Levi and Nate saw a planet

Levi-ism

Levi-isms

A few Levi phrases from this week...
- In the car, as we drove by something smelly: "It smells like egg fingers in here!"
- When he saw me watering the grass, I told him it helps the grass grow. "But Daddy doesn't want the grass to grow!" he said. I asked, "He doesn't?" "No, he doesn't. He's always cutting it!"
- "I just got wedgied by myself!"
- Levi's favorite song on the radio is Awake and Alive by Skillet. (Funny side note: when we are listening to the Christian radio station in the car, I've noticed Nate tends to like the rap-type songs, and Levi always likes the "hard rock.") I told him the name of the song and band yesterday, and then later that night asked if he remembered the band name. He thought for a minute... "Spill It!"

Wednesday night check in

Hi

Well hello there. I am here to write a post because I love my Nannie and I know she visits this blog every day.

Life has been busy lately. As any mom with school-age children must already know, it's a big transition to "school life." While the days of babies and toddlers are long, tiring, patience-trying, exhausting, and busy in their own way, transitioning to life with school-age kids means a different kind of "daily grind." The morning rush. Much more mileage on the car. Much more "needing to be places." I am glad we at least don't have multiple activities outside of school and church. (Even if each of our kids had just one sport or activity, it would be too much driving, too much schedule, too much money for me! As they get older that will probably change.) Also, since Levi still isn't in school, I'm only halfway to experiencing the perks of this stage of life, too (easy errand running, quiet mornings, etc.).

Speaking of Levi being in school, though, I do think he'll be starting his first year of kindergarten in the fall! (Journey School does two years of kindergarten, so this first year would be kind of like junior kindergarten.) He will be so excited. :)
