Child Family: April 2007

Welcome

Hello All -

I've gotten pretty bad with keeping in touch with everyone over the last year or so. I thought this would be a good way to keep you all updated on our family. I'll try to post on a regular basis and include pictures. If you have any suggestions let me know because this is all new to me.

Funny little Evan

Brett was singing "Shine bright like a diamond, shine bright like a diamond" and from the other room Evan sings "Shine bright like a diamond in the sky."
Upon bringing me a brand new pair of pants Evan says, "Can you please put these on sale?" I said, "No Evan we just bought those. Why don't you want them anymore?" He replies, "They don't fit me. They make my hips look big and I don't want to look like that."
I pull up to Evan's first day of Kindergarten and say, "Evan do you want me to walk with you to find your line?" His response, "I know where to go Mom. Room 10. You can just stay here and watch me." :-(
Mom: Evan, why are you wearing your jacket inside? Evan: It's to keep me warm. And doesn't it make me look buff?
Evan: Mom, do you know Gwen? Me: Yes, Gwen Jarvis? Evan: Yes, do you know that when she kissed me it totally ruined my life? (The kissing happened over a year ago and he just mentioned this week that his life was ruined by it.)
Evan to Brett, "Brett, you can be my friend. And you don't even have to pay me."
We were asking all the kids at dinner what nice thing they did for someone that day. Evan responded with "I shared my coloring book with someone." I told him how nice that was and asked him who it was that he shared with. His response, "No one."
Kendall tooted and Evan turned to her and said, "Wow Kendall, that was impressive."
Adam screamed and threw a fit inside the house for over 30 minutes. I got his shoes, socks & coat (1 arm at least) on, and successfully buckled him into his carseat. Evan turned to me and said, "Mommy, you have sweet skills."
