E, while watching the Expedition Unknown horror movie episode:
- I have known Josh Gates for like 2 years now. Why would he choose right now to do a scary episode?
- Wow, she’s beautiful AND fierce. Just like me.

I got some new work clothes and today I put on a black dress with white stripes.
Nugget:
*gasp* Mommy! Mommy your dress, it matches my undies!! Why did you do that???
She is wearing a pair of lavender striped underwear...

J is doing his reading livestream call and he gets frustrated because he doesn't get called on very often to answer questions (because he is constantly getting up, it's his own fault). Anyway, just now the teacher called on a girl named Karen to answer the question and J mutter whines "ugh, not Karen!"
And I just cracked up. Because everyone is sick of "Karens" not just adults.
*no offense to the poster here who has that name, sorry about that 😆

My 5yo told me my outfit was “top shelf.” I clearly need to monitor her screen time more closely. Also I absolutely take my 5yo’s fashion advice.

E (8) is signing a bday card for my dad. This is what she wrote.
Through these hard times, we find ourselves lost. But family cannot be defeated.
Where does she come up with this stuff? Also, I’m not crying. You’re crying.

C has been cracking me up recently because his new favorite thing to do is run around the house and yell "re-et-GOOOO!"(ready-set-go)
also, he started saying "Please-please" when he wants help with something and it's so cute

Our local district just received a grant for free meals for everyone again, not just enrolled students. We went today for the first time since summer, and the lunch was Chinese food plus a fortune cookie. L was so excited looking in her bag she yelled out "I got a fortunate cookie!". Yes, we are, L, yes we are. She has no idea what a lift this is to my mental well being to have these meals again!

E ::abandons me to cuddle with cat::
Me: What? You’re done cuddling? You spent nine months in my belly, but now you’re done?
E: Mom, I’ve been done for eight years.

Apparently we're going to have to start watching our language around F, but we had quite a good laugh over this anyways. We were watching a movie the other day, and these two guys got swept away in a flash flood. One of them gets hit with a log in the back of the head and F says "are you okay?". Next scene is guy tumbling through the water and F goes "oh shit!"

Looking at our new house today, J went into the owners bedroom and yelled "Mom look! Jesus is here!" (They had a statue thing on their dresser)

I told M today that I didn't know something "off the top of my head". She started giggling like crazy and said "do you know it off the top of your nose?!" And continued laughing and listing random body parts for several minutes. I was in tears from laughing so hard.

Another Finn-ism. We were putting up his felt Christmas tree this evening for him to play with and after every single ornament placed on the tree he goes "yay, good job!"

This morning my friend who is a reading specialist in another school district did a read-aloud with my kids. She is off school but also called in sick from professional development because her union is striking (which is illegal in our state!). They have been working without a contract since Sept.
Anyway. H loved the stories and for whatever reason was inspired to write his own sequels.
I’m obsessed. Photos to come.
