Daegan Does His Homework

Daegan does his homework independantly. He is so serious and so cute.

Out of the Mouth of Babes

Daegan had some sort of profound or just funny things to say tonight, so I thought I would jot them down so that I wouldn't forget his 5 year old cuteness.  First, when I was reading from our latest novel, "The People of Sparks", and I asked the kids if they understood what ignorant meant, it took Daegan about half a second to pipe in explain to Emma and Noah that ignorant is when you don't know something.  I am beginning to wonder if he has been called ignorant before or if he just really understood the word based on what I was reading.  

Later, when I was tucking him in for the night and laying in his bed with him I asked him what he thought he wanted to be when he is all grown up. So, very matter of fact he says, "I'm not sure, but Noah read my palm and said I'm going to be a video game maker."  I had to keep from laughing because he was so serious and now I want to know where Noah learned about the art of palm reading!

A few minutes after the palm reading comment, I think he is almost asleep and I am planning my exit from his bed when he suddenly says, "Hey Mom, I have a great idea.  Next time we go fishing, we should get some of the food that they have at the fish hatchery and throw it in the water.  I bet a lot of fish would swim up real quick and then we could catch one."

What goes on in the little brain of this 5 year old, I will never know.  I just think he's the smartest kindergartner on the planet. :)

Snip, Snip, Sew, Sew

I just love how excited my kids get when I come home with fabric for them to get busy with.  Today I bought 12 yards for $12 and I have a feeling that we will have lots of little ghost puppets for Halloween this year.

Just Too Tired

Daegan has a hard time waking once he falls asleep. He also drinks a lot of water at night. He is one sweaty kid and so it is hard to keep him hydrated. The other night we tried to get him to go to the bathroom after he had fallen asleep while reading a book. He was awake when he sat down and then I went back to check on him after he didn't come out. It turns out he was asleep and snoring! I ended up taking a video that is very funny. I gently woke him and he was a little mad.
