The Candy Jar

I've been meaning for a while to buy a candy jar.  One that sits on my entry table and holds seasonal candy.  A couple of weeks ago I finally got one and filled it with peppermint kisses.  So, yummy!  One morning, I grabbed a handfull and asked my kids how many days were left before we leave on our big vaction to Walt Disney World next month.  When they got the number right, I'd toss them a candy.  Well, it must have made a big impression because later that day I saw Zoey in front of the candy jar.  She softly said the number to herself and then helped herself to a piece of candy!  I got a good laugh out of that. 

A few days later, I again quized my kids on the number of days and as soon as everyone yelled out the right number Porter said, "I'll get the candy!" 

Sometimes I wonder what made me laugh before I had kids!

Regan's Song

So, here is the video of Regan singing her first solo.  I was really nervous for her.  There were a ton of people there and she was looking like she was going to be sick.  But she came down and was so composed and sang so clear and pitch perfect!  I was so proud!

Her solo is near the beginning, so you can just listen to that and not the whole song.

Scott and I got a little teary-eyed when we heard her sing!  She didn't sound nervous at all!  What a fun "parent moment"!
