Funny Stuff

I scarcely recognize my blog.  It has been a pleasure to hand over Alma Mater to Stella and enjoy her creative posts and pictures.  Perhaps I'll have more time to post this summer (after school is completed and the garden is planted)...  In the meantime, here are some cute stories I've been compiling...

Rus - "Can we read the story about the pranks God sent on the Egyptians?"

Rus - Just before Mother's Day, Rus told me in despair that he hadn't bought me any presents.  He added, "And that's why I'm SO STRESSED because you deserve a GREAT Mother's Day!"

Rus often begins our school time with this prayer -  "Dear God, please let this be a pleasing school day for Mom, and help me be diligent."

Rus's computer skills are really taking off.  He is learning to type, and he navigates his way around a few educational sites we allow him to use.  The other day I heard him muttering, "OKAY...I got THAT off my shoulder (meant his chest :)).  Mozilla Firefox just wasn't responding."

Playing checkers with me, Rus gave me a sly look and said, "Mom, I could tell you had something up your shirt (meant sleeve).

Tert referred to our dog as "a fat old canine."

The other day Stephen was leaving a meeting at work.  When he put his arm in his coat sleeve, out popped a large Winnie the Pooh shirt!  The engineer he was working with got a huge kick out of that since he has a one year old granddaughter (like our Filia).  You never know where they'll hide their treasures.
