A good laugh

After church today, I went to get the kids from their Primary classrooms.  Grant was excited to see me and wanted to show me his picture from Primary.  Here is what he showed me:

I realized as the girls also showed me their papers and I read what it said that the children were supposed to draw themselves in the oval.  Grant then said, "I didn't know how to draw myself, so I drew a forklift instead".  Oh my goodness did that give me a good laugh!

Here is it up close:

Grant loves to draw anything with wheels.  Mostly tractors and trucks.  Today it was a fork lift apparently. 

In other news, Kate is 6 weeks old today.  Emma is such a good little mother to her.  She really is very helpful to me.  I had a friend tell me when Grant was still under 1 year old and all my children were still very young that it would never be that hard again.  With the next children, the older ones would be older and more able to help.  I am really finding this to be true.  Here is Emma with Kate:

On Friday, Emma walked into the kitchen like this.  My initial reaction was, "Emma, No!"  But, Kate really did look so cute in the doll stroller that I said, "Keep a close eye on her and don't let her fall out and I'll take your picture".  Then we had a talk about safety with the baby.  

In other news, we finally found a dining room table!  Hooray!  We've been looking on Craigslist ever since the offer was accepted on the house, but haven't found the right one until now.  I love it!  And we got a great deal on it, too.  So, now I just need to clean it and we're set to have people over for dinner.  (Painting over the bright orange paint in the dining room would be nice, but I'm not sure quite when that is going to happen.)  I bet Grant won't be delighted when the table goes up.  He has lovingly named that room 'the ball room' because it was the only room in the house where I'll let him play with balls, i.e. no furniture/decorations to hurt!  I'll have to share pictures when I get it set up.
