott are popcorn buddies.  It's their thing.  Scott pops a bowl while Kate gets their pillows set up.  Then, they watch Curious George.  We have seen all of the Curious George episodes numerous times.  Kate says, "He's a funny monkey." 

Scott has been noticing several "LOST DOG" signs around our area.  In all seriousness, he suggested that we start going around looking for all of the lost dogs and that could be how our family earns money.  He said that if we could find the $1,000 dog, we could take some time off for awhile.  Ha!

 I'm in the process of preparing to get Lasik done (actually LASEK).  Down side- I have to wear my glasses for the next month.  On my first day of wearing glasses, one of my honest children informed me that I don't look as nice with glasses.  Thanks for the confidence booster, Child Dearest!  Only four more weeks to go... (I decided against posting a selfie below, but will instead leave you with Natalie.)
