A Boy

A "beau" or "bow" is how McKinley pronounces boy. This has become a funny little word in our house, McKinley will say, "Izzy is a beau he has a big potty" "Look at the horses big potty, he is a beau" This is becoming very embarrassing for Kieryn, her eyes get big and she gives McKinley a serious motherly look and tells her, "do not talk about that"
Obviously McKinley is very aware now of boys or "beaus", so much so, she unzipped a boy mannequin's pants at the store and was trying to figure out what was in those pants. Lonny was a bit disturbed, I am sure a security guy somewhere in his camera room was having a good laugh at Lonny having a fit over McKinley's little investigation, Poor daddy :)

Someday

For a few years now Braden has talked about how he can not wait to grow a mustache or a goatee and he is dying to have a as he says, "a chest-stache" (chest hair). Well Braden's dream of having facial hair kinda came true. . . .well as close to what it might look like, the Martini's gave Braden a set of mustaches and such. SOOO he felt that he needed to actually wear this chin thing to school. He wore it the entire day (7AM-6PM) even keeping it on during football practice. At the end of the day he seemed so happy with himself, it was hilarious. All we could do was try not to laugh hysterically, just smile and listen to how his day went. I bet his teachers all had a good laugh, thinking typical home school kid.

I'm a bet (vet)

Friday we took Lacey to the Vet, she had been coughing and choking all night. Unfortunately, they said she has Kennel Cough. What we did not realize is how the vet trip had educated McKinley. So this morning when Kieryn woke up sick, I decided she felt a bit warm and took her temperature, under the arm. Well McKinley grabbed the cover to the thermometer and was also trying to take a temperature. . .she was trying to take Izzy's rectal temperature while saying, "I'm a bet" Poor Izzy, good thing I noticed before she actually. . . . UNO !
