from the minds of kids

Knighton and Jessica were so difficult today while they were supposed to be cleaning their rooms. All I heard for hours was fighting and playing. As I put Allyson to bed they asked me to copy a song they wrote. Of course I was frustrated because that was time they should have been cleaning so I took the paper away and said I would talk about it later. When I got upstairs I couldn't believe what I read.

There You Are

riten and sung by: Knighton & Jessica Smith

I want to thank everyone who thought of me on my b-day. I had a great day but I missed my family. Kevin gave me my present early, it was stuff from Orsyon Gygi. Including a chefs coat. Audrey (cousin) gave me a game called blokus. It is fun you can even go online and play with people world wide. Christina and Megan (cousins gave me hot pads and oven mitts galore, hopefully I wont be able to loose them all. Marsha (mom in-law) gave me some sheets and my Mom got me some stuff for camp including a flashlight. I also got three text messages one from Megan, Kevin and Heather (sister in-law) and a call from Lori.(long time friend) thank you all for everything.
