Circus boy

Conner has informed me, he wants to join the circus. He means it!

Conner has become very interested in magic lately. He has been learning slight of hand and illusions. He can do some pretty impressive tricks and little kids love him. He keeps looking up unicycles on Ebay and is working tirelessly begging Marty and I for one.

Then yesterday he announces, " I want to join the circus when I am older.", I told him that it isn't really a good profession of choice. He told me, " I don't care, I will have my own trailer for you to come visit."

Finally yesterday afternoon, he told me that he will still go to college to learn business. Then he said he will go to bible college to become a ordained minister so he can go do a one man act in churches.

It is true, he is a one man act. The kid cracks us up, he is so funny but he doesn't mean to be.

Happy Mother's day

I woke up this morning to Conner carrying in our white board loaded with food. He had made me cereal,toast, coffee and a banana for breakfast.

 Then he gave me two cards made on notebook paper, the first one said " I love you mom your the best mom. Love Conner" and the second one had a picture of a house inside the house it said " I love my mom. You put love into this house, you make it run." awww, I was so surprised and actually thought the second one was from Elizabeth because it was written so well. Writing is so hard for Conner and not something he just does, so it really brought me to tears.

Then Elizabeth got up and gave me one of her teddy bears with a card. It said " I love my mom, sometimes she is mad, sometimes she is happy. But I still love her she is my mom." then she wrote Psalm 100 on the back. Marty came home and brought me a card and then we went to church. He bought me a salad from Chili's after and had the kids do some chores for me.

I laid down for a nap to be awoke by Conner yelling at Elizabeth. So Marty decided to go check on them and told me that Conner had taken apart the sink. He was doing dishes for me and something clogged the drain, so he took the drain off and fixed it. By the time we heard him it was put back together. He came in crying and told me that " I worked so hard and now all my work is messed up." and Marty told him " That is what your momma deals with everyday". I was really sweet and a nice gift from Conner.

Cute story

Marty went to get his haircut and a elderly gentleman sat down next to him. The girl says "How would you like your haircut?" and the man says " I don't know, my barber just retired after 35 yrs and I used to just sit down in the chair and start talking. He would cut my hair." the girl looked stunned and started saying " We have a number one clip, a number two clip..." and the guy says " Look, I don't know anything about any clips, just cut my hair in a way you think would look good on me." Isn't that so cute!
