Top Five--August 2010

It's not that we haven't had a busy month.  We have.  It's that I haven't written anything down.  And we all know how atrocious my memory is if I try to write it down after the fact.  It's a curse.  I was born with it.  (But don't tell Zach, because whenever we disagree on what's happened in the past, I tell me that I have a MUCH better memory than he does and so I'm right!)  Without further ado, our top five of the month:

5--Adam:  I'm going to turn you into a fwog.  Kaboom.  KaBOOM!  (Kaboom is his destructive word of choice.  It's what he says when he turns you into something.  And when he traps you.  And when he "shots" you.  Seriously love that kid.)

4--Lucy: If there was a piece of dynamite under the trampoline and you were jumping on it and the dynamite exploded, would you die?  (Thank you "Mythbusters."  It has inspired destructive hypotheses galore from my kids, but at least they've never actually tried out what they want to know.  Unlike a certain nephew who wanted to know if you can pull a bathroom mirror off the wall with a plunger.  You can, by the way.)

3--Kye: You're the best mom in the world!! Except, well, sometimes I don't think that when I'm a little mad at you.

2--Isaac: (When asked about his day at school, which he absolutely loathes having to talk about in the car on the way home)  Ummmmm, it's a secret. 

All righty then. 

(The first day of school definitely made it to the top ten.  The kids were so ready.  That means so was I, even though all this driving might kill me:)

1--Zach and I reached a personal financial goal much earlier than planned and feel pretty dang blessed.
