QOTD

Preston: Hey Mom, I think you could be the first girl president if you wanted to.

Me: I don't think I'd want to be the president. That's a lot of responsibility.

Preston: Yeah, but then we could move and live in the White House. And you wouldn't have to worry about cleaning the house!

Me: Right. I'd just have to worry about running the country. That's a little bit bigger of a deal.

Preston: Well, you could just say "yes" to everything.

"Mom, you know why I don't like winter? Because it's cold and it snows. If it wasn't cold I would love winter! Like, if it was warm and sunny, and there was Christmas." -Archer (a child after my own heart!)

Snow and Spring

2 days ago, it snowed. Again. Today: 65 and sunny. Welcome to N. Idaho!

Some pics from today...

My sweet littlest boy paused from riding his bike to pick a flower. He said "I love girls, and sometimes I give them flowers!" He bikes over to me, gave me the flower, and said "Pretty girl, I love you!"

And then he got tired (after spending the afternoon at the park with friends, and riding bike) and cuddled up on my lap. As much as he could anyway!

Evening bike ride! So excited that these days are back!

Interval training!

QOTD

A little sweetness from Archer:

I was vacuuming the stairs this afternoon when Archer came tromping up the stairs with a piece of paper in his hand. He told me it was his treasure map (he had drawn a map and crumpled it up to make it look "old"), then he said "And YOU are the greatest treasure of all!" He told me that his treasure map had led him to me.

Awwww! This kid is seriously the sweetest 5-year-old ever!

QOTD

Me: Bryton, why didn't you eat all of your carrots? (In his lunchbox)

B: well, because I always eat my carrots last and I ran out of time.

Me: soooo...eat your carrots first next time.

B: NO Moooom! Everyone knows that you eat the healthy food LAST so it takes over the bad food!

QOTD

Bryton: "I hit the back button!" (P & B were navigating their school website)

Preston: "No Bryton, that's not the back button! That's the destroy button!" (B had hit backspace)

QOTD

"I know why they call it Lookout (referring to Lookout Pass Ski area...where we - or the rest of the family anyway - ski)! Because you have to look out for trees, and other people and stuff like that when you're skiing." - Bryton

QOTD

Archer and I put together a world map puzzle today after school. I asked him where we live...he spent a long time studying the map, and then says to me: "I'm looking for 'C' (our last name). It's supposed to say C!"

QOTD

"It's raining snow!" - Archer
