Jacob Sees a Desert

Driving through the dessert of west Texas Jacob asked, "What happened to all the bushes?"
"What do you mean?"
"Over there. They're all dead."
"Huh?"
"They are all brownish."
"Oh! We aren't on the coast anymore with tons of water and rain."

Ashlyn Says

Random question of the day. "Uh, mom, dad has dry hands and you have dry feet. What's going on with all this dryness?"
"I don't know. Why do you care?"
"It's just weird!!"
"It's your future."

Ashlyn and Karina Say

Conversation between Ashlyn and her best friend Karina
A: Do you want to marry BennyBoo?
K: No, but he is cute. Hahaha. He has a cute haircut. Haha.
A: I want to marry my dad because he is nice.

Ashlyn Says

I have a little energy back today so am having the kids clean out their backpack cubbies at the house. Oh my heavens! The junk!

Me "Is that paper from Highlights trash?"

Ashlyn "No! It's BONUS!!" Then she holds up the paper that says "bonus material" and proves it's not going in the trash anytime soon. 🤦🏼‍♀️ 

Jacob is Quirky Like Mom and a Few Others

I know there are some fellow weirdos out there that count M&Ms and visually divide walls. Those folks will enjoy knowing Jacob just joined the club. We were practicing multiplication and got to 7x3 when he commented that he know this one because he can count by 7s. Thinking that a bit odd I probed for more info and he told me he knows because he "counts holes on peoples faces." Then since he can count by 7s it's faster to count the holes in faces of a group because he has it memorized by groups of 7.

Ashlyn Says

She was running and tripped on the cement tonight. Her knees and palms were scraped up.

"Today was the worst day of my night."

When questioned about the odd quote she said, "Well it happened at night so it makes sense."

Magic Shows for Kindergarten

Brian was doing magic shows at the kindergarten parties. He asked for volunteers and a girl comes up. He tells her to stir up the magic pot and say the magic words. She looks at him and says, "no." Kinda a show stopper.
