KIDTOWN

Back in December the whole third grade was divided into small groups and given the assignment to come up with an idea of something to sell. Then they wrote up a business plan, asked for a loan from their parents which they would pay back with interest, wrote and produced commercials to play for the student body, and designed logos for shirts to be made up for advertising. Then in January they turned the school into

Kate's group decided on the store Pretzel Palace!

Here are the owners of Pretzel Palace!

These kids did great!! They sold out of Pretzels long before the stores closed!

All proceeds went to pay for a field trip they get to do in April. I was able to go up to school and help with the store although, her group did not need any help. Instead of helping I sat back and enjoyed watching Kate interact with friends and learn some real life lessons on costumer service, thinking ahead, and taking initiative. She is such an AMAZING girl who seems to adapt and thrive no matter the situation she is put in. I love her!

I know this is a theme that keeps coming up but next year when Hyrum goes to Kindergarten and Emma is bigger this little relationship will be forever changed and I want to make sure I remember it. For it pleases my soul and fixes my mood every time I witness it.

Philosophical phrases from the Bee's

After our power came back on KB very excitedly yelled "we have lightricity"

KB's favorite new phrases are... "are you thinking what I'm thinking", and "I don't have an idea about that". She is also really into people coming over on her designated time. All the way home from church she cried because she wanted a friend to come over (problem I didn't have enough dinner to share). I said well maybe we can call and see if they can come over tomorrow. KB's response "but I wont want them to play theeeeeeeen!" Oh what do ya do?

Out of the blue KB says "mom, say I one the arm" I hate to admit it took me longer than it should have to realize we were playing the "I 8 the arm" game. Anyway as we were playing, I told KB "I 2 the alligator", she cracked up and said I didn't achoo the alligator I coughed the alligator.

Yesterday I was sitting down, and unprompted, KB walked up to me and, pointing to my left eye said, "Daddy, that is your good eye." I replied, "Oh really?" She continued, indicating my right eye, "and that is your bad eye." She then spit in my "bad" eye and said, "Now I am getting your bad eye wet." I told her that if she spit on me again, I would have to look at her with my bad eye, and needless to say, a few seconds later, I was looking at her with the bad eye.

About a week ago, KB went to the bathroom and was talking to Swifty while she was going. This is what she said, "Dropping a load makes your tummy feel better, that is why I still have the coughs". I wasn't quite able to follow the logic behind her statement.

Keeping in mind KB was just told she could not watch a movie because it was Sunday, she said to me, "Mom sometimes it's not Sunday!"

Buster's New Tricks

Talks like Crazy, his favorite phrase is "No MAMA", he likes it so much he tries it out in different voices.

More new tricks... Buster can now bark like a dog (although it sounds more like Tim Allen's grunting on Home Improvement), bop his lips like a fish, growl like a tiger, say dayers, in reference to his big sis., he runs, and loves to tease us. He also says dace for me to dance with him. He must have things a certain way and until he talks better we are not quite sure what that way is. Hopefully we will know soon.
