Tricky Fish

Cason: (Looking on the counter for his bag of Swedish Fish) Mom, I can't find my fish.  Where did they go?

Me: Maybe they swam away.

Cason: Mom, they can't swim away!

Aiden: Why not?

Cason: BECAUSE (sigh) they are in a BAG!

I guess the fact that they aren't actually REAL fish had NOTHING to do with it! LOL

The Run of the School...

Aiden's School Secretary: Is this Aiden's Mom?
Me: Yes.
AS: Well, Aiden wanted you to be informed that he fell out of his chair in class and hit his cheek.  He came to the office to have ice put on it and he has a very small mark.  He is back in his classroom, but he really felt you should be called and told about the situation.
Me: OK, thank you.  He fell out of his chair?
AS: (with laughter in her voice) Yes, he has no idea how he fell out of his chair he just did...and he thought you should know.
Me: OK, thanks for calling...
LOL

**~Happy New Year~**

This year has been an especially weird one.  There was loss of family members, endings of friendships, and major disappointments...but then I take into account all the wonderful things that evened it out and the boys are right up there at the top (along with many other people, but this blog IS about the boys).

They're amazingly silly, smart, and sweet.  They never fail to make me laugh right when I need it or warm my heart when it feels the world is a little too cruel.  I could never have asked God for better children than the ones I have...I am very blessed! 

We let the kids stay up last night until midnight for the first time and they actually made it until midnight to see the ball drop, though Cason's eyes turned glassy and unfocused...lol

The best line of the night had to be by Aiden when he said, "C'mon, Cason, let's stop playing this game and go upstairs.  We'll be adults and drink pop."

Have a very Happy New Year...I hope it's a very wonderful one for all of you!
