Higher

Poor James a little
Burnt out from the weekend and not feeling 100%..
"Do you want to sleep on your bottom bunk so if you need us in the night it's easier?"
"No.. The air is cleaner up here.. The higher you go in the atmosphere the cleaner it is."

James' plans

James: "that's it I'm running away!"
Abbie: "but James
You're my big brother and if you run away you will get too sweaty."
James: "well then I will
Invent a machine that turns my sweat into water I can drink."

Bye bye Daniel

Abbie says "Mommy I don't like Daniel Tiger anymore.. He has bad hair cause his hair is all gone."

French fry?

James asked me what is the world record for the longest French fry... Turns out it is 34 inches!

Love

Eric went to target tonight with Bruno and Kathy. He knew my running armband was broken and saw one on sale so he bought it for me with his own money. That means were doing something right, right?

Meanies

James 

"Mom.. You don't know how lucky you are... When you were a kid you had two nice parents.  I have two mean parents."

Back to school haircut

James has maintained for a couple years now that he's never getting married. Tonight getting his back-to-school haircut Andrew said to him "All your girlfriends in first grade will love your haircut." James said "I don't have any girl friends." Daddy "Well someday you will." James "No I won't dad.. They'll never catch me!"
