Moments

My sweet sweet Lacy, she's not as much of a talker as some other girls we know but she's a pretty deep & thoughtful little girl. Today, my new iPhone case came & it has a scripture verse on it. All the girls were reading it & I explained its much easier to stay focused on what God wants you to do when you're always looking at it. I was putting napkins out for dinner & Lacy said, "I bet you wish they had bible verses on napkins Mom, then we could read them at dinner" awhile later she puts these napkins writing side down at each of our places. After we prayed, she told us we could turn them over. She wrote different verses for each of us.

These our are new pets, or the big girls new pets. Three fish + a snail. It's not a puppy but they do report every day what the fish are doing, how gross the snail is. Lacy set her radio right next to the tank yesterday so they wouldn't be lonely while they're at school. 

Which leads me to the ridiculous conversation in the car yesterday, Lacy asked me how you can tell if a snail is a boy or a girl. I said, "I don't know" the girls responded "ask your phone" So I did. Apparently, most snails are hermaphrodites. I was not going to use that word so I just explained the snail had girl parts and boy parts. The girls then asked which parts it had more of, if it had a vagina and a stomach does that mean it's going to have babies...aaaahhhh!!! Then Lily coined the term shemale for the snail. 

Onto the family tree, Lily's working on her family tree which led to discussion around the table about our grandparents. Jason was telling the girls about when his grandpa passed away & he used the money Pappy gave him from his Grandpa to buy Mommy's engagement ring. So, of course Lily responds, "Can I have all your money when you die?"  

Harper is forever leaving stuff at school, hats, mittens, stuffed animals, you name it. One morning, she wore my hat to school, of course left it there. I told her, you need to bring home everything in your cubby, especially my hat. She says, Yeah, cause school is almost over so I better clean out my cubby before"  I hate to tell her, she's less than 1/2 way through the year....
