He's gotta shop somewhere...

So David's mom was here last weekend (my birthday) and she took the kids with her to go get a little present for me.

Jane was so proud to give me a cute little book on "Mother's" and when I asked her where she got it she said:

"You know, the Jesus book store."

Jesus bookstore = Deseret Book.

Thanks for the gift Jane (and thanks for the equally wonderful book Lynne!)

Puppy Love

So Max has a new girlfriend at school. He came home with her phone number on the 4th or 5th day of school. (Side Note: David thought it was pretty awesome that his son was bringing home girl's numbers so early on and gave Max a congratulatory "high five" for doing so.) Her name is Catherine. So I asked Max what he'd do when Catherine came over if we called her to play at our house. He said that she and Catherine like to play with the bouncy balls that the teacher gave them for turning in their homework.

They are translucent with glitter inside them and Max informed me that "Catherine's ball is purple and she named it Sparkles. Mine is green and I named it Sparky." (How cute is that?)

So Sparkles and Sparky like to play games at recess.

Max told me that they stand under a tree and throw the balls up and try to catch them on the way down. "We have a name for that too. Catherine calls it "Raining Gumballs" and I call it "Wack-a-Leaf."

Ahh, the differences between boys and girls. So cute and so fun to see at this age.

May you never grow up Max.

(and now I'm crying so I'll have to stop typing).
