When I grow up...

The kids and I were in the car yesterday, having the age old discussion of, "What do you want to be when you grow up?" I have to say that I have been trying to talk about this with Conner lately, just to see what ideas he has for himself. I was flippantly asking him "what job do you think you might get where you can read all day and still get paid?"(... for those of you who don't spend time with Conner, he carries a book everywhere and reads ALL the time... I am not complaining... but it does seem to be an obsession at times.) Anyway, he told me "well mom, that's why I plan to be an author".. great... poor for life and if you ever saw his handwriting, you might know why I cringed a little and for you WASL lovers, he has yet to pass the Conventions section. But, of course, Garret had an answer too (when doesn't he?)... "Mom, I want to be a mathamagician when I grow up". (I tried hard not to Laugh OUT Loud! )"You know I do love math mom". Which he does. And I am sure whatever he decides to do, he will be a perfect mathamagician. This is the funniest thing as I know just this week I had a conversation with my first grade class about all of them being "mathematicians"... Oh that boy does crack me up!

P.S. Katie is still undecided, but on a side note, she is not having kids... apparently she has decided that childbirth is not for her... too many "Baby Story" shows.
