Brett quote of the day

Brett, Paige and I were discussing Math today. Brett claimed that there was no need for math so, Paige and I were giving him all sorts of scenarios for using math. He kept saying, "That's not math." I told him he was stubborn and asked, "Do YOU think you are stubborn?" He said, "No, I am right!"

Brett quote of the day

Ty: "You guys don't have any sense!"
Brett: "I have 25."

Soccer

Brett wanted to play soccer again this year. We were a little worried, since he moved to an older bracket. But, he has had lots of fun. He started out the season on offence, which means he ran around following everyone else and rarely touched the ball. He said, "I am good at the running part of soccer, but not the kicking part." Then he started playing defence. He knows exactly where he is supposed to be and what he should do. He gets to kick the ball much more often. He said, "It is easier and funner."

Brett quote of the day

Last night we were all playing "Scattergories" . We did not make Brett follow the rule of everything starting with the same letter and he did really well at filling in all of his catagories. The rest of us enjoyed snickering at his answers. But, then he came to his answer for "something you save up for" He seriously and matter-of-factly said, "Gumballs!" We laughed so hard we cried!

Big Smiles

Bryce got his braces off!!! He was quite excited and loved that his orthodontist gave him a bag of gum and sticky candy, all the things he has been so good at avoiding for the last two years. Isn't that a great smile?!

Pet Peeve of the Week

I guess I have not been too hard to irritate lately, but two bus route/schedule changes in two weeks will do it. Both changes have inconvenienced me. First, the boys(middle school kids) were switched to another bus. It picks up really early. So, I now take the boys to school, not a huge deal because it is close and doesn't take me through all the other school traffic. Then most days they walk home. I don't mind that, it is good for them! Then Paige and Brett were switched to a 2nd load after school, meaning they have to sit in the hall and wait for the bus to get back, and they would get home pretty late. So, now I pick them up. This takes me through the school traffic of all three schools (or two if I take the long way). I really enjoyed the time of convenient bus pick up and drop off times, while they lasted!
