We were in the car on the way to the babysitter's this morning when the following conversation happened:

micah: There's the cows mom. Look they are real little, but some are real big. Look! Those are far away. Dad... I mean Mom, When I'm a horse-rider, I mean cow-rider, I'm going to get the milk out of the cows too.

me: oh.

micah: Does it hurt when we squeeze the milk out of their bottoms?

me: No, it doesn't hurt if you do it right.

micah: But I don't know how to do it. Who will teach me? You can teach me.

me: I can't teach you because I don't know how to do it. You know our friends Ray and Di Ann that we visited a long time ago? They could probably teach you. They live on a farm.

micah: Or Emily Yeung could teach me.

4:30...

...is the time Micah woke up on Wednesday (my day off).
...is the time Micah woke up on Thursday (both of us had the day off)
...is the time Micah woke up on Friday (again, day off). We spent the night at Ryan's folks house after Thanksgiving but Micah still opted for his inhumane early wake-up. Luckily there was something we could do. SHOPPING!!! So Micah and I got dressed and braved the elements and were at Fred Meyer by 5:15 this morning. People at the store would say, "Did your mom get you up early to go shopping this morning?" If only... I replied with a simple, "Finally, there's something to do when he gets up at 4:30." Today we are setting up Christmas. Its pretty fun. Amelia knew exactly which ornament was hers because it was the only thing pink on the tree. She's pretty excited about all the decorations. I'll post pictures soon.

Mom always said...

"If you don't have something nice to say, don't say anything at all."

-That's why I haven't blogged.

Here are some pictures that I tried to post earlier in the fall:
