Memories to keep

Like, Zach asking me if I was born back in 1842 when we was working on a history lesson this week, and if we had steam powered engines or motors.
Or, Noah eating a fortune cookie for the first time at a China Buffet, and after he took his first bite he said, "Look Mom, there's trash in it!" He then pulled out the fortune, and said,"I got it out, Mom".
Or, Josh saying, "If you had a full-sized job, we'd have to go to the school building, right Mom."
And then there was Zach at lunch today. =) I still smile about this one and the look on his face was priceless. He wanted more water, and when he saw the water jug on the table, he said,"Oh." Then he proceeded to be the funny guy, and pretend to drink right from the jug. As he tips the 1/4 full jug to his lips, off pops the lid, down pours the water, covering his face, some of his hair and ear, shirt, pants, and of course the chair and floor. He said, "Somebody didn't put the lid on!" as I smile and think I know what is going to happen, but it happens to fast to say anything (since I was the one who didn't put the lid on all the way, knowing I would be offering refills)!
And then there is Hannah, whom her Dad asked if the elevator wasn't getting to the top floor, and she replies,"I don't have an elevator" to which Shawn and I busted out laughing about, and is still a fun saying in our home. Aghh, these are the days.

Snow, snow and cold!

We have only had a few days in December without snow, and the temperature has been...., very cold! Like 5* F. We have made it almost to the 30's, and even one day was a little over 30*F, then back to 16*F the next day with a few inches of snow. We haven't had massive amounts of snow, like our friends to the north that had over 20". The most we've had at a time is 3". Makes me think back to when I was young and the snow fell in November and didn't melt off until March. We were so excited to see grass for the first time in the spring, after the thaw. Oh, I guess I'm turning into one of those, "I remember walking to school and home, uphills both ways," sorta gal. Sigh... =)
