Reagan At Six

Growing Up Way Too Fast.

 

 

 

The New/Old Gadget

Reagan saw this really cool thing on t.v. called a typewriter, and wanted one.  BAD.  Grandma and Grandpa dug out Daddy's old one from high school, and gave it to her.  It's been a popular gadget  with all three kids, who have typed up paper after paper after paper - mostly of gobbeldy-gook.

Guilty as charged

I've been working more hours that I'd like to of late.  Like, the last several months.  And it's starting to show.  The kids are having hot lunch again today, because their mother did not have time to make their lunches, or to tell THEM to make their lunches. 

Mom: "Well, I guess it's hot lunch again today, kids."
Reagan: "You haven't been making us lunches much at all lately."
Mom: "I know.  I'm sorry.  It's been busy."
Reagan: "Or dinner."
Mom: "I know."
Reagan: "Or breakfast."
Mom: "But I'm good at giving you a snack, right?"
Reagan: "Not so much."

Ouch.  OK.  Slacking on my "nourishing your family" role.  Time to change that.

Reagan and Darla

These little girls are so dang cute. 

The Things She Says

Reagan: "Mom, can I put a lollipop in my backpack?"
Mom: "There are only two of them, and we have three kids.  Someone won't get one."
Reagan: "Then I'll eat both of them, without anyone else seeing!"
Mom: "Well, that wouldn't be very fair, would it?"
Reagan: "Mom.  Life is NOT fair."

She may have heard that a time or two.  HA!

Pom Sunday

Reagan: can I wear this fuzzy to church today, Mom?

Mom: Sure, I guess.   

Reagan:  because it's Pom Sunday, you know. 

Ha!! I'll never look at Palm Sunday the same way again. 

Helpful Parental Advice

Reagan, knowing that her brother was in trouble for a poor choice, sat down next to me and sighed. 

"You know, Mom.  I think he needs a spanking with the belt.  Spanking with a hand just doesn't seem to do anything anymore."

Uhhhhh, thank you for that?  Apparently your disciplining is much more rigorous than mine, little girl. 

I was just going to ground him!

Scares me a bit how she relishes when her brothers get in trouble.
