Conversations with the Sander Kiddos

I was going shopping yesterday with Jake and Ruth and kiddos. As we were headed to Houghton Lake (30mins away), I realized I had forgotten my purse. Well...instead of going shopping I will just enjoy the fun fellowship with them. Oh, just so you know, Cara just turned 5, Desirae will be 4 next week and Tyler is 2. Anyway, here are some of the conversations we had:

Desirae: Miss Jenny, are you old enough to have your own gum?
Me: Yup
Desirae: Oh...How much gum can you have?
Me: How much ever is in the pack
Desirae: Oh...
Cara: Oh yeah because you are a 4 and a 2.
Me: What? How old am I Cara?
Cara: That's right you're 40...I mean 42.
Me: Really??? No silly...I am 24...change the numbers around.
Cara: That's old!!!

It is dark as we are traveling back at night.

Tyler: Miss Jenny I can't see you....
Me: That is because it is dark out. I am right here Tyler.
Tyler: Hey Miss Jenny! If you walk in da wada you fall in da wada.
Me: Really?
Tyler: Yeah, be carfo
Me: Ok...I will

Tyler (shouting): Miss Jenny I can't see you!!!!!
Me: I am right here Tyler...watch as that car passes then you can see me.
Tyler: K....I see you!!!
Me: Yeah...isn't that cool!!

Me: Tyler....where are you???? I can't see you...Tyler!!!
Tyler...shh I here Miss Jenny...I here. See me?

Tyler: Miss Jenny!!!!!! Look...I see da hang mail moon.
Me: You do? Where? That is not a hang nail moon...that is a banana moon.
Cara: No, it is none of those. It is a fingernail moon.

These kids are so much fun!! I love them...they keep me laughing.




Well...today was a half day and I was very excited that my kids finished all of their work. Praise the Lord!!! One of the students in my class is the the niece to the people I rent from. Anyway, since Aunt Emily could not have Abby over and her sister went to someones. She asked if she could come to my house. How could I say no?? I wasn't going anywhere. So, Abby came over for the afternoon. I told her that she should feel special because she is the first person to come and see me. Other plans that I had of having company fell through. She thought that was cool. I told her usually I would just have a sandwich for lunch but since I had a special guest I would make lunch for her. We had pasta, chicken nuggets (kids favorite) and Pineapple. After lunch we played UNO for quite a while. It was a lot of fun. I enjoyed having her.
