Going on a Speegie hunt...

Yesterday I fell asleep reading my book during quiet time. When I woke up an hour or so later, Steven, Addie, and Landon were all in the bed with me. We were just laying there playing and talking when I heard Landon say this...

Landon: Going on a Speegie hunt (then he looks at me with expectant eyes)
Me: (Not knowing what in the world a 'speegie' is, or where he learned this, I repeated what he said) Going on a speegie hunt?
Landon: I'm not afraid
Me: I'm not afraid.
Landon: What's that up ahead? (putting his hand on his forehead as if he was shielding his eyes from the sun or looking far into the distance)
Me: What's that up ahead? (mimicking his same actions.)
Landon: It's TALL TALL grass!
Me: It's Tall Tall grass!
Landon: Can't go over it, can't go under it, can't go around it, have to go through it! Walk Walk Walk Walk.
Me: Walk Walk Walk Walk...

Anyway, I thought it was so funny because I had never done this with him before so I wasn't sure where he learned it. He knew all the words, and after we went through the grass, we climbed the trees, swam through the water, and stomped through the mud. I asked him where he learned this and he said 'From Brother DeGraw, at my class at church.' I was pretty excited about that. If he can learn cute little things like this in his church class, then he's hopefully actually listening, so hopefully he's really learning the basics of the gospel while in his class too!! A mother can only hope!

As a side note: He didn't sleep in his bed all night last night. I guess chocolate milk isn't exciting enough to stay in bed all night long for. Maybe I'll actually make it over to Wal-Mart today to get a little prize bucket for him to pick stuff out of when he sleeps all night. Maybe that will work. Last night Steven had to go lay with Landon, and the sight of my 6'4" husband, alseep, in a toddler bed, just cracked me up! I couldn't get a good picture, but in this one, you can see that his knees are touching the twin bed, so you can get a good look at how long his legs are, and how folded up he has to be to fit into the bed!!
The other picture is of my sweet Addie rubbing her arms because she's obsessed with skin (especially people's arms) and when she's tired, she just wants a binkie and an arm to rub. If I wear long sleeves, she'll shimmy her hand up my sleeve so she can rub my skin or she'll just rub my neck and face. She's been like that since she was a brand new baby! Only when she was that little, she would pinch instead of rub!

Thomas was obsessed with elbows. He liked the rub our elbows and if we had a long sleeve shirt on he would do anything he could to get to the elbow.
