Small People are Funny!

At least I think mine are....

Just a few cute things these small people have said that

I don't want to forget.

Miss M....

"Mommy can I go get my self a whole gallon of milk, I am REAL thirsty?"

"Mom, I'm gonna be sick tomorrow"

"Oh, you will huh?"

"Yeah and I WON'T be going to school!!"

"mmmh? Why will you be sick?"

"I just ate tooooo much junk food today."

Sissy.....

"Mom can we go on a trip? We NEEEEED to go on a trip, it has been a long time."

"No sweetie, we don't have any trip money right now."

"MOM!!!!!!! You have NO money in your wallet? What about vegetables to make my hair grow???

"Mom, can I take my pony to my Miss L's and M's class for show and tell today?"

" No sweetie they do not have show and tell in that class."

" BUT MOM,(disgusted) I will NOT let her run away!!" This is her my little pony we are talkin about.

"Yeah sweetie, I am sure she will not get away, but you still can't take her, sorry......"

Lightning...

This kid loves to cook and he helped with dinner tonight. As we sat down to eat and right after the prayer he says loudly,

"Ummm? Who do we thank for dinner tonight?

YEP me!!"

Oh and let's not forget the tender moments too.

Also at the dinner table just tonight. All was quiet, a rare moment indeed and Bubba pipes up,

"Lightning I LOVE you!

"Bubbas, I love you too."

"Sissy. I love you,: and on down the line

All Moments that melt this Moms heart. To bad I didn't think they were this cute when they all had ten reasons to come get me after lights out tonight.

So What

Has been keeping me from blogging? A lot of this...

My camera has been busy.

and this...

Family time

We have been hanging out together, watching movies and last night we went to the Temple to see the Christmas lights for FHE.

I really enjoyed my kids time off from school and the break in our hectic routine.

The girls have a break from dance and this week is the end of fall soccer. It is so nice to not have to feel so rushed the minute they walk in the door from school to get them back out it again.

The highlight of our weekend was Little H announcing very loudly in sacrament meeting after pulling my shirt open "BOOBIES" I am pretty sure not too many people heard. The nice Brother in front of us was doing the quiet body laugh, Good one Little H.....

It's off to piles of laundry I need to get done before we leave town again and some shopping I have to get in before we leave to.Oh, and Dinner and Home work. I better get off of this thing.

OCTOBER MADNESS

This has been the busiest Oct. I feel like life has gone from a sprint to a marathon. It has been fun, happy, and busy so I have no reason to complain. I have been happily entertained by my cute kids. We have had so much fun spending time together as a family on our vacations.

I really notice a difference especially in Lightning, when we make memories together. Bubba has been so entertaining lately. I can not get enough of this fun kid.

Check out this fun guy. I am sure he is confused as to what part of our body is supposed to meet with the lightning Mc Queen toilet seat. Potty training is in his near future and so I am getting prepared and trying to teach him about underwear and since he thinks you wear all pairs at once over your diaper, while adorning you head with the toilet seat we may be waiting a little longer to get into those big boy pants. Poor guy has all sorts of clothes issues these days. He is trying so hard to get himself out of the girly get up Sissy made him put on and parade around in this morning. She made him show off his girly style outside and I don't think he cared at first but towards the end he just had to be a boy again. Poor kid, just could not figure out how to get out of this frilly swimsuit:)

I have had a chance this month to try and improve my photo taking skills. Most of the time my kids are more than willing to be my models and sometimes it's fun to have a chance to do something different.
Melanie let me take pics of her sweet little girl. Thanks Melanie. I sure hope you find a few you like and that I got a few shots of what you were hoping for. I immediately saw things I could have done different. Thanks again for being willing to let me practice with your cutie pie!!

This sweet girl is always willing to pose and actually trys to find things for me to take pictures of. She actually suggested this umbrella that goes to her camping chair. I happily grabbed my camera. Halloween and all that goes with it has taken up a lot of time this year we have had and still have some fun parties to go to. I am trying my best to have a low key Halloween night Lightning can not wait to trick- or- treat. We have been in court for our kids a lot this month and tomorrows court date hopefully marks a beginning to a long awaited end and we can get Sissy and Bubbas files to the adoption unit and get on with the business of being an eternal family.
