"Yes"

"Did Elijah come out of your tummy?"

"No"

"Did Elijah come out of Daddy's tummy?"

While sitting in the living room I received this text from Isabelle.

Praying for a spouse

I've been praying with the kids for their future spouses for a couple months. So tonight, I'm praying with Isaac and I say, like every night "please allow Isaac to grow to be the man of God that you want him to be, and his wife to be the woman of God that you want her to be, and please allow them to stay pure for each other" and he interrupts with "Is it Alyssa?" 

"I'll put it on your list"

     Several years ago I began answering requests for items with "I'll put it on your list." 

   "Mom, may I get these Legos?"

   "I'll put it on your list."

   "Mom, I'd like this doll."

   "I'll put it on your list."

You get the picture.

This evening Ellie was taking a bath and yelled out to me "Mom, may I take a shower?"

Isaac responded by going to her and saying "Sissy, I'll put it on your list, k?"

Then came to me "Mom, I put a shower on Sissy's list."

 

Isabelle's Kitchen

My goal for this year has been to allow/force Isabelle to have more cooking and kitchen responsibilities. Today she is helping me prepare for Ellie's birthday party. We will be having a taco bar, so she is dicing onions. 

She's a natural in the kitchen! 

Here she is posing, silly kiddo! 

Gracious Child!

Ellie says "Mom! Look at Lijah!"

I look over to see him playing with blender bottles and potentially making a mess. I say "Elijah!"

Ellie pipes up "Gracious child!"

Baby Jesus

The kids were happily playing with play doh as I fixed dinner. We were discussing things that had gone on in the last couple of days and that it would soon be Christmas. Elizabeth called to me; "Mommy, look! I make Baby Jesus!" 

Since she is not yet 3, I have to admit that I'm quite impressed.
