March 21, 2013<br />
<br />
Enjoyed a really fun morning playdate. My highlight: the intermission act of the girl's "Fashion Show," featuring Maximus' musical rendition detailing his personal quest to find happiness through riches. He found platinum, jewels and other riches, but he was never really happy.... until he learned that sharing what he had with others brought real happiness.<br />
<br />
His production included props and he sang the entire story. Pretty sweet. Love, love, love that boy and (just about) everything that pours out of him. :-)</div>

Xander (7): You know, chemistry is the bridge between every different type of science. It’s like chemistry is the roots and trunk, and anatomy, astronomy and biology are the branches, and philosophy is a falling leaf.<br />
<br />
Me: Which branch is philosophy falling from?<br />
<br />
Xander: I’m not sure. I don’t really know all the factions of science yet. I only know a few so far. </div>

<span style="font-size: 12pt;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">Millie (5) looking at the PBS Kids App: Xander, what does this say?</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">Xander (7): That says “Live TV.”</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">Millie: What does it mean?</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">Xander: It means that this show is playing right now somewhere in a hotel. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 13.8px;">

<br />
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">We primarily use streaming and DVDs for the media our kids watch. The only time they see broadcast television is when we stay at hotels. Apparently Xander thinks that’s the only place you can watch live television. Funny!</span></div>

<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">Xander (7) had a school assignment to pick out any poem and read it. The lesson plan suggested nursery rhymes, but Xander insisted on reading Shakespeare because he heard his poems were really good. So we looked up Shakespeare’s sonnet 106 and read it together. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 13.8px;">

<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">When we finished, Xander sat there silent for a minute and then took a deep breath. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 13.8px;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"></span><br /></div>

<span style="font-size: 12pt;">“Well, that wasn’t too catchy.”</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 13.8px;">

Maggie (9): Mom, are you proud of me? Are you proud of my hard work?<br />
<br />
Me: Maggie, I am SO proud of you. You worked so hard, and you did a great job.<br />
<br />
Maggie (with an enormous, charming smile): Well, how 'bout you turn that pride into CASH.<br />
<br />

<br />
Just overheard Maggie (4) singing an interesting variation on the song 'O is for Obey' from BSF: "O is for obey, O is for obey, do whatever you want to do, O is for obey." (To the tune of “Farmer in the Dell”)</div>

Millie (5): But Jesus wasn’t married. Why didn’t He get married?<br />
Mom: That’s a good question. Why do you think He didn’t get married.<br />
Xander (7): Probably because He was 100% God and 100% Man.<br />
Mom: Good Point. </div>

Mom: Millie, What are the two most important things you believe?<br />
Millie (5) : I believe that I was snuggling with Caddy as soon as they gave her to me. And I believe that God is. </div>

Max (12), bemoaning the introduction of yoga to his PE class: “You’re supposed to empty your mind and focus on the movements. But I’ve always been a person of the brain, not the body.”</div>

Mom: Xander, you really love thinking about science, don’t you?<br />
Xander (7): Yes. Hey, Mom: Why do you think God made the universe to be always expanding? I think maybe it was to show us that we can’t get to heaven on our own.<br />
