One day during family prayer, we kept smelling something gross. After the preliminary olfactory investigation, it was discovered that the smell was emanating from two persons in our family. It was Sean and Hayden. The Smelly Boys. They were gently reprimanded by the entire showering population in our family (only 4 of us, actually) by questions and statements such as: "When was the last time you guys showered?!?" "You guys stink!" The most offensive smell was narrowed down to Hayden's socks. After Sean smelled those socks, he said, "So THAT'S what that smell on the bus was!" Oh how embarrassing. We are that family. The family with smelly kids whose essence permeates the entire bus. And yes, we are working on some better hygiene habits for certain members of the family.
During our drive to church in Florida, we drove through a very wealthy country club area. Daphne said, "I want to live in one of these expensive houses! I like expensive stuff."
Again, in Florida, Hayden was disappointed when we got to Gatorland and saw the gators in their exhibits. He said, "I want to go to some random swamp and find some wild alligators. I like a little bit of danger."
Me: (At church) Church snacks are for babies.
Sydney: But they are also for big humans too, right?
Sean: Can I drain your iPad battery?
After a month of waiting for the tooth fairy to show up, I heard Daphne exclaim one morning, "Our tooth fairy is the WORST!"
One of the songs on the CMT rehearsal CD is "Elegance" from Hello Dolly. As we were listening to that one day, Sean asked, "What does elegance mean?" I said, "It kind of means you are poised, and in-style and feel sure of yourself." Sean replied, "Oh, I guess I'm pretty elegant."
Hayden and Sean were playing catch one day. Hayden got hit in the head with the ball and started crying. So I said, "Hayden if the ball looks like its gonna hit your head, just duck and get out of the way." Arthur hearing me, ran outside yelling, "NO, NO, NO!!! Don't listen to Mommy! She doesn't know how to play catch! If the ball is coming at your head, you CATCH it!"
Hayden: Yesterday was the last day of school, so I know everything there is to know in Kindergarten.
Sean: (about a cockroach) I didn't kill it because God made it.
Hayden: (to a pigeon eating our cherries) Yeah, you BETTER run!
We spent Easter Sunday in a ward in Florida. Sydney refused to go to their primary, so she came with me to Relief Society. During RS we watched a video depicting the Savior's crucifixion and resurrection. When it was over, Sydney turned and whispered in my ear, "Is He alive?" I felt a beautiful confirming spirit as I said, "Yes, Sydney. Yes, He came alive again! He is alive."

So sweet! What a memorable Easter experience!
Hayden needs to come to Brazos Bend State Park--a "random swamp with wild alligators"! Sometimes they are sunning themselves on the trail and you have to walk right past them!
Adorable! I always look forward to the quotes! I especially liked Arthur's. Baseball stuff is the best :D
