Boys' Conversation

Last night at our dinner table our boys had a conversation about squirrels. I'm not sure how this got started, I missed out on the beginning, but this is what I heard...
Gabe: "Squirrels don't come in houses. Well, unless you have peanuts in your pocket."
Josiah: "Not peanuts, just nuts."
Gabe: "Oh and not in your pockets, just in your house."

It was so funny to hear this little conversation b/c they were so serious about it. When Josiah "corrected" Gaber on what kind of nut, Gaber shook his head yes, agreeing with Siah, like Josiah WAS right, that its not peanuts, its just nuts that will attract a squirrel into your house. I love their little conversations...when they aren't fighting. :)

So other than that, everything is going good here. School has been going smooth, as smooth as it can go with Tara running around wanting attention while I'm trying to teach Gabe. I usually have her sit at the table to color while I try to help Gabe, but she bores of that fast and starts yelling for me. Josiah is patient, thankfully. He will ask for me and then sit and wait until I make my way to his side of the "school" table. Today he was getting frustrated with his subtraction, not that he didn't know how to do it but the computer was messing him up. He would put a number in the box it belonged in, but then the number would move over one, thus making his answer wrong. Luckily he gets 3 attempts to get it right, but he gets so aggravated with it. We are loving his school, but there are the little quirks with the program that you have to work through, but overall I'm happy with it.
Just so you know, right now I'm hearing tweets, clucks and monkey sounds coming from my front room. Tara learned how to do monkey sounds from Josiah yesterday, along with the arm movements. So this morning Gaber decided to teach her chicken noises. My little tippy toe girl is becoming fluent in animal language. :)
Jeff should be home soon from the dentist. This morning he had to go get his last 2 wisdom teeth pulled. Not a fun day for him. He was non-deployable with those 2 teeth in there, so I thought the smart thing to do would be to leave them in! :) No, we didn't get the option to leave them in. He has to deploy this fall and so the teeth had to come out. Boo.
I need to go help Tara, she keeps yelling, "ight! ight!" (light) She loves turning the light on and off. I usually let her do it a couple times to teach her "on" and "off".
