Apples and Libraries

Yesterday Payton's 2nd grade class went on a field trip. Before they went, Payton was telling me all about the "Apple" store they were going to. He said "there are all types of apples there." And he also said, "we are going to use a computer to see how the "apples" are made!" I tried to tell him that an "Apple" was actually a brand of computer. He did NOT believe me.He thought it was a store full of apples you eat! After he came home he was very excited about this "Apple" store. He got to play on an iPad, make his own website and see some cool gadgets. He then told me I was right about it being a computer store. Then he went on tell me about this "huge library". He thought it was the best library ever! You can even buy food there and he got to have a hot chocolate! He really wants to go there again. This library is also known as "Barnes and Noble." After the "Apple store and the Library" it was on to the movie theater to see Disney's "Ocean". He enjoyed that too, but was a little worn out since he fell asleep towards the end of the movie! All in all he had a great day!

The Crash

Yesterday a drunk guy crashed through our backyard brick fence. None of us were hurt since we were in the house. After the police, firemen, ambulance, tow truck were gone, my dad (who had come over) went out back to check it out. Before that all my boys watched as everyone did there jobs at the scene of the accident. They even watched the man get handcuffed and put in the police car. So, back to my dad in the backyard. While he was out there Kaden says, "Grandpa is outside and he is gonna catched." (Meaning that the police would take grandpa away too.) He did not quite understand what was going on out there. But we explained to him that the man that was "catched" was a bad man and that grandpa was okay out there.

Movie Time

This post is not what anyone said, but what they did. Last night Avery, Adrion, Payton, Parker and Kaden wanted to watch a movie. So I told them that they needed to agree on a movie to watch. While Avery, Adrion, Payton and Parker were trying to figure out what movie they could all agree on, Kaden picked out his own movie, put it in the DVD player and started watching it. The other boys still had not picked a movie and started watching what Kaden put on. I thought it was pretty funny! I guess all you have to do around here is put on the movie you want to watch while everyone else is trying to agree upon a movie :-) Kaden has learned early in life how to get what he wants...lol.

Father Time == Unix Geek

Here is one right out of Jeremy's journal.

Avery told me he saw "father time" at a Unix meeting I lectured at (long ago). Then he asked: "were they really old or just sat at the the computer all day so never got haircuts?"

Kadenism....

Okay, I should've called this blog, "The Things That Kaden Says!"

Today, Kaden was looking in the fridge and says "Mom, there are boogers in the fridge!" I said, "No there is not Kaden, that is gross." Then he pulls out the jar of pickle relish and says, "YES THERE IS BOOGERS IN THE FRIDGE!!" The funniest part is that he was SO serious!!
