Talents!

Ethan caught part of an episode of America's Got Talent recently. Later he asked me what talent meant.    We talked a little bit about it and had a great time listing all of our talents. Then Ethan said, "My Grandma Cindy should be on America's Got Talent cuz she can hold one of those McDonald's trays full of food with just one hand in the middle for a really long time without even dropping a thing!" What do you think Howie would think of that!? 

Good Eater

We were trying a new recipe at supper the other night. Both Ethan and Olivia weren't too sure about it. I made the comment about it being another recipe that Josh and I enjoy, but the kids won't eat. (That happens more often than I would like.) Josh said, "Olivia might not eat it, but I bet Ethan will. He's a pretty good eater most of the time."
Ethan responded, "I'd eat anything you say. (Holding up his napkin) If you told me to eat this napkin, I would."
He inherited that trait from his dad!

No Smoking

Ethan pointed to the no smoking sign in our hotel room last week and said, "Well......it looks like we can't smoke in here." First of all, what do you know about smoking? And second, why are you disappointed about that?

Hot Tubs

It was too late for an evening swim by the time we got to our hotel on Tuesday night. I let the kids peek in the window to see the pool and promised them a swim first thing in the morning. Ethan noticed a hot tub in the corner, and said, "Ahhh! I love hot tubs. They are so relaxing. You just sit there and let the water burn your skin." Hmmm? Not really my idea of relaxing.
