Our Family Of Six: Crazy Hair Day

Crazy Hair Day

To our elementary school kids, crazy hair day equates to using colored hair spray. Since we were out of craft wire to fashion K's hair in her usual tribute to Pippi Longstocking with crazy braids, we googled "Crazy Hair Day." We copied some clever ideas....our sweet cupcake and feathered crazy hair. Thank you, Google. :)

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."
