Levi-isms

• Jon and I overheard Levi playing with a new Lego policeman who came with accessories like hand cuffs, motorcycle, etc.: "Now I'm going to put the hand cups on you, bad guy!"
• The kids and I were talking about the ten plagues in Old Testament Egypt, and we described the water turning to blood. Lucy said, incredulous, "Who would want to drink blood?!" and Levi answered, quickly: "Mosquitoes!"
• Jon was watching a basketball game between Oklahoma City and Memphis. Levi said, "I'm not cheering for Menthis."
• New one to add 5/31/14: "Mom, are you wearing glip gloss?"

Nate's class play

Jon and I went to the first performance of Nate's class play, "Noah's Ark," this morning. In the third grade at this school, students learn about "Hebrew Stories"--so even though this is a public school, they read about the Old Testament.

Nate was Noah in the play! Here's a video:

Nine

I missed posting about Nate's birthday. This guy turned 9 twelve days ago. We went for smoothies after school on the actual day, and for dinner, he asked for steak, sweet potato rounds, and plantain chips. Then we had family over on Saturday for dinner.  For the party, we had spicy honey chicken, salad, and bread/chips. Nate chose to have two friends (cousin Seth and church friend Sam) sleep over as his "party."

Happy birthday, big guy!
