Love that Reasoning!

I will have pictures from Christmas soon. I need to get them from Bob. We had a wonderful time with family, but that is for another time.

I couldn't let time go by without posting about the reasoning of kids - Luke in particular. I picked the kids up after Luke got out of school today. We came home to have a hot dog lunch. Kayla had a lollipop from the store, and Luke really wanted it. So he was almost finished with his hot dog when I told him he could have 3 M & M's. That brought a smile, but the gears started working. He waited a moment and then got up on a chair to get his M & M's. I told him he should really finish his hot dog first. If he had room in his tummy for candy, then he had room for hot dog. Boy then the reasoning kicked in - he told me that he couldn't finish his hot dog because then he wouldn't have room for his candy. :-) How can a grandma argue with that logic? I would rather have an M & M than a hot dog!! So Luke got his candy. And the other two enjoyed their candy. Everyone was happy.
