It was too rainy to go jeeping like we wanted plus the kids have been sick so we mostly just relaxed.?? Tanner finally broke his fever on Wed.?? Good grief that was a long high fever &#8211; it went 7 full days.?? Ty now has a really junky cough but no fever.?? Thought I would share a few funnies from the week and show you some pictures.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tanner<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>As you might recall from December conversations, we are not bonded to Santa in this family.?? I was concerned last month about converations with Tanner and Noah.?? The believer and the unbeliever.?? They never happened and I never said a word about it one way or the other.?? Boy was I in for a surprise.<\/p>\n<p>One day last week I was loading the boys into the car.?? Tanner mentioned something about Santa out of the blue.?? Rare.?? Here was our conversation:<\/p>\n<p>D = Tanner do you think Santa is real?<\/p>\n<p>T = Uh huh (yes)<\/p>\n<p>D = You do??? Hmmmmm.?? (With a smile and a sparkle because I just couldn&#8217;t resist this question..) If you believe in Santa, how come he doesn&#8217;t bring you any gifts at Christmas???<\/p>\n<p>T = (Looking at me with a &#8220;duh &#8211; you should know&#8221; expression)?? It&#8217;s too hot here!<\/p>\n<p>LOL!!!!!?? I shut my mouth and didn&#8217;t say another word.?? Guess he has it all figured out.<\/p>\n<p>??<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ty??<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>How will you be paying?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Funny the things kids pay attention to.?? Recently, mom was in the kitchen with Dusty and Dusty was paying her back some money he had borrowed.?? Ty walks in, see&#8217;s the exchange, and say&#8217;s &#8220;You payin wif cash?&#8221;.?? LOL!??<\/p>\n<p><strong>Attention Deficit and Agenda Difference&#8217;s<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Sometimes Ty and I are an impossible combination.?? We both struggle to keep our attention together and we both think our agenda&#8217;s need priority.?? This recent bedtime conversation will illustrate this well.?? This conversation took place while Tanner was sick and Ty wasn&#8217;t sure Tanner should be getting preferential treatment \ud83d\ude09 .<\/p>\n<p>T = Can I sleep in your bed?<\/p>\n<p>D = No. You are sleeping in your crib.?? Do you want your socks on?<\/p>\n<p>T = Is Tanner sleeping in your bed?<\/p>\n<p>D = I don&#8217;t know.?? Do you want your socks on?<\/p>\n<p>T = Is Tanner going to sleep in your room?<\/p>\n<p>D = I said I don&#8217;t know.?? Do you want your socks on?<\/p>\n<p>T = Is Tanner going to sleep in your bed??? Is he gonna sleep in your room?<\/p>\n<p>D = TY!?? My agenda comes first!?? What did mama just ask you?<\/p>\n<p>T = Do I want my socks on.<\/p>\n<p>D= Well DO YOU?<\/p>\n<p>T = Yes.?? Is Tanner going to sleep in your bed?<\/p>\n<p>Shhhhheeeeeeshh!!!!!<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Truth<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>On Tuesday, when we got home from BSF, we sat down for lunch with Daddy.?? Jim and Ty begin discussing Ty&#8217;s day.?? Here is how that played out.<\/p>\n<p>J = Did you have a good time at BSF today?<\/p>\n<p>T = Yep<\/p>\n<p>J = Did you play with friends?<\/p>\n<p>T = Yep<\/p>\n<p>J = Did you play with toys?<\/p>\n<p>T = Yep<\/p>\n<p>J = Did you sing songs?<\/p>\n<p>T = Yep<\/p>\n<p>J = Did you hear a story about Jesus?<\/p>\n<p>T??= Yep<\/p>\n<p>J = Did you obey your teacher?<\/p>\n<p>T = Yep<\/p>\n<p>J = Did she say anything to you today?<\/p>\n<p>T = Yep.?? She said &#8220;<strong>HEY!?? WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>And then Jim and I looked at each other laughing hilariously quite certain Ty was telling the whole truth. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p><strong>Does anyone know the Turtle song?<\/strong>??<\/p>\n<p>Ty keeps trying to sing the song about the little turtle but I don&#8217;t know it.??
