funnies

Jason sits in his recliner most of the day. He also sits there for meals. We often eat as a family in the living room for supper now days so that we can be with daddy. The kids love having picnics out there with him. Mark and Amy live with us now (that's for another post!) and the last few evenings Mark, Jason, and Jonas sit in the living room and we girls (Ella, Kate, Amy, and me) sit in our little kitchen eating space. The boys watch basketball and we girls LAUGH- a lot! Last night I was coaxing Kate to finish eating. She only had a few beans left on her plate, but for some reason it was taking her forever to eat! I had told her several times to finish and finally she said in an exasperated voice with her hands up in the air, "Mommy, I'm SURROUNDED by beans!"

Lately Kate has been talking in a funny accent and making up different ways to say things. Yesterday she was adding a "t" to the beginning of our names. She was Tate, Ella was Tella, Jonas was Tonas, I was Tommy, and Aunt Amy was Tant Tamy. She talked like that all night. She's a nut!
