And then Kaj says...

Skinner is out cutting wood with the chainsaw and Kaj is giving direction.  Kaj says "I am going to roll these logs down so you can cut them"  Skinner says " You be careful so you don't roll them on top of you"  And then Kaj says" I am more worried about you than me"  Skinner says "Why because I am old and slow"  Kaj says " Yea, remember the last time you rolled the logs down and got your foot stuck."!

Also yesterday the 22nd of September Kaj got to shoot the beebee gun for the first time.  That is quite a bit of fun for him.  He can't cock the gun though so he still needs help and we don't want him shooting by himself anyway.  He did mention that Grandpa doesn't like him doing things that aren't safe.  Another cool thing about the gun is that was Grandma Gert's old gun.  So it has some years on it because I think she said that it was her Dad's.

6 years

My boy is six.  So far so good!  The big party is this weekend so hopefully I will get my act together and post more pictures then.  And stories of course.

Not for the easily embarrassed

Kaj: Daddy has big nuts, I have little nuts, Did you know they feel like balls.  What are those things?
Mommy:  Those are your testicles. 
K: What are those for?
M:  That is where seaman is made and then you get older and have a wife and you want to have a baby the seaman will come out your penis and go into your wife and you will make a baby.
K: I don't get it....I am going to pee on my wife that doesn't make any sense!

Later
K: I am glad I don't have to have babies.  And I can pee standing up.  I am glad that I am a boy.  I don't want to have any babies
M:  You have to have babies so that I can be a Grandma.
K: You don't want to be a Grandma they are old and you don't want to be old do you. 
M:  I am going to get old anyway so I want to be a Grandma when I am old.
K: (Laughing)

On the more adult side of things Brandi had a great weekend and is becoming such a young lady.  She got to go on an archealogical dig in Grand Portage and the people that she was digging with asked if she would go to Isle Royale with them next summer for a week for a dig out there.  She is very excited about it.  I hope it all works out. 

One more thing

So Kaj comes home from the first day of school and I ask him how it went.  He said he couldn't tell me it was a secreat.  I asked why was it a secreat and it is because I am a girl he couldn't tell me.  I literally had to get school information from Skinner!  I hope this is a short phase.

Jobs

My Dad always wanted me to make a list of the jobs that I have had.  I haven't done it but I thought I would get Kaj and Brandi started.  To be honest I am not very sure for Brandi.  Kaj and Brandi both have picked up mail for the neighbors and have made a few dollars doing that. Brandi has worked at the Farmer's Market with her Papa and she has worked spreading seed for her Dad.  Kaj went in last week and asked my boss at the bank for a job.  So he was the candyman for 3 days and made 90 cents.  He also did the recycling, stuffed notices and got things organized at the bank.  He orginally asked for a job.  I can't remember if I have put this story on here or not.  So I will just tell it from the start.  Kaj said he wanted a job with big money.  I said he should ask my boss.  So he came into work with me one day and asked Mike for a job.  Mike said he could be the candy man so Kaj filled the candies, recycled boxes and then we went to deliver them to the recycling center.  Kaj forgot to ask for the big money part so he had to go back to Mike and say "I forgot to ask to get paid for the job"  Mike asked how much he wanted and Kaj said "90 dollars".  Mike laughed and said "how about 90 cents" Kaj said sure.  So he worked the next day and he went in to ask to get paid and Mike said tomorrow was pay day.  So Kaj had to go in for a 3rd day to make his 90 cents.  The grocery store offered to pay him 3 times what Mike was paying but Kaj only wants to work at the bank. 

Oh Brandi did watch Kaj a bit this summer so that was another job that she started this summer.  Brandi also just started volleyball this fall.  I am so excited for her but I am trying not to pressure her even though I think she could make one smokin volleyball player!
