Inauguration Day Thoughts by the Laird Children

Jake: Mommy, we have a new president.
Me: I know! Pretty cool, huh?
J: Yeah. We got to watch part of it at school.
Me: Really? Did you understand what he said?
J: (a tad insulted) Yes.
Me: So what did he say?
J: Um........that he's gonna do a job. You know, like, running the country and stuff.

Glad he listened. Then Courtney came in.

C: We watched part of it too.
Me: So what did you think?
C: BORING! Fell asleep.

And Hannah, who is actually old enough to really maybe understand some of it...well, they didn't watch it in middle school!

I've Been Tagged...

~Tagged~
I was tagged in the picture game.The object of the picture tag is to:
1) Choose the 4th folder where you store your pictures on your computer.
2) Select the 4th picture in the folder.
3) Explain the picture.
4) Tag 4 people to do the same.
No cheating (cropping, editing, etc.) Have fun!!!



Hannah's science project last year was to compare the number of unpopped kernels from a bag of inexpensive microwave popcorn with the number of unpopped kernels from a top name brand. I walked in to find her frantically trying to cram as much popcorn in her mouth as possible. When I asked her what she was doing, she said she was trying to get to the unpopped kernels so she could count them. Yes, she is a special child. G/T and everything. Thank GOD I caught her before she tried to eat TWO WHOLE BAGS of popcorn.

OH...and I don't have four blogging friends to tag, so I'll just do that part on Facebook.
