Ana is like me!

Do you remember my story a while back about my newspaper sheep? Click here to see the post.

So yesterday Ana was tossing kleenex all over the house. Of course, Mom told her to stop, but a little bit later she was doing it once again. I went up to my room a little bit later to get ready for the day, when I noticed a kleenex on the floor in my room. I looked out my doorway and Ana was grinning at me. I mentioned that there was a kleenex on my floor and guessed that she put it there. She nodded and told me she was delivering newspapers. :)

Ana shut all the doors upstairs and threw kleenex inside to each "house". She also got some wooden mail envelopes and was delivering one to each person. (I got the Happy Birthday one! Apparently I'm seventeen now)! She even put a "bluebox" in front of my door as my mailbox.

Now that I write this, I remember when Luke and I were little, we put fake mailboxes outside our bedroom door for our mail whenever we got any. We didn't want anyone to hand it to us, we wanted it in our special mailbox so we could open our own mailbox and find mail. Well, when you're little, you don't get very much mail, so we got bored of the whole mailbox thing and threw our "mailboxes" back into the closet.

A good answer

One day Ana and Ethan were fighting. I don't remember what it was about, but Dad went to go take care of it. He took Ana and Ethan aside and asked them what happened and how they handled the situation. Then he told them what they should've and should not have done. And how they ought to handle the situation if it happened again. He summed up by asking them a question,"Now what have we learned from this?" There was silence. Then Ana spoke up. "JESUS!"

Caught... again.

Ana seems to have this thing where she falls asleep on our animals. First Woody, now Collar Dude. Grandpa and Grandma were over and Ethan came into the living room to tell us that Ana fell asleep with Collie. We went in there and saw them. C.D. was actually asleep!!! It was adorable!

Collie wakes up. What's going on??

HI! I'm back!

This is Collar Dude, our cat. He wanted to say "Hi!"

Funny story

One day Ethan and Ana were cleaning their room. They decided to try the ever used push everything under the bed method.

So Mom came into the room to check their progress. To her amazement, everything was clean in record time! So, as she has been a mother for 16 years, she looked under the bed. And.... there was all the mess!

So Ana says to Ethan, "I told you she could lean over!"

Another story,

Mom was working with Ana on her letter sounds in the living room one day. Suddenly Ana stood up and shouted, "SANTA" Mom looked and there was a man working on the neighbor's roof with a red sweatshirt and hood on.

So today Ethan and Ana were discussing where Santa's reindeer were. He must have left them at home.

Just now we were trying to remember how the story went and Ana spoke up and said, "He WAS Santa!"

Ethan is always coming up with new, fancy, "big kid" phrases to use during his every day talking. He has used therefore and now then.

Ethan has informed Mom that he will live next to her until she and Dad die, then he is moving to Europe!

But see, he has also said that he will live in Europe, his wife will be a waitress in Australia, and their kids will live with Mom and Dad. And Mom will have to do his daughter's hair , (thinking of Ana), unless his wife comes back to do it.

Laugh everyone!

I am pasting on a post from Em Wants More. blogspot. com because it's just funny!

We are so excited to get our babies. And our excitement must be contagious because even our pets are looking forward to the day when we finally bring home our new brother(s) and/or sister(s).

This is Woody. He is our Yellow Lab dog. He is 8 years old and starting to look and act old. He's even starting to do things he'd never do before, (like lie on a couch pillow).

We caught Woody like this one day. What is he doing?

He has volunteered to babysit Miss Bossy's doll for a few minutes while she does something. Miss Bossy set him up with even a carrier. Doesn't he look like the perfect babysitter?!

Well, maybe not. Ouch... that looks painful and the babysitter looks bored.
