We've watched Newsies... the awesome Disney musicalish movie for the last few days. I must admit I dont mind when the boys want to watch it. I love singing along, and enjoy watching the boys dance so structured, yet it doesnt look weird for all these boys to be dancing. I guess its manly dancing. I then have the songs in my head all day.. sometimes Camden does too!
If you havent watched the movie, I would suggest it strongly.
Last night at dinner, Camden said " Mom thanks for cooking.. this looks great". I could of jumped over the counter and kissed that boy who has a hard time eating his dinner most nights. It was homemade chicken noodle soup. I told him that what he said made my heart happy. Our family home evening lesson was on saying nice things and how special that made me feel. Two nights in a row he has eaten his dinner. Case on the other hand has no problem finishing his food. I feel like we constantly have to fight with Camden to finish, or even start.. How many more bites he says... ??? So maybe we have come to a new chapter in our dinner events... or maybe not.. but for now momma is happy!
Blades is working 12 hour days all week. All the offices are doing it, and it should be interesting. I am finding the days are going pretty fast. Although its only Tuesday.. by Friday I might change my mind.
Thats all the fun thats happening around here. Just carpet cleaned some of the carpet that had a big stain and it looks as if it came out. wohoo! Dishes are done, laundry is done and the kids are about to go take a nap.. ( they don't know yet)...they are quietly watching some cartoon that is probably dementing thier minds while I blog... Happy Nappy!
One more thing.. this is pretty funny.. There is a Rascal Flats songs that talks about " when you play a country song backwards".. the kids love it.. they call it the fast song... and want to hear it each time we get in the car.... they know all the words and even pretend to play the violin during the bridge of the song... anyway in it.. it says they spell out the word... C...R..A...P.. ( cause you get all that stuff back when you play a country song backwards...) Camden always asks what that spells.. We just would tell him "fish" like carp...Well yesterday during a ride home from a much needed Coke run ( the fountain kind) He again asked what that spelled. ( preschool is teaching him lots.. he loves to spell and figure out what things sound like).. I said its fish.. He said Ccccccc.... Mom theres no " f" in it.. Dang he caught me.. I had to spill the beans... I explained that the word is crap... he said " Mom.. you've been lying to me the whole time?" we both laughed.. and now he knows the real way to spell crap... yeah for me..
We got two tubs of noise putty at the dollar section at Walmart... It makes farting noises and man are the kids loving it. Its pretty funny. We all got a great laugh at it. They are learning how to manuever the putty and tub just right to make the ideal sound.. Thanks walmart!

On the rare occasion that Ephraim says he likes dinner, it always makes my heart full and happy too.
Is this the old Newsies, or a new one?
Great Post! I smiled and laughed all the way through it. I love that I have Camden in my primary class. I can picture perfectly him saying and doing everything you describe in your posts. I need to watch Newsies...it's been a while.
Cute kiddos! You have me totally wanting to watch Newsies now. I LOVE that show. I have it on VHS--I think I know what we're watching later today during "quiet time". I won't be able to spell out gifts much anymore because Haley figures it out. She's getting a B I K E for her birthday. She's trying to figure out what a Bik is. Kids are so fun!
Love NEWSIES its one of my Favorites too and soon to be Bryan's and the girls too though they don't know it yet. The Easter bunny is bringing it. Maybe the dinner /eating thing is and oldest child syndrome, though I can't remember whenever I'v ehad a problem eating. LOL Anyway my Nicole has to be coaxed, proded, and pushed to eat. Karlie, like me, has no issues with food. Loved the spelling lesson, sounds like fish hit the fan at your house. :) Love ya,
