Snippets

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.

{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?}

{Luke asked me to make his basketball net higher and he can shoot consistently with it at 6 feet. Crazy...anyhow...Daddy came home and started playing with him}
{after Nick missed a shot}
Luke: Daddy, it's too high for you. You can't shoot.
{trash talking}

Taylor: I need my ballet slippers and skirt!
