Our Little Life: Did I Really...

Did I Really...

spend 3 hours creating this flyer?

THREE HOURS?!? I could have been doing how many other things? Including paying attention to my children.

Anyway, I am the one in charge of collecting these three things and turning them in for lots of cash for our elementary school! It is awesome. I love getting free money -- especially if it is for our school! I hope none of you will ever throw away any of these without thinking..."should I really be throwing this away? It would be just like throwing real money away. I should give this to my neighborhood school." Alright you may not think this but it is kind of true. Ever since I started this I can't throw a package away without checking for the box top or campbell's label. (Jenn L. I know you feel my pain.) I wish I could be this conciencious about keeping my house clean.

Quotables

It is a beautiful day golfing until Matt hits a long drive into the trees. Jake looks at him and says, "way to chop some lumber Dad".
Jake to Dad after Claire stormed out of the room because she thought something wasn't fair: "Claire only cares about two things. Air pollution and fairness."
Matthew to Dad: "I've got ears like a hawk!"
Kate to Mom after a few minutes of listening to NPR in the car. "Mom, can we change the station? All this talking gives me a headache."
Jake to Mom totally out of the blue with a HUGE smile on his face..."I don't like shrimp but I like cherries"
After Dad told the four kids they had 5 minutes to finish folding laundry, Claire said: "Dad, there is no way we can do it in 5 minutes." Dad replied, "You can too. There are 4 of you. I could do it all myself in 5 minutes." Claire's retort: "Yeah, but we are kids and we don't like to work."
Jake to Mom, while touching her not-recently shaved leg: "Mom, your leg feels like thorns."
Matthew to Dad. "Your breath stinks. It smells like blue cheese -- or did I just fart?"
Claire to Dad, while Dad is cleaning out the wheelbarrow, which was full of stinky, stagnated water: "Dad, you know what would be great? If they made wheelbarrow freshener."
Claire, when discussing where to eat dinner: "Mom, I really want the 'F-word.'" Amanda (alarmed): "What?" Claire: "You know, 'fries.'"
Matthew: "Dad, did you know that a sprain is worse than a break? ... Unless you break your nuts."
Dad: "Kate, why don't you like jeans? Jeans are the most comfortable pants on Earth." Kate: "No, jazz pants are the most comfortable pants on Earth." Dad: "I stand corrected."
Dad, while walking kids to school their first week: "What could be better than walking kids to school on this beautiful, cool morning?" Kate: "Lagoon. Lagoon would be better." Dad: "No way. This is better." Claire: "Nope. Lagoon. Lagoon would definitely be better."
