Pirates, mini golf, & missionaries

This was the Craven's missionary picture.  They went to Little Rock, Arkansas  and lived in Morrilton.

Goofy golf day for Jackie's class.  Ty went all out making a hole.  He wasn't the only one.  They had fun.

Pirate Day at school.  Jackie loves Mrs. Palmer & Sra. Gardu

Cooking potatoes

The last post was about cute things the kids say/do.  This one is about something the kids have to learn.  Tommi is my little helper.  He is constantly saying, "I help.  I do."  I have realized that there is never really a good time for him to help, and I have really changed my perspective to focus on teaching rather than focus on getting a job done faster.  So, as I was preparing potatoes to bake them in the oven, he of course wanted to help.  I took the time to show him how to wrap it and poke it.  He took it and was practicing.  I took my eye off him.  When I looked at him again, he was poking Baby Chloe.  I put him in his crib for time out.  Chloe was screaming.  She ended up with marks on her neck where he had poked her.  He needs 100% supervision.  I can't turn my head any more.

Jacki and Wes have kid tablets.  There is a game about brushing your teeth.  Jacki said that she turned the music on as she was brushing her teeth.  I thought that was cute.  Tommi likes to imitate the other two, and he was playing with Jackie's tablet while she was at school.  Wes took it upon himself to take Jackie's tablet away from Tommi.  Tommi bit him on the back.  Wes cried a lot.  He went to preschool and came back happy.  He loves Miss Helen's preschool.

Cutism

Kids say a million cute things in a day.  I am going to refer to them at cutisms and try to write them down more.  Today the kids were looking at a map of the United States.  Jacki was telling Wes what the states were.  She came to me and asked what started with NV.  I told her it was an abbreviation for Nevada.  "Oh, she said, (as she processed my answer.)  we thought it was for Neverland.  Wes, NV is for Nevada, not Neverland."

Chloe is watching me work.  She is my supervisor.  I propped up her mirror toy so she could see herself.  She is cooing and smiling....I love it!

Momma Moment

After my mother in law took Jacki to school today, I was working on the dishes with Tommi and Chloe next to me.  After a few minutes I yelled to Wes, but there was no answer.  We looked all throughout the house twice.  I looked outside, but it was unlikely he was there because all the doors were still locked.  Just about the time I was about to panic and call my mother in law to see if she had a stow away, I made myself calm down and think rationally....k we woke up early today, so he is probably gone back to sleep, which is why he isn't answering me.  Then, I looked down on the blow up air mattress we had set up for my sis, and he was under the blanket so you couldn't see him.....relief.
