Grantism

This morning out of nowhere Grant says, "when I get big I will be a Mommy just like you," Katelyn pipes in, "No you will be a daddy just like Daddy" to which Grant replied, "No, because Daddy's don't get treats" so I had to ask "are Mommies the only ones who get treats?" then Grant said "no, mommies don't get treats either, just kids, so I just want to be a kid"
That does seem to be the way things work at our house.

snickers

Grandma Louise got a "kitten" for Christmas, it's more like a teenager then a kitten but it's still very cute and playful,  the kids love her,  in fact they couldn't leave her alone, the first thing they would ask upon waking in the morning is, "Where is Snickers?" Snickers was actually pretty tolerant of the kids and their "love" she didn't scratch or bite but she did spend a lot of time hiding under the couch when she heard them coming.

Roller Skates

 Katelyn got roller skates for Christmas this year,  she loves them most of the time and can now skate without falling sometimes.  her favorite is to skate in the house on the carpet, and she has gotten pretty good at that.  the sidewalk still gives her a few bumps and bruises but she is diligent and gets herself back up.
