The KAT's Meow
In Primary, the children were learning "Love One Another" with the sign
language and when they finished, Jet said loudly for everyone to hear,
"I did it so good."
Jet will often ask for help for us to be kind to each other in prayers. When saying the blessing on our dinner one evening, he prayed, "Help us be kind to the food."
Mom: I love you very much.
Jet: Yes, you do.
Mom: Do you want to visit Oregon and Washington? To visit Grandma and Grandpa?
Jet: I want to visit George-grain Washington and go to Grandma and Grandpa's house.
Jet: Does this game have a zebra?
Mom: Can you spot a zebra? I mean, can you stripe a zebra?
Jr. Jr.: Are you okay, Mom?
Mom: No.
Jet: I'm fine.
Jr.Jr.: Mom, I have a friend named Nick and apparently, his parents think he's poison.
Mom (looks concerned).
Jr. Jr.: I asked his parents about him and they just went on and on about, "Our son, Nick."
Mom (immediately pops up to add that to The KAT's Meow).
Jet (to Nichole): Are you awake?
Nichole: Yes.
Jet: Why?
Nichole: Because you pushed my head.
Jet "learned" the song, "Trogdor," from hearing us sing it. It's from Homestar Runner. In the song, Trogdor is a dragon who burninates all the peasants in their thatch roof cottages!
Jet's version when he sings it has become "Tractor" who burninates the "presents" in their "cabbages."

May Greetings
May is always busy busy busy so I was glad to start the month off on May 1st (May Day) with a quick jaunt to Bridal Veil Falls before tackling my To Do list.
If I'm being honest, I did have visit Bridal Veil Falls on my To Do list for that day. Check.

Bonding Time
They had a great time together. By the time they finished the puzzle there were three missing pieces. So they went to bed and the next morning before Jet woke up, Jeremy told me about it. I found the missing pieces in the crate where we keep the puzzles (there are a lot of loose puzzle pieces in there) and put them next to the almost finished puzzle. When Jet got up, he was thrilled to find the pieces there and was able to finish the puzzle.

Our Little Singer and Dancer
After the success of Alice in Wonderland Jr. in March, those students from the play were invited to perform at an Elementary School Drama Showcase with a few other schools. Lucky's group performed three pieces from the play while they wore their cast shirts.

Air Fryer French Bread Pizza
I've learned some things from Six Sisters' Stuff over the years. Because of them, I am not scared of using my Instant Pot. Instant Pot Honey Garlic Chicken with rice is one of my go to recipes when I'm in a hurry.
I don't have a lot of experience with my air fryer but thanks to Six Sisters' Stuff again, I got to try out another new recipe. Air Fryer French Bread Pizza.
Simple and I like the result. Great crunch. And pizza's my favorite food anyway. I look forward to trying other types of pizza besides pepperoni now that I know this is a thing.
