ME, TRYING TO HELP JACK WITH HIS MATH THIS MORNING:
Me: Let's pretend you have two socks.
Jack: But I have two socks.
Me: Okay, then. So now let's pretend you need five.
Jack: Why would I need five socks?
Me: I don't know, you just do.
Jack: *gives me a weird look*
Me: Fine. You grew three new legs overnight, and now you need three more socks.
Jack: *stares down at his legs* I don't get it mom, where would the legs grow out of? This is a super creepy question. I mean would they come out of my side? Or my butt? Or my knees? *he twists around* or maybe out of here... I don't get it. And how would I get five shoes? They sell shoes in pairs. There are so many problems with this.
Me: I'm trying to help you with your math.
Jack: Can you do it in a different way? Please? I'm all creeped out by my new legs.
Me: Fair enough.

Emma made honor choir this year, and gets to take two days off of school before her concert Friday night. FUN!!
Jack's pinewood derby was tonight. He won easy last year, this year wasn't quite as spectacular, but his friend Ryder came with us, which made it a little extra fun for everyone. Lots of singing to Imagine Dragons happened on the drive home.
Jolene and Emma are gearing up for the week-long trip to Utah.
We're all getting excited about heading out to WAJEMJACHA!
Jolene finished up her stint as the Writer in Residence at APU :-)
