Big Soccer Nilk Ben

Okay, the title doesn't make any sense to those of you who did not spend the week with us when my dad was here. The big kids were all telling knock knock jokes, and Ben wanted to get in on the action. He turned to grandpa and said, "gnock, gnock."
Granpa said, "Who's there?"
Ben said, "Ben."
Grandpa said, "Ben who?"
Ben sat there for awhile and finally said, "Big soccer Ben."
It makes no sense, it's not even funny, but everyone at the table cracked up at Ben's first try at a knock-knock joke. So Ben, seeing the great reaction his first joke got tried again, but instead of Big soccer Ben, this time he said, "Nilk Ben." "Nilk" is what it sounds like when Ben says "milk." We all cracked up again.
I caught Ben outside on Sunday playing some soccer with ferver. I thought the pictures turned out really cute. He was outside all by himself and perfectly content to play a rousing game alone.

So cute!! I just love the slippers out there too. Half the time my kids' jokes don't make sense either. :)
