kids are amazing-ly funny

Tanner continues to be such a sweetheart in our family, always the first to tell everyone he loves them and always very concerned about others feelings.  A few weeks ago we had some landscaping redone in our front yard.  Tanner apparently thought that the workers were doing a good job and needed to know about it.  The day after I found this note on our front porch along with 2 water bottles.  It reads "you are doing great!  Keep it up!  Awesome!  From Tanner:  (Lisa's son)."  I wasn't sure if the landscapers drank some of the water or Tanner had put out some 1/2 empty water bottles...



Connor's teacher (the most amazing 4th grade teacher ever) puts out the class announcements in the form of a class newspaper called the Shaver Scoop.  Connor loved this and decided to publish the Sexton Scrub.  He has published and circulated 5 issues to date.  His teacher told me at my parent conference that she is a recipient of the Scrub.  Look out Barber Pole!






Last Sunday Sydney came into our bedroom and asked with an innocent face, "where is Kroger's?"  To which I said "what do you mean?, it's in Farragut."  She then said "I mean what's the address?"  I was in the middle of having a few moments to finally talk to David for the first time that day so I quickly dismissed her with a "I don't know honey I'll have to look it up later."  She shut the door giggling hysterically.  Hmmm, oh well.  Little did I know what she was up to.  Later that night when Allie went to bed she came down laughing with this in her hand:
David said:  "I guess that's what Sydney meant earlier when she said she wanted to do a prank."
