We were all getting ready for school one morning. Camden kept asking what day it was, was he going to school, etc. Finally I told him to get his shoes on and he said "well, I guess this is happening..."

Kellan says he's a hippo-tom-i-num

If I could bottle and sell Kellan's laughter, I'd be a millionaire. That kid just is so happy and doesn't have a care in the world.

I picked the boys up from school and it must have been definitely pick up time, because the place was packed. I was leading the boys through the traffic jam in the hallway. Some of the parents were kind of looking at me, and I thought "Oh good! It must show I'm losing weight!" Then a little tap from Camden on my arm had me look down at him. He just pointed behind us to Kellan casually strolling down the hallway with his pants around his ankles. That kid has a pot belly, but no waist to hold those pants up!

Camden rarely gives kisses, so when he grabbed my face and brought it to his, I thought "Oh a rare Cam kiss!". Then he just proceeded to put his mouth around my nose. I was stunned and just kind of sat there. He pulled away and said "You don't have any boogers, but I feel hair". Nothing like a 5 year old to boost your self esteem...

Camden is so logical. He can't stand when Kellan makes things up or pretends to see something that isn't there (airplane, bus, etc.). Camden just gets so worked up. I finally pulled Camden aside and said, "this is ok what Kellan's doing. He's using his imagination and that's just fine!". It was dark out and we were driving home and Kellan said he saw a helicopter. After frantically searching the sky, Camden said, "He must be using his imagistation".

I told the boys we were on our way to pick up Dad's new truck. Kellan looked really surprised and said "We can't pick up the truck. We're too little to hold it!"

On the way to get said truck, all 4 of us were in the car and talking all at once. We were all getting frustrated that we weren't being heard and couldn't hear what was being said. Then there was complete silence for about 17 seconds. Camden piped up from the back seat and said "well now what?".

One of the other teachers told me that Camden is Miss Jackie's teachers pet. Of course he is. He's the cutest smartest best parented kid in there!
