Tis the Seaon

"Hey, Mom, listen!  I'm talking bird with my nose!"

Yep, that's my oldest, my pride and joy. 

This is going to be one interesting cold and flu season.

Thankfully no illnesses here beyond a stuffy nose... so far.

Good Eye

Ever notice how children pay more attention to detail than we adults do?  Case in point, breakfast at our house one day.

 

 

Jacob: 

"Look!  Its Aunt Becki's house!"

 

 

Well by golly that is a nice warm, cozy and yellow house just like Aunt Becki's.  Good eye Jake.

You got that right

Me: Jake you need to change your clothes.

 

Jake: But but but.... I don't want to.  These clothes make me awesome!

 

What are the clothes he was speaking of, you ask?

He's got buckeye blood in his veins.

 

Or he thought he was wearing his Spiderman shirt.

 

That's a good possibility too. 

 

The Truth

"Both my grandmas are the best I've ever had.  Don't tell anybody."

Long road ahead of us

After giving birth to a baby the size of most one month olds, I've been doing a lot of sitting around and resting these days.  And what else are you supposed to do but watch episode after episode of the Pioneer Woman on food network?

During one episode in which Ree was making a mouth watering bacon wrapped meatloaf, Holly started crying.  Completely jokingly I said:

"Ssshhhhhh, Holly.  Mommy's trying to watch a show."

Bree who was sitting next to me in all seriousness and with a matter of fact attitude says:

"Mom.  She probably doesn't know what 'show' means."

Oh kiddo.   You're too funny.

Technology Problem

Bree and I were sitting on the couch reading our library books when she said

 

"Can you pause so I can go to the bathroom?"

 

Hmmm..... 

 

A bit too much screen time of any type lately? 

 

I think so.

Oh Jacob...

In reference to a cut on his finger.

 

"A monster shot me and I died."

 

A bit over dramatic me thinks.
