The Summers: Ten Dollars Worth!

Our 'modern day farm'... We work together and get paid together. Since we do not live on a farm or out in the country, owning 2 other properties however, allows for lots of opportunities to work. Kevin takes at least one of the girls to work with him on the duplexes... & then sometimes it is a family affair. It was Gracie's turn and she couldn't wait! She was so pleased with herself. Kevin would load her up with wood and she'd haul it and stack it.

Gracie, you are getting so big! What a great healper you are! At the end of the day, Kevin asked her how much he owed her... she decided $5.00. Kevin said, "How about $10.00?"

The Things They Say 2008....

Kevin says...

"Girls! It's 'similar' too, not 'like'!"

"Please take me off Speaker Phone!"

"Where's the phone?"

Stacy says...

"So what's your favorite thing your mom fixes for dinner?"

"I seriously make the cutest babies!!"

"Did you take your Vit C? Mmmm, take more."

Millie (14) says...

"I do not like those stairs! It's not funny anymore!"

"I need some zeebra print heels!!!!"

Sophie (12) says...

"May I ride my bike to the 'Windy City'?" (cafe)

"We're gonna be late!"

Chloe (9) says...

"It's a flutter of scents in the air!"

"I proclaim! I just tried my first egg salad sandwich!"

Gracie (5) says...

"May we go to the Caymen Islands today?"

"When is Who-Ya Class?" (karate)

"That's the grossest ever that I saw!" (Compost bin!)

"Hey, strawberries fight cancer!"

Gracie brought me a brush & scrunchie, turned her back to me, stuck her head back & said, "Mother, prepare for duty!"

While at the Farmers Market, Gracie pointed to a lady & ask, "Is she Mexican?" Kevin told her she was Hmong. Gracie then said, "Oh, so she speaks Hmong & Human?"

We're hoping Grandma Bev & Grandpa Norm from ID can come visit us soon. When I mentioned gas & airline tickets cost lots of money Gracie said matter of factly, "Well... how 'bout they pogostick over."

A boy at school said a bodily function word and Gracie said to me, "I laughed off my head!" (Instead of "I laughed my head off!")

While Kevin & the girls were at Subway, Gracie ask him, "Why does Mama always order water & you order soda?" Before he could answer she said, "Ah, I know because Mama is healthy... you're more junkie & a little healthy!"

"Can I tell you a question?"
