Change of Pace

I've decided instead of talk about our lack of progress in the adoption to change the focus for awhile and talk about the three I have at home. It has come across my mind several times to document some of the funny things kids say, so I think I will post little stories that I find particularly funny on this blog. To start with I have two such instances....

One day last week, Payton and Paris were out in the front yard before school waiting for the bus to come. They found a dead bird in the front yard, hurried inside and told their mother and Presley about it. Presley, of course, had to go see it as well. Once Payton and Paris went to school Kristen took care of the birds remains via a shovel and the garbage. Once time came for Presley to go to preschool she ran out the garage when Kristen opened it to back the car out. She promptly went over to the spot where the bird met its fate, found it gone and told Kristen, " I knew that bird was going to make it to heaven! I just knew it!" Obviously in her 4 year old sweet little mind the bird went to heaven not only in spirit, but body as well. Bless her little heart.

Now, the second story... Paris was at school, she is now in first grade, and was in music class with Mrs. Schenk. Mrs. Schenk evidently looked real good that day because Paris said to Mrs. Schenk ," You look beauuutifullll Mrs Schenk!...Kind of like an Elephant Trainer!" I think that was a compliment, but not sure where the Elephant Trainer comparison came from? I would think it came from going to a circus, but since Presley is DEATHLY afraid of clowns and such we haven't taken the kids to a circus in quite sometime. Evidently Paris, at one point in her life, remembers going to the circus and seeing an attractive Elephant Trainer.

I'm sure there will be more to come....
