Oatmeal...

This morning, Craig made Matthew oatmeal for breakfast. When Matthew asked why oatmeal, Craig (the awesome Dad) replied, "Because it's a cold, snowy day and it'll warm you up."

Craig then went out to start the cars and when he came back in, he checked on Matthew and asked him how much of his oatmeal he had eaten...

Matthew responded, "One inch and one centimeter."

We decided that is 7 y/o for "not very much"!

Come visit us Grandpa Nute!!!

This morning Matthew said he was out of snack at school. He usually takes a box of Cheezits or crackers, etc. Well, this morning before school, he chose a box of Ritz crackers.

After they got in the truck...

Craig asked Matthew, "Do you have your snack?"

Matthew replied, "Yup, in my backpack."

Craig, "You like Ritz, ha?"

Matthew, "Ya, they're good."

Craig, "They're really good with peanut butter on them."

Matthew sighed and looked down at his bag, "Ya, I remember the good times."

Craig, "Good times? What do you mean?"

Matthew, "I remember me and Grandpa used to eat Ritz crackers with peanut butter and watch fishing shows."

Awwww....We miss Grandpa Nute!

Matthew & Mom


Conversation with Matthew...

I picked Matthew up from school today. Here's the conversation that transpired between his school and getting back to work...

Matthew: "I haven't been on Webkinz in 2 days. That's a long time."

Mom: "Yup."

Matthew: "They can't sleep forever, huh?"

Mom: "Nope, you'd better check on it."

Matthew: "Yeah, Michael slept for two days. That's a long time. How does he do that??? That's like more than 24 hours."

Mom: "I know!"

Matthew: "That's like human hibernation! Like, we should put it in Ripley's. But, you need a picture. Do we have a picture of Michael sleeping?"

Mom: "Yeah."

Matthew: "Does it have to be the same time the picture was taken?"

Mom: "Probably not."
