An easy way to keep up to date with Josh, Calvin, Colette, Greg and Abby.

Ok, so I have to post this one before I forget it...oh no, I think I forgot it. Think...Oh! Ok, so we were praying as a family before bed, after a rousing rendition of Father Abraham (Colette is a big fan of the arm waving). Greg asked who wanted to pray for our weekend retreat w/ the college groups he's part of. Both the boys volunteered, so Greg jokingly said, "Ok, Josh you pray for the retreat, and Calvin you pray too since you're more righteous." I of course gave Greg the, "I'm not so sure that's a wise thing to teach the boys" look. I was quickly distracted by Josh, always the boy, passing gas. To this, Calvin replied, "I'm more righteous than you because you just cooted!" Remember - Calvin's "c" is supposed to be a "t".

Ah, that Calvin...

Ok, so it's been a while, I know, and I actually expect everyone else to post daily on their kids and the funny things they do. Maybe we'll get better at it. This is Abby, btw, I suppose one of these days I'll get my own username. We'll see. Anyway, back to Calvin. He said two funny things this week, one I'll tell and one is probably better for Daddy to tell.

So, last night we were sitting down to a make-shift sort of leftovers dinner. We all had something different, Calvin had ordered a Turkey sandwich. As soon as he sat down, he dove in and had the thing pretty much polished off before the prayer. Grinning, he said something like, "I win, I beat everyone." Then he said, "That's because I ate head first."

Puzzled, I asked him how else would he eat? I know, I'm just oozing creativity. At that moment, Greg and I looked at each other and realized he meant he had a head start.

So there's one more thing I was supposed to write about and, of course, I've forgotten. That's what I have Greg for. Either I'll remember, or he'll be back soon to fill you in. Good night all.
