One of my dad’s favorite winter activities to do for the grandkids is to haul them around on a toboggan behind his tractor. Since we’ve had so much snow this winter (for fake), my dad takes the kids tobogganing when we only get just an inch or two of snow.
That happened back in January…and we all headed to Grandpa’s. Carson wasn’t a fan of tobogganing, especially after he fell off the toboggan on the first turn.

Like a Polaroid Picture
When I have to shake the kids inhalers for them to do them, I sometimes sing “shake it like a polaroid picture”, from that Outkast song “Hey Ya” (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PWgvGjAhvIw – about the 4 minute mark)
The other morning I was shaking his apple/prune juice (poor kid hadn’t pooped in four days!) and he – without prompting – said this (obviously this is a re-enactment, but I promise you he said it on his own the first time):
Mallory’s New Song
Mallory came home from school yesterday and asked if I wanted to hear the song that her friend Emma taught to her and Laci.
We literally had TEARS rolling out of our eyes.
(And whenever Mallory finishes singing this to us, Carson starts with a real version of Jingle Bells…)
Abstrapt
Mallory came home with this in her backpack today. I asked her what it was.
She said it was “abstrapt art”.
The Boys
Went into Mallory’s room this morning to wake her up.
She rolled over and asked sleepily: “Are the boys up?”
I told her one of the boys was, the biggest one.
She asked if the 6-yr old boy was up.
Took me a minute to realize she was talking about Cooper.
