Yay! It's been a while since I've been able to post, computer stolen :(
Here is a backlog of cute Monkey and Cow items I've been saving up!

We are Blessed to be together during the COVID-19 epidemic. I'm asking the boys to journal every day. If they indicate in the writings they are scared at all, we stop and talk about it. We haven't had toilet paper in over 2 weeks - I'm not going to stop posting TMI now - but we do have Kleenex, each other, and are Blessed beyond belief.

2017
Kellan said we should write a thank you note to China because they make all his toys. He gets his thank you card issuing bug from me and Great Grandma Gall! *Beam*

Kellan, nonchalantly, mentioned "Mom, it's a good thing you've never been to Maine - they have a lot of lobsters!" (He's also playing to my obsession with hitting every state in the U.S.).

Little Kellan was my helper around the house. He was doing so good (and keep in mind he was 7 at this time). Then his productivity began to slow, and he asked if he could get fired. He wanted to watch T.V....

Keeping with this theme, when they boys have been super good, I have a habit of saying they have been little angels today! Kellan piped up and said, "Mom, I don't want to be an angel, I want to have fun!"...

Mister Cow was sitting on the couch enjoying his Doritos. I, of course, was talking to him, hopeful he was listening. After I *ahem* asked him nicely if he was listening, he looked at me with his big cow eyes and said, "sorry Mom! I didn't hear you because I was munching!"...

The boys couldn't believe they live at college. They got upset and said they don't want to do that! (That's fine with me, I'll home-school college my baby boys! :)) Puttin' my MSU education to work! But before I got too excited, Camden said he's going to Minnesota State and Kellan's going to "Penn-a State". Guess I'm buying two homes in two states!

Little did I realize Camden had an alarm set for 4:51am So much for a sleepy teenager. Oh and that got stopped really quickly!

Because I'm a gourmet chef, the boys and I eat out frequently. (Watch this be used against me...).  Camden insists we play tic-tac-toe. Many know my Camden is not a kisser. Camden marveled "when we play tic-tac-toe we're hugs and kisses, and I'm always a kiss!" I will take it little Cam Jams!

It was getting close to Kellan's 8th birthday. Camden said he hoped Kellan turns one on his birthday. Kellan got ridiculously mad and said, "I don't want to have the water turned into blood and splashed on me again!" I think he was referring to his Baptism, which was obviously not a pleasant memory...

On a Saturday, I was working, but told the boys I would play with them in the afternoon. Little smart Camden came in my office around 9am and asked if it was P.M. yet...
