peanut picker & math

henry picked peanuts with steve today, briefly, before the rain (henry's 1st time)...when i picked him up and asked him about the peanuts, he said "they not good for me...but they good for daddy" :) after talking to steve, i found out that this was henry's way of explaning "i don't like to eat green peanuts but daddy sure does" - hee hee - so cute :)

jake got a 100% E+ grade on his 2nd math test for kindergarten :)

student of the week

9/19-9/23

Jake was chosen as "Student of the Week" for his Kindergarten class this week. It has been fun gathering his show 'n tell items and he wants to take cupcakes one day. They are on letter G so tomorrow he is taking gourds for the class and an apple gourd for the teacher :)
9/21
i am peeling potatoes. jake just bopped henry because henry flushed the potty prematurely before jake was done....henry handled the issue by screaming "your in time out, jake! 1..2..5...go to your room.!" i am back to peeling potatoes.


9/25
So, our newest "pet" is a cricket from the farm, who is missing one of his rear legs. Jake brought it home and asked what they ate. We looked it up and found out they eat about anything, including bread and grapes...I was skeptical. So Jake goes into the kitchen and drops all kinds of stuff in the cage....and good golly if that cricket didn't start to eat the bread immediately! Oh, the fun we have at the Berryman house :)

dong it

9/20

henry and i just finished mopping at the farm...henry took the mop and said he needed to "dong it and chop it" in the water...ha! thank goodness he was there to dong it!

A story about Jake

Jake's Children's Church teacher, Jeannie Rowland, shared this story with me today via Facebook:


You know how much I love him in Children's Church - so smart with a dry wit on top of that. I asked everyone if they thought they possibly could walk on water. They all shook their heads except for Jake. He said, "Yes, you can walk on water because ice IS water and you can walk on ice." I told him he was absolutely right. (Just wanted you to know that I did ad a disclaimer. If they wanted to use their faith and practice walking on water, they should only use mud puddles and kiddy pools. Maybe I should have left out mud puddles.)

Also just wanted to add that Henry calls a computer a "paloone" and got a free balloon at the grocery store today and promptly sent it to Poppy in Heaven when we got home, at his request (I did not prompt him)-

a few more things

One more tidbit:

Henry also has his 19th tooth coming in, one of his top 2 year molars (on his left)- He also told me "I bit a booger" today and has begged me to tickle him alot today :)

Jake loves Kind. and had his first test on the letter C - got a S+ - he is now on the letter O - he has the same letter books that me and Steve used when we were little - pretty neat!
