I warned you it wouldn't be a daily blog...

...but these sayings were just too great to not get "on the air."

Brent...on poor choices
He was staring perplexed at his phonics book the other day. I approached him and asked what he was trying to figure out. "Well," he said, "I have to fill in the blank at the end of this sentence; 'If you are not in class, you are _________.' But I don't see 'homeschooled'!"
The answer they were looking for was absent.


Shannon...on the small things in life
In an effort to cut back sugar in our diet, we haven't had juice for the last year or so (except for very special occaisions). The other night I had a meeting and bought a jug of apple juice for those in attendance. I put the leftovers in the fridge for the kids the next morning. Shannon was the first up and, as is her normal routine, immediately went to the fridge to get her breakfast. She instantly spotted the juice, and with the door still open, and the jug still on the shelf, she gave the jug a hug and exclaimed "Oh apple juice, you're home! I missed you sooooooo much!"
Gives me a great birthday gift idea!
