Four boys and a little lady: I've been tagged!

I've been tagged!

Here are the rules:

1. Go to your documents/pictures.
2. Go to your 6th file.
3. Go to your 6th picture.
4. Blog about it.
5. Tag 6 people to do the same.
6. So here we go...

This was taken in Orlando in February of 2007. I love this picture because it is a good representation of one of the differences between Samuel and Isaac. Samuel is a daredevil - no fear - will try anything - just swinging along having a great time - posing for the camera - come what may (and love it!). Isaac is looking ahead - thinking about his arms getting tired - calculating the distance to the ground - checking for sharp objects below - planning his "soft landing" - deciding not to play on the high rings again anytime soon.

Thanks for the tag, Mary! Most people I know have already done this or been tagged for this, so I tag anyone who wants to do it.

Today's Tidbits

Isaac: "I'm going to make a machine that can make everything super. Everyone will want to be super. Then we will have to change the name of our Country to Super Country. That might be a problem though, because when everyone is super then nobody is. I guess I'll just have to make only one super for each country. Except Russia. They would be way too super."
Isaac has been practicing his directions - "right" and "left." Today whenever we needed to make a turn I would ask him which way it was. After several successive correct answers he said, "Mom, I'm a great which-wayer man."
Grace wanted "cheese cereal" for breakfast. We just couldn't figure out what she was talking about - she finally had to go get it all out of the cupboards herself. She is now enjoying a bowl of cheezits and fritos sprinkled generously with Parmesan.
Nathan sneezed this morning as he was getting ready for his half-marathon so I said to Isaac "I guess Daddy is too sick to run today, you will have to run his race for him." Isaac: "No, those big guys will all beat me up!"
I was putting a white button down blouse on Grace for church (she wore it under a sleeveless dress). She was so excited and said: "I'm going to be like Dad?" I said "yes," "Like Sam?" "yes" "Like Isaac?" "yes, and you'll wear a dress like Mommy." She put her hand over her eyes and said "NOT AGAIN!"
Isaac: "Mom, you said that the lady in the blue shirt (one of the child care workers at the gym) was nice, but she didn't tell me her name or invite me to her Birthday party. She is SO mean."
Uncle Ben: "What should I do for my date tonight?" Isaac: "Go to the dump, then go to McDonald's, then go to the store and buy some goldfish." Sam: "Go to a fancy dinner and a nice hotel" (We had to explain that it wouldn't be appropriate for Ben to do that unless he was married to the girl!)
Lora's friend: "Is that a wishlist on the board? Because that is my Christmas wish list, except for the doll." (This was Sam's spelling list for this week - doll, clock, rocket, lollipop, golfing, trampoline)
Me: "Grace, why did you hit your brother?" Grace: "I was just kidding Mom!"
In a moment of frustration Isaac called me "Mommy Bradford Fisher!" (If you didn't guess - his middle name is Bradford)
Samuel and Isaac were playing in the playroom when I heard Samuel shout, "Isaac, you DEMOCRAT!!" I went in and asked him what a Democrat was and he said "You know, someone evil." Isaac solemnly nodded in agreement. I don't know where they got that - if you know my family you know that Grandma Cherie is not going to like this one!
Isaac was sitting next to me on the couch while I was writing emails on my laptop. He left for a minute and when he came back Grace had taken his spot. He said, "Mom, Gracie took my snuggle!"
Nate's sister Sherrie has a great feature on the side of her blog where she lists funny things her kids say and do. I am shamelessly copying her idea. Thanks Sherrie!
