A New Season

The 2016-2017 Women's Team moved in!

Emmie:  Who graduates after this year?
Mom:  Sarah and Kaitlin
Emmie:  Ohhh.....they're two of my favorites.  I wish graduation wasn't a thing.  Will they at least come back to visit?

From Dennis because it rhymes with tennis.

All in a Week....

Emmie got her ears pierced while with Dad.....

While cleaning her ears/earrings one evening:

Emmie:  It's not hurting.  It's just in my head.

Mom:  That's smart to help yourself handle the pain.

Emmie:  Yeah, I'm trying to make myself comfortable.  There is a man in my head telling me to do that.

Mom:  Man or Woman in your head?

Emmie:  Little man.

Mom:  Got it.

The next day, Emmie was resistant to having her ears cleaned all together:

Emmie:  It hurts, why couldn't they just give me something gross to drink?

Mom:  Remember how you handled it yesterday?  You told yourself that it didn't hurt.

Emmie:  Yeah, but it does.  I tried to tell myself that the pain was in my head, but it isn't.  It actually hurts.

Kris:  Mason, is this your water bottle?

Mason:  Nope.

Kris:  Are you sure?

Mason:  It's not mine.

Kris:  Well, it has a sticker on the bottom that says, Mason Diehl.

Emmie:  Ahhhh, you just got framed dawg!

Emmie and Kallie were playing timber onto a pile of blankets.  Emmie climbed onto Mom's shoulders and she pretended to timber herself:

"I'm glad you didn't do that.  That would be epically dangerous."

Mason:  Why are you making so much food?

Kris:  Because all of you want something different.

Mason:  Oh, are my hard boiled eggs ready yet?
