She's only 3...

A conversation between S and me~

S: "Mom, b.a.d. spells 'bed' :)

Mom: "No, b.e.d spells "bed" :)

S: "NO, MOM...it's spelled B.A.D."

Mom: "No, S...it's b.e.d...buh. eh. duh (sounding out letters for her), the e makes an "eh" sound, and a makes an "ah" sound.  You are spelling bad"

S: "MOM, IT'S 'B.A.D."

Mom: "S, I know how to spell...

S: "MOM, I'M SMART, I KNOW HOW TO SPELL!!  YOU'RE NOT SMART, YOU DON'T KNOW HOW TO SPELL!!  IT'S B.A.D...BED!!

Uugh!!  Someone needs to remind her she's only 3 (ok, almost 4), and remind me NOT to try and reason with a 3 (almost 4) year old!!

Girls 4 Life...

     Katie is a member of Girls 4 Life.  Yesterday they went to an abortion clinic for a silent prayer vigil.  The high school homeschooled kids (homeschoolers 4 life) were also there.  There weren't too many there when we first arrived, but it wasn't too long before more showed up! :)  Here are some pictures of our day yesterday!

 

Katie is the young lady on the far left in the plaid jacket...

 

...more arrive!

 

After it is over, Katie and some friends check out the bulbs coming up from under the mulch :)

 

The oldest daughter and the youngest!! :)

 

 We stopped on the way for lunch, she fell asleep before she finished :(

 

And of course, our sweet boys! 

Everyone was soooo well behaved while we waited for Katie (well, Andrea struggled!  She kept honking the horn with her knee :)

Life Lessons...

Life lessons learned this week:

(1)  When you go to a friends house where there are a "few" people gathering - HAVE FUN!

(2)  When the "few" people turn into "many" - LEAVE!

(3)  If, when considering lesson #1, you realize the parents aren't home - DON'T GO!

(4)  If you haven't yet learned lesson #3, for goodness sake DON'T post the evidence, with pictures, on your myspace!!  GEESH!!!
