Got the kids some Children's Place deals today and they were EXCITED. In these pics they are watching Veggie Tales so you can't tell how excited they are. :)

Luke was napping and Taylor tried on her new pink outfit and when Luke got up...

Taylor: LUKE! Look at me! LUKE! Look at my outfit {as she's twirling around} Do you see it? Mommy, Luke isn't listening to me. {pouting} {he fully wasn't awake yet from his nap} LUKE! Look at my new outfit!

Luke: Ohhhhhhhhhhh, That's pretty sissy. You look pretty.

{then I put Luke in a new outfit, he was super excited he got a new TIE and HAT!}
Taylor: Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Luke, You Look SHARP! Luke's handsome Mommy. :)

Last night Luke was getting his gear together to play baseball and I gave him his purple baseball hat instead of his brown one. Luke: "I can't play baseball in that Mom, I need the brown one." {which I couldn't find, causing screaming and whaling} Then I found it. Luke: "Mommy, you're silly thinking I could play in the purple hat."

Last night as I was getting the kids ready for bed. Taylor started teaching Luke ballet. She was telling him what to do and he was following her and she says, "Good Job Luke, you're working really hard!" {Wish I had video of this}

Last night the kids were playing baseball and Taylor was pitching to Luke who was batting. Taylor wasn't getting it near him and he says, "Taylor, what in the world are you doing?" then, "Mommy, can you play baseball." I then let Luke pitch and he's super accurate, I don't have to move at all and Taylor wanted to bat so I "helped" her. She then says, "Wow, Mommy, we're really good at baseball." lol

This morning Taylor was talking about the goose she saw LAST YEAR at the zoo. lol It scared her and chased her and was squalking LOUD! She says, "Mommy, I didn't like when that goose chased after me, she was LOUD! Then says, but I think she's gonna be my friend now and not make me scared of her." Luke says, "She wanted to eat you like the fish ate Jonah." Taylor: "Not anymore, now the goose is gonna be nice, Mommy, lets go back and see her."

Me: Ya know, it's a lot more fun to play when we share with each other.
Taylor: Mom, I don't believe what you're saying to me right now. :/

Luke's word of the day: Actually...
Taylor's word of the week: Suuuuuuure.

Had a veggie tale movie "sleepover" with the kids last night in the living room. They were so cute, excited and cuddly. I'm realizing this morning especially, that I'm too old for sleeping on the floor! :)

Kids sang Glory to God at the top of their lungs in the bath, then while I was drying Taylor's hair, Luke insisted on brushing it while I dried it which I thought wasn't a good idea but Taylor insisted that he do it and he was very gentle and they both were very excited about it. His obsession with brushing/playing with hair is still going strong. :) They also both counted along with me up to thirty.

Taylor walked out of my closet with several bras over her shoulder as her "purses". :)

{Luke gave Taylor a piece of peach}
Taylor: Awww...Luke, thank you!
Luke: You welcome Taylor.
Taylor: You're such a nice brother Luke.
Luke: Thank you! I'm being nice to her, Mommy.
Taylor: Thank you for sharing with me Luke.
Luke: You are VERY WELCOME!

Luke saw a box of tampons and ask me if they were screwdrivers. lol

Luke: Mom, I wanna go to the beach.
Me: You do? Do you wanna go swimming?
Luke: No I wanna walk on water like Jesus. :)

Me (to Taylor): Can you count my fingers? {she tries and counts 12, repeated a few}
Me: Let me count them. {1-10}
Taylor: NO Mommy, two of those are thumbs. ;)

Since Luke told me "I forgot to make meatloaf" at dinner yesterday...I guess I'll remember to make meatloaf tonight. ;)

Taylor: Mommy, I have a baby boy in my belly.
Me: You do?
Taylor: Well, actually it's a baby girl.
Me: Oh really? What's her name?
Taylor: Ummm, Let me see....Maiah. :)

BIG BEDS!

After SEVERAL times of Taylor being busted trying to sneak to Luke's bed. She started whispering for him to come cuddle with her. So he grabbed his lambie and got caught getting in her bed. Luke: I was just gonna cuddle with Tay-yer. Taylor: But Mommy, I want Luke to nap in bed with me. ‎{Taylor had a different tone this morning at 6am when he was pulling her off her bed, telling her it was time to wake up. then she was screaming.} {then she tried again} Luke: Sissy, get back in your bed, you're gonna get in trouble.

Nights are great. It's nap time that Miss Taylor is a little stinker pot.
