Things Joash Says

Oh to be 4. Some of the things Joash says and does really make us laugh. Here is a little smattering from the last few weeks.

Joash has suddenly decided that "working" at the desk in his room is really cool. Now when he wakes up in the morning, he looks out the window and then sits at his desk and draws me a picture. Yesterday he said,"I maybe a little late for school tomorrow, since I have to draw you a picture when I wake up in the morning."

*************************************
One day Wilbert let Joash sit on his lap in the tractor and help move the loader and steer. He then declared, "I am all growed up to be a man. I am great helper now for Daddy!"

*************************************
The other day I was getting after Joash for climbing on top of the kitchen table. 

"When can I climb up on a table, Mom?"
"When you have money and buy your own table." 
"But that won't work. There isn't any room for another table."
"Well, you will have your own table in your own house someday."
"But I want to live with you forever, Mom."

Meet Messy and Dessy Chessy, Joash's imaginary spider friends that he makes with his hands. They have been around for quite sometime. Dessy Chessy was named Kate at first, then Messy Westy. According to Joash, when it is Dessy Chessy birthday, this spider gets a new name. So I asked when Messy is getting a new name. "Well, Messy doesn't know you can change your name on your birthday."

And today he informed us that tomorrow or maybe Monday is Dessy Chessy's birthday and he will be getting a new name. Joash even went up to his room to consult his calender about what day really is Dessy Chessy's birthday.

He cracks me up

This Is Where It Ends by Cindy K. Sproles

And when he died fifty years later, he made her promise to tell no one about the box or the treasure it contained. Now at ninety-four, Minerva is nearing the end of what has sometimes been a lonely life. But she's kept her promise. Even so, rumors of hidden gold have a way of spreading, and Minerva is visited by a reporter, Del Rankin, who wants to know more of her story. As an unlikely friendship develops, Minerva is tempted to reveal her secret to Del. But the truth of what's really buried in the box may be hidden even from her. I really enjoyed this book. It is quality historical fiction with a strong narrative voice. I really liked the characters and it was interesting to see how all of the secrets they carried with them affected them. I enjoyed the relationships between the characters and how the setting was

Now that he's back, she's been praying for the chance to make things right, but she never expected God's answer to leave her flat on her face--literally--and up to her ears in meddling. When the younger sister Pete was separated from as a child shows up in Sleeping Grass with her eleven-year-old son, Pete is forced to face a past he buried long ago, and Wilma discovers her long-awaited chance at redemption may come at a higher cost than she's willing to pay.
