Like a pizza!

Craig: grandpa we'll be there in half a minute!
Me: how long is that Craig?
Craig: well let's see... (Becomes deep in thought.)
Me: think about it how many seconds is a minute? Let's work it out.
Craig: Wait! 30!
Me: 30 what? (surprised).
Craig: Seconds! 30 seconds because, see I knew that 3+3 = 6. So if a minute is 60 seconds Then I just take one of the 3's away and I'm left with 30 seconds. I just chopped it right in half, just like a pizza! (then he emphasized his his point by slashing his arm through the air.)

Me: (after recovering from the pizza comment) um wow! Totally wasn't expecting that. But, that's my boy! Such a little smarty!

Inspiration from my 5 yr old

As I was tucking Craig in to bed tonight he told me how one night he couldn't find the blue flashlight that he sleeps with (the small keychain kind. He usually has it propped up shining on a small picture of the temple and K.C. and I on our wedding day. He always sleeps with it like that right next to his pillow. He says it's to help him not be scared and so he'll always feel like we're with him. SO cute!) anyways he was telling me how he couldn't find the flashlight and then... Every time he pushed on his blanket, or moved, it would light up! (Static electricity?)

Then he stopped and very thoughtfully said. "Mom it was a miracle! A miracle just for me so that I wouldn't be scared! Did you know that a miracle can happen any day? It doesn't have to be the second coming, (pause) or when you're born, it can just happen any day, any time, right when you need it. That's because Heavenly Father loves us. Good night mom! I love you up to the moon and back infinity times!"

Good reminder.

Grandma is nice

Look! What we got was grandma's idea! I didn't even think of it but she did. It's great to have a Grandma as nice as mine!

Ticket

We were driving and saw a sheriff
Craig said "well better watch out I'm heard about sheriffs, lots of times!"
"oh really? What have you heard?"
"that if you go faster than the speed limit they'll pull you over and give you a ticket. "

A little while later Craig was cracking up "mom do you want to know it's so funny? "
"Yeah Craig "
"If the tickets that a cop gave out when he pulled you over were tickets for Disneyland then we would want to get tickets all the time! We would just go zooming everywhere we went!"

It'll happen to you Jason

Jason someday you'll get the AIR knocked out of you! But I hope it's on something weaker than metal or wood. Maybe dirt would be good because dirt is weaker than metal and wood.

(Jason starts to cry)

Jason it's okay it won't really hurt. I did get an owie but it was just a little owie. Oh and it'll make your voice sound really weird too. But you'll be ok.
