Our Island Family Life: Stuff and more Stuff

- Discussing my pregnancy with Cade, "You were pregnant 9 months? It takes that long?"

- "The Beatles were British?"
- "People can die from cancer?"
- After a fight with Will, "I really want to dump my drink on you! No, wait, then you would dump me on you. Wait, that's not right. What did I say?"
- After getting a cup of hot chai, "Is this hot?" Will, "No, it's from the arctic." Cade, "No! I mean is this from a machine?"

- Will reads a quote from a paper, "Wise people think all that they say and fools say all that they think." Cade,"That's mean. Is that Libra?"

Stuff and more Stuff

Posted by perphila at 4:05 PM

Well, I have been a lazy bum when it comes to updating this. It was a busy month. Swim lessons started up again for Sofie. I had a birthday and so did Cade. I can't believe he is twelve now. His dad didn't send a card or anything. He did call once, stuttering and hardly coherent but yet still had the presence of mind to try and blackmail Cade into coming for visits again by holding a birthday present as leverage. He did the same thing to Connor. Cade remembered that and wasn't impressed. Cade also got zip from his grandparents. I so love how Cade is made into a bad guy in al this. Anyway, his brothers and I pooled together and got him a bike. It wasn't anything expensive and very simple with no gears or anything. Just something to get from point A to B and easily fixed.

Sofie and I also went on a school field trip to another island. I posted some pics of the trip. Thankfully no one was seasick but it was close for a few of us. It was a blast. It was also cold since we had to camp in tents. We were both wiped out at the end though.

As for Connor....that is a whole other post.
