Good Things from Bad Things

Tyson — Mon, 03 Oct 2011 14:58:39 +0000

This weekend my oldest daughter (9 years old) received an email from one of her friends. In the email, her friend said she felt very sad for my daughter because her parents are divorced. My daughter responded back that she didn’t need to feel sad for her. She learned long ago that usually when bad things happen, good things can come from it. I asked her what she meant by that and she said “Now I have Ashley and my little brother and that is a good thing that came from a bad thing”. Ashley and I looked at each other with such pride in the girl that is growing up before us.

My Dad

I found this is Craft Girl’s backpack over the weekend. Made me feel really good about what I am doing for my family.

Pregnant Too?

Tonight Ashley was telling me that her Mom had just purchased a high chair for the baby. Chicken Nugget was listening and immediately asked “Wait! Grammy is pregnant too!?”

100th Day of School

On the 100th day of school “Chicken Nugget’s” teacher asked everyone what they would do if they were given $100 dollars. Chicken Nugget responded that she would give it to the Church. She makes me so proud.

Jello Hair

My daughter was telling me on the way to school today about a conversation she had with one of her friends at school. She had asked her friend if she knew who I was. Her friend replied with a “I think so. Isn’t he the one that has sort of spikey hair?” My daughter responded “Yes. He puts jello in it. Not really sure why.”

At that point I got to explain to her the difference between gel and jello.

More Kidism’s

Chicken Nugget:

Am I ever going to get to play with that stuff in storage or am I just going to have to let my kids play with it?

Chicken Nugget and I were playing the “I Love You More Than….” game. I told her that I loved her more than all the hairs on my head. She responded with:

Oh Dad! That’s not very much!

Craft Girl:

Dad. Do you have one of those six packs yet? (referring to my stomach) No? How many more years do you think it will take?

Take Your Kids To Work Day

Tyson — Fri, 21 May 2010 02:46:46 +0000

Craft girl brought this home the other day. She said she did it a few months back before this years Take Your Kids To Work Day. I thought it was cute and wanted to share it.

Google

Tonight Craft Girl was asking me a whole bunch of questions like she always does. Tonight’s subject of choice was Noah’s Ark. She kept telling me all about it. Apparently she had seen Evan Almighty and knew all about Noah’s Ark. I told her some more interesting facts and that peaked her interest even more. She proceeded to move onto Ashley with her question asking. At one point she turns to Ashley and asks her if she could get on the computer and Google it. My jaw about hit the floor. My little girl has just asked for her first Google query! I am so proud of her! I can’t believe how fast kids grow up these days.

Top top it off. Ashley was showing both girls something on her laptop. Apparently not fast enough for Chicken Nugget as she reaches over, works the track pad effortlessly, and clicks on what she wants to see. Ashley sat there, amazed at how quickly and fluidly she was able to handle the laptop mouse pad. Kids these days are so smart!

Mall at the Church?

Tyson — Tue, 13 Apr 2010 16:38:56 +0000

This weekend we attended an evening mass with some friends at The Church of the Resurrection in Overland Park. Upon walking into the building, Chicken Nugget looks around and explains “This isnt a church, this is a mall. Why are we at the mall? I thought we were going to church”. Upon walking into the sanctuary, she then asks “are we going to see a concert?”

Make-up Classess

Tyson — Wed, 24 Feb 2010 15:12:29 +0000

The girls were going to miss dance class last night because of unforeseen circumstances so I told them they needed to do a make-up class. Chicken Nugget piped up from the back and told me she didn’t need a make-up class because she already has make-up and doesn’t need anymore.
