Cousins & sisters, Mickey Mouse, recess training

Last week we got to have Becca and Boston and Bodie here; it was so wonderful!  I loved chatting and relaxing with Becca and getting to know her kids better.  It ended way too soon! One of my favorite parts was playing UNO with Boston one-on-one for a while at his request. What a great kid! And Bodie and Jacob really enjoyed killing bugs and other adventurous things outside. Here are a few pics . . .

Katie LOVES Mickey Mouse, especially watching Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and Sophia the First on the Ipad.  I don't allow it too often, but sometimes she sneaks the Ipad and swipes right to the Mickey Mouse app. She tells me all the time, "I like Mickey Mouse.  I like Minnie.  I like Goofy.  I like Donald and Daisy." :)

Jacob just told me that he goes way out into the field at recess and "trains" 3 other boys in his class how to run fast.  Their rules are:

1.  Eat a lot (to get lots of energy)

2.  Don't eat sweets (he decided to start this about a week ago so he can get stronger and he is sticking to it amazingly well, but he says they have a hard time with it and still eat sweets.)

3.  Practice and exercise

How adorable is that?  Jon told me once that he used to run around at recess and just imagine how impressed everyone must be at how fast he was running.  Sounds like the apple didn't fall far from the tree!
