Professor Pippin??

Can you believe our dog can do Algebra? Neither can we. Doubt if Ashley's teachers would be convinced--only of him eating it.

Never ending yard project....

This is the latest project at Bates Central. Ken is putting in sod on Friday! It will be the best yard on the block soon!! He has worked so hard and I am so proud of him.

Everyday Emilyism

Today while getting ready to make something for lunch, Emily turns to me, hands on hips and asks "Are you going to make good food that I like for lunch?".

Everyday Emilyism

Yesterday Emily got mad at Ashley for something and put her hands on her hips, put her hip out to the side and in a loud voice said " You girl!". Guess she thought that sounded pretty tough and mean.....for a four year old!

Today's Emilyism

Emily was playing a Star Wars game on a gameboy and Ashley and Mom were watching her (she was making really cute faces and noises while she played). She knew she was being watched and looked up at us and said " Why are you both scaring at me?". Quite often someone is scaring at her. Can we help it if she is too cute??!!

Emilyisms:

Emily, age 4, has her own way of describing things.....

At school one day, she asked if she could get a drink. I went to go get her a cup to get some water from the sink and she shook her head no. She asked if she could go get it from the "drinking mountain".

Ask her what the name of someone who might live in an igloo is and she'll tell you an "eksimo".

Playing with her Little People with Phillip one morning, she had the rooster and was making him crow "cluck cluck a doo!".


Again playing with her Little People with Phillip, they had the dollhouse out and Emily told Phillip she was going to push the "ring door" (door bell).

WAY TOO CUTE!!
