{Kids have the throwing up flu stuff so I slept in their room on the floor in between them. I woke up to Taylor singing "How Beautiful", the song Aunt Elena sang at our wedding, then...}

Taylor: Mommy, it's time to get up!
Me: I'm sleepy. {I was up all night again with throwing up/diarrhea duty and laundry}
Taylor: Mommy, Daddy's gonna spank your heiney if you don't get up.
Me: No he isn't.
Taylor: Yes he is, he did last time. {by the way, HE DID NOT} lol
Me: No he didn't.
Taylor: MOMMY, I NEED YOU TO GET UP!

{Then I go downstairs to get some supplies and I come back...}
Taylor: Mommy, Luke lied to me.
Luke: I did not lie to you Taylor.
Taylor: Yes he did, Mommy, he lied.
Luke: I didn't.
Taylor: It's not nice to lie Luke, say you're sorry.
Luke: I didn't lie!
{really?}

Me: Luke, Are you supposed to take your clothes off?
Luke: I DIDN'T take my clothes off, I took my PJ's off.

Luke and Taylor were pretending to be David and Goliath. Taylor was David and she was hitting him with a pillow which she said was her sling and Luke was Goliath and falling down. {lots of giggling}

{Our friend Ron doesn't have much hair and while he was here, he says...}
Luke: Ron's don't have any hair. {apparently it's the name} :)

{Taylor got in trouble for not sharing and giving Luke a turn}
Luke: Taylor isn't being very nice. She's not sharing with me. That's not very nice. It's not good. She wouldn't share with me. She was sharing with herself.

{potty time, Luke was done but Taylor wasn't}
Taylor: Luke! Go get me a book!

Luke: Oh okay. {runs and gets another book}
Taylor: Luke will you read it to me?
Luke: I can't.
Taylor: Yes you can...read it to me. Be nice!
Luke: {pretends to read it to her}

Taylor wanted to wear her tutu leggings from Aunt Jody today and when she put them on Luke says, "AWWW sissy, you look SOOOO CUTE!!" and she responds with, "I AM NOT CUTE!!! I AM PRETTY!!!" {...and they continued to argue over whether she was cute or pretty, goodness.}

Snippets

someone's getting a little sassy.

Taylor: I already told you! {something she's been saying a lot, didn't realize how much I said this to them after repeating myself over and over}

Taylor: {to Luke} I AM NOT KIDDING LUKE! I MEAN IT! {I have no idea what she wasn't kidding about, didn't hear the previous convo}

Snippets

Luke: I want sissy to help me put on my socks.
{huge grin from Taylor}
Taylor: Okay, sit down Luke!
{was adorable to watch, don't ask me why Luke won't put his socks on himself}

Luke: Mom, I need to wear a tie today. My brown tie with puppy dogs on it. {later he says...} I look sharp. :)

Taylor: Daddy marry me. {Nick plays along and she immediately then starts slow dancing with him.}
Luke: Mommy, marry me! {I play along and he gives me big hugs, kisses and slow dances with me}

Luke and Taylor have both been praying by themselves at mealtime and are very proud of themselves.

Taylor: {pointing her finger at Luke while they were doing a puzzle together} YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND ME LUKE!

{Taylor's been dropping things and then yelling for Luke to pick them up for her}
Taylor: LUKE! I dropped my flower!
Luke: Oh okay. {then he goes and picks it up for her}
Taylor: Aww, thanks Luke, you're so nice.
