Once a Child, always a Child: February 2007

Monday, February 26, 2007

The boys had a very bad day on Saturday. I didn't take pictures of the actual act but this was the consequences.
Instead of taking a nap or being quiet during their quiet time they went #2 in their underwear took it off and rubbed it into the carpet, on the walls and on the door. This is their 3rd time at this so they struck out; it has never been this bad however. So, they lost their toys, blankets (their little ones that they take every where), and grandma's stories that they listen to every night. They are slowly getting them back as prizes for good behavior. Hopefully they have learned their lesson.

Now that the word is out, here is the proof that there is only ONE baby. I am now 9 weeks pregnant; and I am way more nauseous this time. Hopefully I won't get huge soon.

Funny things our kid's say...

August 7, 2010

Lizzie was talking to "Isaac" on the phone; she started running around and said, "Isaac, Isaac, I know the way... the truth, and the life." The reason this is so funny is that she is learning the scripture John 14:6, "I am the way, the truth and the life. No man commeth unto the Father but by me."

Lizzie was playing phone with me today. She took two measuring spoons; I got one and she got the other.She started talking to me and I am talking back. Suddenly she says, "Mom, Are you talking to me?" "Yes, I'm talking to you.", then she says,"No, you're listening to me!" The reason I find that so funny is because I am often just listening to Lizzie.

Lizzie had a funny day today. This morning while taking a bath Lizzie said "I'm Ariel... and then started to sing like her, Aahhh aahhh aahhh.'

While walking to church this morning Lizzie wanted me to hold her, I said Lizzie are you a baby or a big girl, (in the past she will say without any cause, babies don't talk); so in her answer she said, "I talk so much!" Which just means she is a big girl, but it is so true.

Lizzie did not want Derek to go to work this morning. He told her, I have to go so I can make money so we can buy food. Lizzie replied, "we have food."

When I got them home and the boys saw them, Derek over heard Ethan as he was walking up the stairs, "oh, I'm so excited, I'm so excited about my fish." I think he thanked me 5 times in a row.

January 2, 2009 - For Christmas the boys got a 5 gal aquarium from Grandma and Grandpa. They had 2 mickey mouse fish and a placosomus in the tank. The placosomus, named Scooby, died after 2 weeks because he went behind the heater and couldn't get out. The mickey mouse fishs, named Freddy and Daphny, lasted 2 weeks and one day. When I was going shopping for a replacement placosomus they were having quiet time in there room and they decided to see what Daphny felt like so they took both Freddy and Daphny out of the tank not realizing that it would kill them. When I got home Derek saw the mess of water in their room by the tank and asked them what had happened, they started telling him about taking the fish out and telling us how squishy they were and slimy. Needless to say that night when they were getting ready for bed, Freddy and Daphny were floating.
