For My Memory

~ Ben: "How can I give money to Jesus if he lives in my heart?"
~ Ben: (At the park to some boys who were pushing Addison out of the way, yelled very loudly); "BE NICE TO MY SISTER!"

~Addison: Instead of Oops or Uh oh, when she drops something she says, "Okie-dokie artachokie".
~ Addison: (When playing a game with Nana and Ben, Ben handed her the wrong blanket, which she unknowingly took because it was very dark, and started sucking her fingers): "This is not it!" (Realizing it wasn't the right D.)
~ Addison: (Upon waking up in the morning and finding me asleep in the bed next to her): "You sleep in Benny's bed? That is a GREAT idea!"

Both of my kids, about 57 times a day:
"I wanna go to Jonny's house." "I wanna go up in a oplane." (Airplane, Addison says Oplane.) "How many more naps till we go to Jonny's house?"

I love Addison's outfit in this picture, she picked it out.


Ben is getting some ideas.

Oh, but you must add: When Ben first gave her the wrong blanket in the dark, she said (so sweetly) "Thank you so much, Benny." She snuggled back down beside me, stuck her fingers in her mouth then: "THIS IS NOT IT!!!!" I've told many people that story today. So funny.

In a Nut Shell...

Saturday afternoon, 2pm, got home from Costco and thought I might be going into labor. Troy woke up from his nap at 3:30, sensed what was going on and was not too happy about it at all. Thinking it was pretty early, but not want wanting to take any chances, we left for the hospital a bit before 4 o'clock Yep, too early. Walked the halls for an hour which produced more of these... Which felt like this... And at 8:42pm they led to this... We are so thrilled to add a precious baby girl to our family We love you Mia Joy! (7lbs 2oz, 18.5" long)

I know that people come from good places and the intentions behind their comments are never bad, and sometimes they're actually funny, but sometimes I just want to say, um, really? Is that the BEST thing you can think of to say? Here are some of my faves from last week... "I'm going to un-friend you on facebook because you do not look like you just had a baby a week ago." - sorry? "What's her name? ... Oh I know SO MANY Mia's. Like, SO many." - great. "Are you guys finished yet? Is there some literature out there I can get for you (to teach you about prevention)?" (This one is my favorite) - "I'm the oldest of three and I am SO glad my parent's didn't have a fourth." - um... okay. This is the one I hear from almost everyone, it's not necessarily a bad thing to say, I just get it A LOT, "Two boys and two girls? Oh, the perfect family." Does that mean before Mia we had an imperfect family? I also hear endle

Crafty Me

I'm pretty excited because I'm not crafty, at all, but when I saw this idea on my new favorite crafty blog I got all giddy because I thought, "I can do that!" and so I did. And since my kids ARE crafty, go figure, I had all the stuff to make them on hand - yippee! All I had to do was buy the goodies that make the wings, which only cost me a dollar (thank you Dollar Tree!). I put them in the kid's little Easter buckets. I hope they like them as much I do. :-)
