The kind of guy I am

"Some people like a design on one side (of a shirt).  I like a design on both sides, or one in the middle.  That's just the kind of guy I am."

"Some kids can't sit down and work.  I can sit down and work but I would rather you know... chicka chicka boom boom!"

Dempsey put two legs in one pant hole.  She got up and walked off.  I asked her if she was going to fix her pants she said, "No. I'm going to church"

Zeke's Wisdom

Sage:  I want to go to live with Aunt Kim
Zeke:  Actually, Sage. It's not as fun as you would think.  They are still fun, but not as much.

Cole:  I want four inches of cinnamon sugar on my toast.
Zeke: Okay Cole. You can have a four inch straw of cinnamon sugar.  That's sound like the perfect amount.

They are testing Zeke for the gifted program at school on Monday.  There is a boy in his class whose birthday is on the same day as his birthday.  He found these things out when he went to school, five days out of the past month.  It has been shut down a lot for inclement weather-- Frost!?!

Uncle Will:  What did you dream about last night?

Dempsey:  My nap.

Actually, she talks in her sleep.  She said, "My doll just threw up!" 

Snow, snow, snow

It snowed on sunday and we didn't have to go to school for the rest of the week. It was very fun. We stayed home a lot.  It is very snowy over here.  About seven inches.  It is fun to play in.  And it is fun to sled in.  Dempsey sleded down once with me.  Sometimes we just spend the day inside.

The Fight

Dempsey and Sage fight a lot.  I think that only one day they didn't fight, all through the day.  Dempsey usually wins.  I think she does.  She wins by having a knock out.  By punching her once to make her cry.  They hardly they ever stop fighting until a grownup says, 'No.'

Sometimes you see them fight and you don't know what to say.  Knock Out

Zeke and Dempsey's favorite clothes

 Zeke asked for and received camoflage clothes for Christmas. 

He also got a camo flannel jacket and footed pajamas.

 Dempsey started loving swimming suits in the summer, she loves them just as much in January.

 Notice the gum.

She says she swallowed the gum.

And she is off playing again.

Back to School

I had a two week break.  It felt like I didn't have to go to school for a year or so.  Now I am back in school everything is fine.  I lost my folder.  I am pretty sad.  Everything but that is fine.  Dempsey thinks it is a new thing that I go to school, because I didn't go to school for two weeks.  Now we are studying fractions. 

Dempsey and Zeke at the Park

A girl:  This tire swing makes me want to throw up.
Dempsey:  I threw up in my car.  It was yucky.

Zeke jumps out of the swings and tries to do a 360 before he lands.  Sometimes he makes it, sometimes he doesn't.  He rides his scooter there also.  The neighborhood is not conducive to riding. 

Dempsey was playing with her cousin who started crying frantically.  I went over.  "There is an ant on my shoe."  She wailed.

Dempsey, who was just standing there, was covered in ants and ant bites.
