Alana likes to wander at night. I don't know if she does it in her sleep, or if she is awake, but we keep finding her asleep in some very strange places. It finally occurred to us to start taking pictures of this phenomenon. My mom finds this hilarious, since I did the same thing at this age. She never knew where she would find me in the morning. You know, it is very interesting the things our kids get from us. Who would have thought? At any rate, we have found Alana in our room, in the dinning room, under the dinning room table, on the bathroom floor, outside the bathroom, etc.

Kaleb and Alana had their well-checks at the doctors this last week. They are, of course, healthy and active kids. Kaleb is in the 36% percentile for height, and the 40% for weight. Alana is in the 92% for her height, and 80% for her weight. Yep, he is really short, she is really tall. This much we knew, since they are almost in the same size of clothes already. I thought it was really interesting that they also do the kids BMI's now. I guess it makes sense because so many kids are overweight. My kids are definately not in that category. All three kids got shots, (Jaylee got her flu shot) which was great fun. Next time I am bringing reinforcements with me. Trying to console three screaming kids while hurrying out the door was not fun. Although I think the girls would have calmed down faster is Kale hadn't been crying so hard.

The flu shot made all three kids sick. Yeah, fun. So not only did I have crabby kids from getting shots, the next day they all got sick. Hmmm. Was it really worth it? I really hope they don't get sick for the rest of the year, but that isn't too practical. Anyways, the picture was of the kids snuggling on the couch having a pajama day.

Kid Quotes

I thought I'd take a few minutes and post some of the kids funny quotes of late. Pictures will have to wait until later. Our computer is quite delicate at the moment. We are working on the problem. So here we go, I hope these bring a smile. :o)

Kale: "Who's babysittering us today?"
Me: "No one."
Kale: "Why not? Okay, here's the plan, you call someone to babysitter us, and then you leave."

Alana: "Mommy, why do you run everyday when it's cold and dark?"
Me: "Because it makes mommy happy and keeps me in shape."
Alana: "Oh. Do you get lost?"

Daddy: "Did you thank mommy for cooking dinner?"
Kale: "No, 'cause Mom cooks yucky stuff. Can I have candy?"

Kale: "okay mom, here's the deal, (this is one of his favorite sayings right now). While I am at school, you clean the house, and if you do a good job, you can take me to Happy Meal!"

Jaylee: "Lily, (her frog) has stinks. Lily stinks.
Me: "Does Lily have stinks? Or Jaylee?"
Jaylee: "lily diaper"

Alana: in the Target lingerie department, very loudly, "oh, these are nice boobs! (holding up a large bra to her chest, turning in circles posing) I like these boobs! They're really pretty boobs. Can you buy these for me? I like these boobs. (there were a lot of chuckles from other women at this point)
