Can I Get An Amen!

On Sunday, our family was gathered in a group with others, praying before church. As we were finishing, Jack asked if he could pray, "of course", I said. He prayed out loud for, "all the people, the grass and the trees." It was very sweet and thorough.

Language

The kids and I went to a mom's group meeting Wednesday afternoon to hear a woman speak about teaching your children how to read and early childhood education. While there, she decided to read a book to the children. The only one she could find in the room was Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?  It was the Spanish version, so she jokingly asked the children if they could help her read it. Sam got right in her face and raised his voice, "I only speak, Eng-a-lish."

Presidential Priorities

Since learning about President's Day, Jack is really into President Obama. He wore a tie to school today, because Obama wears a tie. He was inquiring all about Obama's daily habits, what he does, what he wears, he even asked, "does Obama pee and poop." Before school he constructed a podium to speak to the people to, you know about the earth rotating around the sun.

After school, Jack was telling his friend Blair he wanted to play President and he was going to be Obama. Blair asked, "could you be another President like George Washington or Abraham Lincoln because, Obama is raising taxes and it is already hard enough to buy my legos."

Boobies

Sam had just finished a bath and was looking down at his chest, "those are my boobies," he said pointing down. "Yes they are," I responded. "Can I see yours," he asked, as he pulled out my shirt. "They are big," he said. "They come in all different sizes," I said. "Yeah," he said, "some are big, some are small, some are long and some are hairy."

Apple Picking

A week ago I took the boys apple picking, they were so excited. Who do you think picked all the apples? That's right, mom. They were into it for the first five minutes then they became more interested in eating the apples, telling me what to put in their basket and running away from bees.

 

 

Backseat Drivers

We were driving home the other night and a van started moving into our lane, my husband laid on the horn and from the back seat we hear, "crazy old lady" and "watch it lady."
