Survival

So I've been meaning to update this more often and this is the perfect one to get back on top of things.

A little while ago McKinney asked the little people "What do you NEED to survive?" Now like you, I expected games, toys, electronics, tv, and a few actual necessities. In all actuality, it turns out we have accomplished much more as parents than I thought. Here are their lists in order of importance:

Kiernyn-
Food
Clothes
Stove
Milk
Love
Family
Hair
Water
No sugar
Sun
Air
Teachers
Chips
Eyes
Jeeps to get places
Clorox to clean with
Paper
Cheese
Fridge
Pets for love (mostly dogs though)
Sinks
Chores
Soldiers to kill all the bad guys

And Kierstyn-
Food
Clothes
Shelter
Trees for oxygen
Fresh air
Trash cans so we don't litter
Water
LOW FAT milk
Eyes to see
Hands
And to cut down fewer trees because animals live there.

Seriously. These kids make me feel all happy inside.

Spelling

Kierstyn:"Hey Dad, I don't know how to spell 'said'."
Kiernyn:"I do! S-A-I-D. Said. I know that because it's on the board like every single day."
Kierstyn:"Oh, well, ok then. Um. Thanks Bubba."

Tiny Dancer

So the Mister has class today and I had to bring Kiernyn to Kierstyn's dance class. I guess he got the dancing bug because this is what went down...

Best Mom?

Kierstyn: "You're the best mom ever. Even if I had ten moms, you'd still be the best. Unless one of them made 5 cakes, then you'd be number 2, unless the cakes made me sick, then you would be the best again."

Man Smell

Kiernyn after running around outside...

"Hey Mom, I've been runnin and sweatin and now I have a man smell. Do you like it?"

And then he shoves his armpit in my face.

King

Kiernyn: "I think I'm the King of Light"
McKinney:"Oh yeah? Why's that?
Kiernyn:"Because when I do this (pulling at corners of his eyes) the lights go sideways. Look Dad, do you see the light doin it?..."

Mom's last

Kiernyn: hey Dad, did you know that it's a game to see who gets up first in the morning?
Dad: Oh yeah? Well Mom must be in first because she's up first all week long.
Kiernyn: No its only the weekend. And Mom is in last. But I'll let her be first because I love her.
