Texas Strongs: "Grandpa, this is the BEST present EVER!"

"Grandpa, this is the BEST present EVER!"

So just as I was about to put up the Christmas tree today the doorbell rings. It was a huge box of presents from Grandpa LeSueur. It was at least half full of pink packaging popcorn (I don't know the real name for it). I debated for all of 30 seconds and decided I would loosen up and let Savannah have some fun. And boy did she have fun...for hours.

When the boys got home they only got to enjoy it for 20 minutes or so. They were a lot rougher and shredded it to pieces. As they played Jacob shouted "Grandpa, this is the BEST present EVER!!!" I then explained that this wasn't actually the present...

This was the most fun my kids have had in a while. Thanks Dad for a great afternoon. (Warning...it sticks to everything so I would never do this again. I had to vacuum my children, literally. I had to vacuum pieces out of Savannah's hair. Fun times.)

This morning it was really quiet for a while in the playroom. I shouted to Savannah "What are you guys doing in there?" Savannah yells back "Having Thanksgiving again!"

Connor has learned to do somersaults...

Lauree's Daily Thoughts

8/28/13 Connor has worn the same size underwear for the last 3 1/2 years. He finally moved up to the next size this week. It's still a little loose, but it's progress.
8/22/13 The kids met their teachers tonight! They all seem happy with their teachers and we hope it will be a great year!
8/21/13 I took the kids to Texas Jumping Beans this morning and we met up with a bunch of friends. The kids had a GREAT time and their socks were so nasty that I ended up throwing them all away after attempting to wash them.
8/19/13 I took Landon for his 3-year-old check-up and he screamed his head off when they tried to weigh and measure him. He was totally fine when the doctor came in and checked him all out, but for some reason he is terrified of the scale. Then I took Jacob to pick up his schedule and books for 7th grade. He's happy to have a technology class this year, and choir again.
8/17/13 Jacob got to go on a youth temple trip again and had a great time. I'm so thankful he has good kids to hang out with, doing good things.
8/8/13 I got to go to the temple in San Antonio with a couple of friends this morning. It was nice to have that peaceful break during the summer, and I had a great time chatting with Allison & Elizabeth on the ride there and back!
8/2/13 Just got back from a trip to my brother's house in Odessa. We had a fun time visiting with Steven, Sarah, Max & Madelyn! We also got to see my mom for a day since she came for a visit as well.

Kid Moments

7/14 I can't remember why, but we were talking about how baby sharks start out as an egg (I know...don't you wish you could listen in to all of our dinner conversations?) Connor says very matter-of-fact "A shark's egg's sac is also known as a mermaid's purse!"
6/14 We were talking about a girl we know who just donated her hair to Wigs for Kids. I told Connor it was for kids who had cancer and had lost their hair. He immediately replied "Or with kids who have alopecia areata." Apparently he learned about alopecia areata at career day and remembered every detail.
6/14 One day while we were eating Zach said randomly "If cannibals ate French people you could call it a French "fry."
2/28/14 (We have watched a LOT of the movie "Wall-E" over the last few weeks.) Landon: I wanna watch Wall-E the lobot. Lauree: No, not today. Landon: You stick a Wall-E the lobot Mommy? (stick = sick)
