Name that Character

On the last day of "Reading Week" at the school, students were encouraged to dress as their favorite book character. M knew which character she would be immediately, Hermoine.

K couldn't quite make up her mind. In the end, she went as Little Red Riding Hood.

J dressed as the peddler in the book, Caps For Sale. This book is a family favorite. I highly recommend this silly tale. Our kids like to act it out. "tsz, tsz, tsz."

Here they are with some of their friends that also happened to dress as characters from Harry Potter.

Out of the Mouth of Babes

This conversation happened at Kneaders: "I am going to save the rest of this dessert for later." "You mean, so you can eat it in 5 minutes?"
"I didn't know poop could be so fun." Comments after a junior ranger activity held at Cedar Breaks National Park. The junior rangers were looking through owl scat to discover what the owl had eaten. Their owl ate a small rodent. :)
Overheard while riding in the car with E driving, "Should I be wearing a helmet?" "I'm too young to die."
We were discussing clean language and words to avoid. Someone spoke up and mentioned that they heard a student at school say the "B" word. We asked them to spell the forbidden word: BULK. We quickly told them that word was okay to use.
After a presentation, one of our children told their sibling, "I love you. Now, go sit down."
