Stephabeth and Family

We have entered into week two of school. Kyle & Abby officially have become difficult to wake up! Kyle didn't wake up until his second alarm went off and even then I had to encourage him to get up...not bad for an 8 yr old! Abby on the other hand moaned, growled, groaned, and flopped until I pulled "My Mother" on her. =) When I was growing up, you always wanted Mom to wake you up. Dad would count to 3 and flip on the light...sometimes before he got to 3 just to catch you by surprise. Then he would give us some cheesy line like, "Rise and shine! Time to be bright eyed and bushy tailed!"

We quickly found the Proverb about loud greetings in the morning being taken as a curse. =)

Mom? She'd come tickle you lightly with her fingers while going "woo woo woo! woo woo woo!" in a sing-song voice. Who knew how much fun it is to wake someone up with that! Abby was...well, not happy, but it was HILARIOUS! Kaden came and joined in on the fun by licking her face.  The best part of the "Abby" moments has just got to be shared! Stephen and i have been prepping the kids for chores, right? So tonight I asked Abby to feed Kaden his dinner.

"Why?!"
"Because that's one of your chores, honey."
"I don't believe this! I have to cook, clean up the lunches, help pack the lunches, and feed the dog twice in one day! Oh my word!!!!"


HAHAHAHAHAHA! How precious is that! Yes, we talked about having the right attitude and being respectful, but come on people! You can't deny how adorable that is! Here are 2 pics that I didn't get posted last week. It was on Friday. Abby informed me she had been counting down all week long to the weekend so she wouldn't have to go to school. Lol

Kyle refused to smile, so here he is eating breakfast. =)

Sassy pants herself!

On Saturday, both kids ended up at a friend's house (bless her heart) MK has 8 kids, 5 were home, and she had 3 extras! Our 2 plus another lady's daughter had come to play. Kyle was being camera shy, but Abby was in high heaven! Can you guess why?

This is Mahogany. He spooked her a bit because of his height, but she loooooooves horses! Ok, time for this teacher to hit the sack. Love you all! Stay true! We are praying for you!
