a laugh a day

Seriously- I think I could post a funny story about John Mark every single day. We live in our very own comedy show!

Here are the stories from the weekend.

Penguin Shoes

Friday evening we were getting ready to head to our usual Friday afternoon spot- Cuppies & Joe. I told JM to get his shoes from his bedroom and he said "new shoes?" I replied yes and walked into the kitchen. I heard something about "penguin shoes" and then nothing for about 10 minutes. I called to the back of the house where he was and he said "just a second... i puttin' on my penguin shoes." Having no clue what he was talking about, I got the camera because I knew the was going to be good. This is what I saw when he came into the kitchen. Don't worry- the cup of pens, that's his cup of "coffee."

Robot John Mark

A sweet friend of ours was cleaning out her toy room and gave us a little tikes police car. John Mark has spent everyday for the past two weeks playing in that car. This past Wednesday Kristen brought the matching gas pump to the office. You would have thought the thing gave out candy or something as excited as John Mark was about it.

But that's not the best part of the story. Thursday evening he carried the gas pump into the living room from his playroom and sat it down on the couch. This was our conversation:

JM: "My friend John Mark wants to snuggle you just a little bit, my mom."

(he refers to Micah and I as "my mom" and "my dad"... who knows why!)

Me: "Oh.. okay... so now the gas pump is your friend?"

JM: "yeah, my mom- he's robot John Mark."

(said like it was the most OBVIOUS thing in the world)

So for the rest of the weekend, when we would eat, "Robot John Mark" would sit at JM's little table with fake food from his kitchen. He would get "milk" at night and JM puts him to bed each evening in the playroom before he goes to bed.

What a beautiful friendship. :o)
