Kid-isms

So I have been horrible at posting on the blog.  Sitting down to do things has always been rough on me because I don't sit down well.  I even stand to sew and scrapbook a lot.  However I am still alive and very much a busy mom.  Come and visit and I'm sure I'll share something out of my garden - my garden is more spotless than my house at present.  I use weeding in the morning as my solace time since I'm the only early riser in the house.  :)  
Anyway - my kids say some funny stuff as children do and this is a great place to record it.  I do actually keep a journal for each of my kids - they each have a composition notebook and I try to record their latest stuff at least 1x every month - one day they will be lucky recipients of this written treasure but I've got lots more pages to go before that happens.
I think Cora takes the cake with the random things she says.  Eric calls them "Coraisms" because they are definitely HER original thoughts.  Today for instance - "Mommy sometimes I just lose my brain and I really need to try to keep it with my head."  Now that I know what happens I'll work on the patience and understanding part.
Jodi the other day was looking at the huge wall map of the United States and she said, "Texas and Alaska must love each other - they are both big."  The logic of a child somehow grows out of us.  Its a shame, lots of us could use a bit more of that.
With Marcus its mostly just pulling up his shirt sleeves and saying, "Wanna see my muscles?"  Thanks to his Uncle Matt for that.  Really Matt he is your little clone in sooo many ways.
Well there you have it.  The Haffners are still alive and well!
