6/3: Walter was pretending to by Super Why, from the PBS Kids show. He informed me “You can buy more super powers, for free.”
“Really,” I asked, “where do you get them?”
Of course his answer was “There’s a little app for it!”
7/22: Walter: “Mommy, there are three kinds of phones: saxophones, iPhones, and just phones.”
9/2: While […]
After hearing the story of Jesus walking on the water, Walter asked, “Can Jesus ever sink?”
“I suppose he could if he wanted to. How do you suppose he took a bath?” I replied.
“Jesus didn’t need a bath!” he retorted.
“Jesus was a regular person…” I started.
Walter broke in,”Because he’s powerful and he can just get water […]
We just got back from our summer trip to visit Grandma & Grandpa Schoolcraft. We flew into Manchester, New Hampshire, and spent our first two nights with some college friends in Maine. They took us to the lovely beach in Kennebunkport. We got to dip our toes in the Atlantic, dig in the sand, watch […]
One of my goals with this blog is to record the cute sayings I hear and the amazing milestones my kids reach. But some of the best stuff seems to happen when I’m not looking…or when they think I’m not.
Like Walter “reading” 101 Dalmatians to Abigail.
Or the time I was at a choir practice, and […]
6/21: While preparing for a road trip in a tape deck-equipped vehicle, I came across Keith’s cassette of DC Talk’s self-titled album from 1989. I showed the cover to Walter. “Look,” I said, “there’s TobyMac as a teenager!” Walter thought about that and said, “Wow, that must have been before, like, 2002!”
6/25: We went to […]
This post is a bit late, but life has thrown a lot at us lately. Not the least of which was a tornado on the day of Walter’s birthday party…
Just as our guests were arriving, the sirens went off. A couple of minutes of watching the TV weather report made it clear that an actual […]
4/23: While playing Super Paper Mario on the Wii, I heard Walter exclaim, “Why would he flippin’ do such a thing?”
4/25: I let Walter try Fig Newtons. “Do they give you big muscles?” he asked. “No, they just taste good,” I said. He thought for a minute, then asked, “Do they give you dancing skills?”
5/8: […]
We took a big family vacation to Orlando this year. This is the last spring before we have to deal with school schedules, so we took a full two weeks.
April 2: We cashed in the credit card points that we weren’t able to use at Christmas (see Christmas post below) so that we could fly […]
12/17: At bed time, when I told Abigail “I love you,” she replied “I wike yoo all da time!”
1/5: At a grocery store, Walter was interested in some very dark chocolate that Keith had picked out. I suggested we find some different chocolate “for little boys.” To which Walter replied, “I’m not a little boy, […]
We an unusual but fun-filled Christmas this year. We got started with a Christmas Eve celebration with Grandma & Grandpa Paxton here in the Twin Cities. We had a special treat this year, as Uncle Thom and his fiancee Molly were in town. We all attended the Christmas Eve service at my parents’ church. A […]
