Snippets

Taylor came out of her bedroom this morning with one of her little baby dolls swaddled and calling her baby Olivia. ♥

-----------------

I feel for Olivia if she has personal space issues...because Taylor can't stop touching, kissing and hugging her. :)

-----------------

Taylor: Mom! There's a creepy bug in our yard. I don't like it. Luke get it.
Luke: Taylor, you do not have a spirit of fear, so you shouldn't be afraid.
{can you tell what verse we learned? 2 Timothy 1:7
For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline.}

----------------

{Taylor was trying to come in with sand all over her from the sand box and I told her to wait on the porch until I was done feeding Olivia and I'd come out and help me clean up, she had it all over her face and in her hair}
Taylor: Luke will you wait outside with me?
Luke: Umm. I worked really hard out there (in the sand box lol) I kinda wanna stay inside now.
Taylor: But I don't wanna be out here alone.
Luke: Well, you shouldn't have gotten so messy.
Taylor: Can you just come out and give me a hug Luke?
Luke: Ooooookay.
{they hug outside}
Taylor: I love you Luke.
Luke: I love you too Taylor. Now you wait for Mom to clean you up.
Taylor: {sigh} Okay.

----------------

Luke: MOM! Taylor isn't building me up, she's not being nice to me.
Me: Did you talk to her nicely about that?
Luke: No,.....Taylor, can you please build me up and be nice to me.
Taylor: {sigh} yeah.

{Be kind to one another and build each other up. 1 thes. 5:11}

-----------------

Kids are playing and Luke is pretending to drive an excavator to drop Taylor off at dance class. lol

-----------------

I'd forgotten how soft a newborn's skin is...all the newborn sounds...snoring ...hiccups and sneezes....so sweet.

-----------------

Taylor: Isn't it fun to just relax and play games mom? :)

-----------------

Taylor: I wanna pray for peace for Mommy and for Daddy to grow into a strong and mighty man and Mommy into a beautiful young woman.....{on and on}

------------------

Taylor: {talking to Luke while they were cleaning the floor, Luke had a dust pan and Taylor had the Swiffer} Isn't it nice of Ali {our dog} to shed dog hair for us to clean up.
Luke: Yeah
Taylor: It's nice of him isn't it. :)

------------------

{Taylor fell and scraped her knee and elbow up}
Luke: No hurt is too big for God Taylor. God I pray you would heal Taylor's knee and elbow in the name of Jesus, Amen.
Taylor: Thanks Luke, it's doesn't hurt anymore.

------------------

{Taylor and Luke cleaning up after breakfast while I fed the baby}
Taylor: {to Luke} We're good mommy's helpers aren't we?
Luke: Yeah, she's really lucky to have us.

------------------

Taylor: {to Olivia} I missed you sooooo much when you were on Mommys belly. Are you talking to your big sister, pumpkin? I'm gonna teach you how to talk, ok? {she's not kidding, lol...the expert of talking}

------------------

{crazy hair day at vbs}
Luke: I don't want my hair to be crazy. {shocker lol}
Taylor: Mommy, I don't want my hair to be crazed. I like it the way it is.

------------------

You probably didn't get enough sleep IF you put coffee grounds directly into your coffee cup instead of the coffee maker. :)

-----------------

{Today on the way to docs appt}
Taylor: So only God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit know when we're gonna die right? {this is a common conversation}
Me: Yup.
Luke: Yeah, God decides when we're gonna die, only he knows, no one else.
Taylor: Well, God, Jesus AND the Holy Spirit.
Me: Yup.
Taylor: Well, when I get to heaven I'm going to ride a rainbow horse ALL day!
Luke: There's no sadness in heaven Mom. No one fights or is sick, we just get to hang out with Jesus.
Me: Yup.
Taylor: Mom, in heaven, when we all get there, will you ride horses with me?
Me: Sure.
Luke: I don't know if I wanna do that Taylor.
Taylor: ooooo Luke. {sigh}
