Funny Things I Have Done or Said Lately

Mom told me to go get in my pajamas.  I was pretty distracted, so the 5th time she asked me she said, "Nathan, if I see your little bum one more time without pajamas on, I am going to spank it."  So I ran out of the room, but then ran right back in and turned and shook my bum at her.

-

I was heading to my room, but not watching where I was going so I face planted into the wall.  I cried and cried.  Mom comforted me, and then sent me on my original task.  I still was crying a little bit when I was walking away.  I noticed Mom was watching me so I pretended to run into the wall again, and busted up laughing.

Lately when I eat an apple I get the seeds out and make Dad help me plant them in the back.

-

Every morning I climb into bed with Mom and snuggle with her.  Well one day she had bad morning breath, so I went and got her toothbrush,  climbed back into bed, and brushed her teeth.

-

 We went on  hike at Pickett's Mill Battlefield.  There were trails made by Eagle Scouts.  I asked what the sign said and Dad told me that an Eagle Scout made this trail.  "Does that mean this trail is for birds?"

-

I am pretty excited for the baby.  I like to talk to her.  However, I think I have to open Mom's mouth and talk into it to talk to her.

-

Mom said I was in charge of teaching the baby her body parts when she gets bigger.  I got a big grin on my face and pointed to my eyes and said, "Baby, these are elbows."  I am going to teach her wrong.

-

"What's the Spanish word for burrito?"

-

I have a can that I save my money in now.  I wanted to buy a toy.  Mom said I could earn money by setting the table.  I told her no thanks.  I would rather just walk around and find money.  (Because that is what I do.  Don't leave any spare change laying around, or I put it in my can.)

-

Dad and I go swimming almost everyday.  Well Dad got a sunburn because he didn't put on sunscreen.  I lectured him for a good five minutes.  "Dad you made a bad choice.  You need to listen to Mom and put sunscreen on.  That is a good choice.  Promise me Dad you will make better choices.  Promise me."

-

I learned about keeping the Sabbath Day holy at church.  When the next door neighbor and his dad came over on Sunday and asked me if I could go swimming (it was Sunday), I gave them a lecture about how we don't go swimming on Sunday.  Sunday is special.

-

 My goal in life is to go on a spaceship.  Mom said I have to be really smart to go on a spaceship and go to college.  "Did Dad get to go on a spaceship after he went to college?"

-

Once again the spaceship conversation came up.  "I can go on a spaceship now because I am a genius."  Mom asked me if I knew what a genius was.  "Mom, it means I know everything."

Fishing with Grandpa Jeff

 I don't know who was more excited about going fishing, me or Grandpa.  He took me two times while I was visiting.  No girls were allowed.  These pictures were taken when Mom came to get me.  I caught two fish.  We threw them back in.  I was disappointed about that.  I wanted to cook 'em and eat 'em.

As you can tell, the ducks stayed close by.  I would feed them quite often with my picnic food.

Easter Egg Hunt at Great Grandma's

 Grandma Norma had an Easter egg hunt.  That's three I got to go to!  Here are some of the great-grandkids.

Easter at Grandma's

The Easter Bunny came to Grandma's.  I found where it was right away. 

 There was money in the eggs to put in my new savings can.

 Grandma had planned an Easter egg hunt that would have filled the buckets of 20 kids.

 When we dyed eggs, I thought it would be fun to put three color tablets into one cup.
