I hail from a heritage of women who appreciate some merriment in life. Maybe you do too. Below are just a few humorous memories from our year.
Actual things we’ve said to our kids this year:
Please keep the fly swatter out of the oatmeal
Don’t use your spoon as a sword!
Don’t use your sword as a spoon!
Please don’t brush your nose with your toothbrush
No running with a sword!
No running with the ipad!
No running with your instrument!
Please stop eating your leg!
Please don’t hand me your snot
Frozen peas go in your soup, not in your armpit!
Actual places we have found our children’s socks:
In the firewood bag
Under the porch
In the garden
Under the swing-set
Countless loose socks around a certain child’s carseat
In the sink
In the garage
In the gravel pile
Under the front bushes
In the basement
Along the driveway
And many, many more…
Mabel (age 3) to Mommy -- “Oh my dear Mommy! I have holes in my ears! TWO holes in my ears!”
Amelia (age 8) found Mabel (age 3) sitting naked on a chair holding a stick with her wet undies hanging from the end, almost like one would hold a marshmallow over a fire. Amelia asked Mabel what she was doing and Mabel responded “Just waiting for my undies to dry!”
Wishing you many moments of joy and happiness in 2026,
Christy and the Howe crew (Barry, Ansel-10 yo, Amelia- 8yo, Conall-5yo, Mabel-3yo)
