Isaac has always had a passion for money. Lately it has taken the form of selling school supplies to his friends. Today he came home with $4. Paul and I are glad he's excited about something, but I'm thinking the purchasers' parents are not thrilled how the kids are spending their lunch money.

Leah was bored in the car the other day and found a new use for the not-so-great Great Value tissue that rubbed her the wrong way. It's not a Barbie-sized wedding dress or a Halloween decoration. It's a pom-pom. Indoor sporting events only.
Benjamin's response when he saw this poster:
"Mom, that's looks like you and dad when you were younger."

Elizabeth playing with Leah's pom-pom.
A few days ago she told me what she thinks of me.
Mom: (Complimenting E after she figured something out) You are too smart for me!
Elizabeth: Yeah, you're not smart. Not yet.
At least she sees some potential.
