The Searle's Stories

• I have once again found my love for Saturdays, it disappeared the moment we moved to Burley last year but I am happy to say it is back! Cody is actually home on Saturdays and it is so nice to have an entire day to ourselves! Currently Cody is making German pancakes while this little lady and I and snuggling in bed.
•  She slept in her room for the first time yesterday but just for her naps. We don't want her in her own room while there is no blinds in the windows. Saturday project? OK!
  

• We stayed up until 2 in the morning last night! 2 AM! It was amazing. Cody finished putting the computer together that we bought (My laptop died in June, his screen is half falling off) And I am already excited for Monday to come so I can watch Downton Abbey on our new 24 in monitor
• Other Ellie news, she rolled over all by herself the other day! She was so frustrated and kicking her feet and rolled from her belly to her back! And still cried. But she did it twice. Now I just need her to do it while she is calm.
• We got her a bumbo the other day and so far she loves it. She doesn't like her boppy because it lays her down to much, she would rather be looking around at everything from a sitting view. 
• Despite our desperate attempts to save her from the thumb, we have a feeling she is going to be a thumb sucker. She will spit out her pacifier to put the heel of her hand in her mouth with her thumb folded into her fist. Once she gets that thumb out, we are doomed!

The real reason for this post is actually to share this amazing site I found. We got a laugh out of it and thinking about still makes me giggle a little. OK, a lot. Click here for the actual site. Its called "How do you decide who to marry? (written by kids)"

Here are a few of our favorites:

WHAT IS THE RIGHT AGE TO GET MARRIED?

No age is good to get married at. You got to be a fool to get married.
- Freddie, age 6 (very wise for his age)

WHAT WOULD YOU DO ON A FIRST DATE THAT WAS TURNING SOUR?

I’d run home and play dead. The next day I would call all the newspapers and make sure they wrote about me in all the dead columns.
-Craig, age 9

WHEN IS IT OKAY TO KISS SOMEONE?

When they’re rich.
- Pam, age 7

HOW CAN A STRANGER TELL IF TWO PEOPLE ARE MARRIED?

You might have to guess, based on whether they seem to be yelling at the same kids.
- Derrick, age 8

(I like this one a lot, maybe because I am really hoping that we don't become this!)

And last but not least:

HOW WOULD YOU MAKE A MARRIAGE WORK?

Tell your wife that she looks pretty, even if she looks like a truck.
- Ricky, age 10

Hunger Games anyone? If you haven't seen the new trailer, go now and watch it here! Its only a little over a month away!
