not this cute anymore!
Oh man! Our month vacation is over.. and our money is spent, so Aaron finally decided to start working. Today is his first day at the new firm. We'll have to report later on how that goes! The kids and I are also getting back to work! We haven't had an official homeschool lesson in weeks-- although we've had plenty of time in the car to discuss random topics. Here are a few of my favorite conversations from the car... (not all necessarily from this trip.)

Mom: How do you spell TACO?
Ben: T-A-L-K-O

20 Questions:
Ben: I'm thinking of a bird.
Luke: Is it nocturnal?
Ben: No.
Me: So, it's NOT an owl. Okay, let me think.. (then I attempt to name every bird I can think of. And I was going deep.)
Ben: Mom, I just don't think you are going to guess this one.
Me: Fine, I am not playing.
Luke: (Continuing on with the game) Does it live in North America?
Ben: Nope, it lives in our favorite continent.
Luke: Africa?
Ben: Yes.
Luke: I think I know! Is it a masked weaver bird?
Ben: You got it! How did you guess so quickly?
Me: How did you guess that EVER?
Ben: See, mom. I told you you probably wouldn't get it.
Me: That's FO SURE.

Zack: Train, Train! Train! Train!
Everyone: We see the train already, kid!

Aaron: Pomona, CA... this is where I was born!
Luke: I wish I was born in California.
Me: Do you know where you were born?
Ben and Luke unanimously: Provo, UT (as if I asked a dumb question)
Ben: How do babies eat inside the mom's tummy?
Me: From an umbilical cord. Its connected from the mommy to the baby's belly button.
Luke: Cool.
Ben: Mom, I have a question.
Me: I was afraid of that. (because I could see him in the back, really concentrating on something.)
Ben: Did Adam, the first prophet, have a belly button?
Me: Wow. I will have to get back to you on that one. What do YOU think?
Ben: Well, it depends on if Heavenly Father does, since he was made in God's image.
Me: Amen, brother!

Wow... some of those little discussions should be entitled "Deep Thoughts"! I really need to start quoting some of what my kids say... I love hearing yours!
I LOVE THESE! your boys are so so adorable. and i only know them from reading about them.
Are you serious? Oh man. Thanks for the laugh.
I love it. These posts are my favorite. I can't believe the things that Ben thinks of. You are going to run out of answers one day to all his SMART questions.
Your kids crack me up! I can't wait until Jayben starts connecting the dots on information.
Ha! That's awesome. Great post. Your boys are so smart...
