CRAZY things that come out of Kennedy's mouth

**Mom, do you think old people are just cute as a button?
**These snow pants make my panties shrink
**My pinky toe smells weird. In fact, my whole foot smells weird!
**Mom, when I turn 18, will I be an old cripple?
**She was wrestling with Colton and I heard her yell "bring it on, butterball"
**At lunch in Leavenworth, we were talking about the small portions. A few minutes later Kennedy says, "this is a small lunch, indeed!"
**We were at the grocery store and she was riding in the cart. Whitley was trying to get in with her and she was freaking out. Landon asked her why Whit couldn't get in with her and she said "because I have space issues!"
**I told Kennedy to roll up her sleeves so that she didn't get them in her food. She said, "No because then I'll look like an Irish leprechaun"
**"Dad, you don't respect my cultures!" "What does that mean?" "It means you don't respect me as your boss!"
**Kennedy just told me that if she had medium brown skin and a black mole on her upper lip, she'd be the most beautiful girl in the world!
**She was trying to tickle my feet, and I kept moving them and she said "just take it like a man-I want to year you laugh"
**We were driving home from gymnastics, and talking about Whitley's upcomgin meet, and out of nowhere Kennedy yells from the back seat "Hey mom, can babies crush bananas?"
**She was helping Colton pull his boots off, and they wouldn't come off. She was leaning back and pulling as hard as she could and she yelled "I'll never give up on you, buddy"
**At breakfast this morning, after taking a big swig of milk, Kennedy declared "milk is my passion"
**She came to me in the middle of the night, sort of whimpering, and said "mom, I'm almost crying".
**Today she called Whitley a desperate peanut thrower!

You may take 3 giant steps forward...

Today I took 3 GIANT steps towards "normal"!

First off, I went to the library and got myself a library card. Now, this might not seem like a big deal, but there's not a book store here, so the library's my best shot at a good book. (Clearly this picture is a little bit of an exageration!)

Then after that, I literally stumbled onto the parks and rec center. Which I've been needing to find so that I could sign Kennedy up for soccer. It only cost my $25 bucks. Such a deal

Finally, Colton and Whitley started piano lessons yesterday. It wasn't easy finding a good teacher, in a town where you don't know a soul, but I did it. The kids both really liked her (not as well as grandma though) and again, totally cheap. She's charging me $5 bucks a lesson! (sorry mom)

WHITE: Hey I am surprised to hear that there is a Library up there, nice...a little reading should kill some time!
Moms going to freak when she finds out how much you are paying for piano...
A little side note, she is trying to get me to start taking lessons from her!!!; February 7, 2008 at 2:35 PM
Nikki: Those are 3 GREAT GIANT STEPS!!! Yea!! I'm so happy for you. Sounds like you're "settling" in! It seems to fit you well so far :) Is it still really cold and snowy? We've been getting tons of snow.
I have to say, $5 lessons for piano is a STEAL!!! That poor teacher is robbing herself...ha ha ha My boys price jumped double from Kim Kastigar up here but she's a great teacher and the boys are really getting good :) So fun! Glad you're having such a good week :); February 7, 2008 at 8:00 PM
Lori: Way to get back into the swing of things!! (And I can't believe you pay $5 a lesson!! Wow!! And soccer only $25, maybe we should move up there.....; February 8, 2008 at 12:55 PM
Loric: Yeah!!! Do you finally feel like life is getting back to normal? Those are MAJOR things you accomplished. Good for you! And good for your kids! I'm sure they're happy about getting back to some of the things they enjoy.; February 8, 2008 at 4:48 PM
