Scattered Thoughts

1. Kate told me, "Know what I want mostest when I grow up?"
"What?" I asked.
"I want longer arms so I can do all the things in gym class!"
Poor thing! She has inherited my short arms, while her brothers have their dad's extra long monkey arms. I was hoping our kids would get genes from both of us and have average arms, but no such luck.

2. At the beginning of the summer, Gavin was about one inch shorter than me. Now - one inch taller than me! What! How can he be taller than me already?

3. Last night I heard Enoch tell Kate, "Let's go downstairs and be beavers and put our dam skills to work." Okay, I know I shouldn't, but I laughed so hard. When Greg gave me the 'I can't believe you are laughing at that' look (while he too was laughing), I said, "I've lived with kitties and tigers for years now. I'm relieved the kids have some dam skills."

And our little beavers were busy. They built a blanket dam, which was eventually overcome with a flash flood.

Love these scattered thoughts! This one brightened my day and made me laugh out loud! Who else, but Enoch, would be speaking of dam skills (and referencing actual skills used to build a dam)?? Ya gotta love him! :-)
