from the heart

On the way home from church Wednesday night, Bas said quietly, "I'm only happy when G is happy." We weren't too sure how to answer that, so Steve said "How do you know when G is happy?" And Bas said "Because I can feel it in my heart."

Like father, like son.

Well as you might guess, the kids are selling something for school, yet AGAIN... This time it's "Candy bars." Both kids have a box they are responsible for selling. The first day they got their boxes, Sabastian had quite the dent made already. When Steve asked him where all his money was, Bas pulled out just a few dollar bills. So Steve asks him where the rest of the $ is... Bas answers, "I told the girls they could have credit, but I made the boys pay." Oh man...

Bas wants to be a "Scientist"???

OK - it's a funny story that happened a few months ago, but life's been so busy, I haven't had time to "share" lately...

So we are getting ready for church one Sunday morning, and Sabastian is in the shower, taking his sweet time.. and out of the blue says, "I know what I'm gonna be when I grow up" - so daddy takes the bait and asks "what?"... Bas replies "I'm gonna be a Scientist because I finally figured out what 100 + 100 really is... it's 1,000." Steve said "Bas, what is 1 + 1?" Bas answers "Duh, 2." Steve says "How can 1'hundred' plus 1'hundred' be 1'thousand' then?"... Bas replies "uh, hellooooo? Who's the scientist in this household?"

You gotta love it.

Valentine boxes ("I can do all things... with my hot glue gun")

Sabastian's "RAZORBACK BOX" (Don't laugh, it's not easy to make a Hog)

Savannah's "LION BOX"

Marri's "MICROPHONE BOX"
Mason's "TWILIGHT BOOK BOX"

Well that's 4 out of 5 boxes done... I actually have to take a box to work Friday. I'm thinking a grocery bag at this point. I'm tired!

Bas the basketball player!

WOW I am so proud of Sabastian! He made his first basket today and ended up scoring 6 points!!!! After he made each one, he did a little dance and was grinning from ear to ear. All the parents on our team got a kick out of his excitement and his high 5's. It was so neat to see!

We finally got some nice weather today and we are taking advantage of it! Fishing behind the house, bike rides and playing outside. Now if I could only get motivated to take down the 2 remaining Christmas trees...

Tennis Girls Night Out!

'Sorry' to all the people sitting around us... ;)
