Because I'm going to forget

Not because this qualifies for anything close to a legitimate post -

- Mackenna and I just watched Cinderella together. She seemed to follow parts of it - told me her dress was gone after the spell ended and asked about her shoes. She seemed to think that Cinderella was also gone after the spell was over - and I told her it was still the same girl. She got her Cinderella book and pointed to the picture of Cinderella with the prince and asked me "where's cinderella?"

- Micah randomly, out of nowhere, after not being to church for two weeks, said this in the car last night "You should have no other Gods before me - Exodus twenty three" I was speechless.

- We hold hands typically during prayer. Micah insists on folding his own hands individually only when he wants to pray. His mealtime prayers always go like this "Dear God, Thank you for the ____ (insert very specific food item), Thank you for the _____, Thank you for the _____....(you get the idea). In Jesus' Name. Amen

- Mackenna has had a few successes on the potty. This leaves me wondering what to do - as Christmas isn't too far away and that means long travels. Also, Micah has no interest, which is fine with me, but I feel awful not giving him M&M's and giving them to her when he just really doesn't understand.

- Micah and dad were playing a running game at dad's office the other day. Curt got up off the floor after a few rounds and Micah said, "no, sit down, you are not all done dad"

- We have been a little hooked on singing the "on the ground" skit from SNL. The other day Micah started singing "I threw it on the ground." Oh my. Then last night at the store, Micah and Mackenna really were throwing things on the ground and we had to try, with a straight face, to tell them not to throw something on the ground.

- Micah used to kiss random facial parts of mine at bedtime - calling his move before he made it. He would back up and look at me and say "kiss your eyes" and then do it, "kiss your ears" "kiss your eyelashes" etc. Now, he runs away when I ask for a kiss. The other day I asked him to do something and said I would kiss him if he didn't do it....he did it instantly.

  1. Your kids are gorgeous! Its hilarious that Micah runs when you try to kiss him. I'm sure that won't last long. Little stinker!

    By the way, this is Alicia's cousin- you visited my blog a few days ago and now I'm having fun looking at yours. I'm so excited to watch my twins grow and I'm hoping what you said is true- that the sleep deprived days pass quickly.

  3. So, I had to look up SNL skit "Throw it on the Ground", and I watched it twice. I miss you guys! I keep replaying it in my head and chuckling. I picture you and Curt laughing about it, and trying to tell the kids not to throw things on the ground.
    I'm glad there are ways even across the miles for you to point me to funny things I never would have found on my own.
    Can't wait to see you and your awesome little kids again.
