A Life Lesson

On the way to preschool everyday, we pass a cemetery. Of course the kids have asked their questions about it but one day Daddy took them to check it out. A few days later I was talking to the boys and we talked about cemetery "manners".

Yesterday while all 4 of us were in the car, Paxton and I were going over the manners with Daddy and Paxton decided to make one of his own...

Mommy: Paxton, Did you tell Daddy how you are supposed to act in a cemetery?

Paxton: Yes, we're supposed to be quiet and not silly.

Mommy: And we're supposed to be respectful, right?

Paxton: And never, ever pretend that it's a maze.

Tracy is Going to LOVE This

Gackie is putting on her coat getting ready to leave after a long day of babysitting.

Benjamin: Is Gackie your Mommy?

Joshua: Yup.

Benjamin: Why is she Gackie?

Joshua: Every Mommy eventually becomes a Gackie. Pretty soon, your Mommy's name is going to be Gackie.

One Week Since Halloween

Benjamin and Paxton were already awake and downstairs playing when I came down this morning. On the couch were a few pieces of colored tin foil -- the tell-tale remains of a Hershey's Kiss.

Benjamin: (smiling) I ate candy.

Paxton: GOOD JOB TELLING THE TRUTH, BEN!!

(I don't think Ben knew he was confessing.)
