Louder is better

I tend to try and be as honest with my children as possible. In every way. So the boy started asking me questions during meal or snack time like

"What's in this, mommy?"

If it was a piece of bread I would tell him,

"Well it has flour, sugar, butter, milk..." etc...

So the other day the boy asks me,

"Mom, what's in the house?"

I said there were bedrooms, couches, toys and he said

"No mom, what's in it, you know like flour, sugar, milk..."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The boy refused to share something with the girl today so I took the something away. I went into another room. Obviously he was still upset because I heard a soft THUD against a wall. Like something soft had been thrown against it. I made no response, and shortly thereafter heard a whispered three-year-old voice say,

"I need something louder..."

I had to stifle my laughter after I heard a video tape smash against the wall. It was hilarious!
(not the video tape being thrown mind you!)

OkAY OkAy

Alrighty then. I guess it's official. The blog will continue. I'm really glad I got so much response.

Today the boy was saying the blessing on the food, "Heavenly Father, thank you for I am a child of God to sing at night..."
It was priceless



One of the girl's favorite words now is "sunshine". I wish we saw more of it.





In case you were wondering, it's waterproof make-up.

Better then permanent marker I guess!

Are we there yet?

Hello. Is anybody out there? Sometimes I feel like this is all for nothing. Does anybody visit my blog still? I know you do mom, but I can send you pics all you want. I want everybody who visits this blog to respond in some way. If I know people are out there and interested in what I have to say, I will continue. Life gets a little hectic sometimes, and just all out busy. I am pulled in so many directions now and it will only get worse with another little one. Well, post a comment, e-mail me, call me or something to let me know I'm not wasting my time here.

Happy Valentines Day

There are so many things to love. I am glad there is a day set aside to celebrate those things in our lives. Here is my list of just a few things that I love.

My AMAZING Hubby, my better half, my sweetheart, my best friend. I wouldn't want to be traveling this fantastic journey of life with anyone else.

My active and sweet little 3-year old boy. He brightens my day, everyday!

My enormously gorgeous spitfire 20 mo. old little girl. She is stubborn and likes to have things her way. In a lot of ways she is like her mommy.

The new little life inside my belly. THAT'S RIGHT: I am pregnant! WAHOO. I am still pretty sick but we're just stoked!

My friends and family.

My Blondy beautiful dog.

Twizzlers NIBS

Sour punch straws

Jack Johnson music

My garden (or now: the idea of my garden)

Bubble gum balls

Bedtime

Cozy fireplaces in wintertime

Tuesday nights

There's heaps more, but this post could be pages and pages if I go on. I know it's a little late but Happy Valentines Day to all.
