fun stuff

i stitched up a cute little carry bag. our ward has ten babies coming before the end of the year. oops, 11 (someone is having twins). so i am busy making bags. they are turning out really cute. even Greg thinks so. that's saying something. hehe. this one is green and winnie the poohish colors. so today Mckay really wanted some cheddar cheese sunchips. i told him they cost $4 and that we needed to wait until we paid for the sod and dirt we ordered. Well, he set about finding $4 around the house. went right to my wallet and found a dollar. hehe. he was excited then cause he also found 40 cents on the floor he says. he showed me his money and I asked where he got it all. he admitted to getting the dollar from my wallet. good little boy. he is awesome. honesty is a good thing. anyway, he still didn't have enough. so he waited patiently for dad and the minute he got home he had him talked into going to the store to get some chips. mckay knows about those cards that work like money. haha. well, that was easy cause greg is a sucker for a kid who knows what he wants and gives greg an excuse to walk with them. so, mom's idea about waiting to get the sod was easily solved. They went to the store and mckay was happy as could be. he took his backpack and carried the chips all the way home.

On the way mckay said this is just a walk, not a hike. Then when they got to the store Greg complimented Mckay for walking all the way and asked if it felt like a hike and Mckay said oh no. a hike is much longer. you have to take a plane to get there and it's in Australia. haha.

Saydi was in the spelling bee. she was the first one out. she was nervous and spelled pretty, preety. she played hopscotch afterwards outside and was a really good jumper. then she chased her friend sidney around the playground for a while. these kids are cute!!

Jaden read The Cat in the hat today. she just repeated what I said, but she stuck with it for several pages. then she told her dad that she can read. its cute. she really wants to read like mckay. it'll happen.

Chandler is working on a weaving project. a bag for me. it's turning out nicely.
