My CrAzY talkin' kids

~First off, an update on Mee Maw. She's doing pretty good. Hopefully sometime today she will be moving from the hospital to a rehab. I think she's had some confusion after sleeping lots (due to the pain mediation). I appreciate your prayers!

Babes 1 & 2 have been awfully sweet lately.

A couple of weeks ago, after watching a special episode of the Fresh Beat Band about a princess and prince that were supposed to be married (then decided they weren't), the princess fell in love (so she thought) with one of the FBB characters. At one point the two were talking & said princess had these little hearts popping up all around here.

Ella Grace said after dinner one night that she loved Major and he made those hearts come up all around her!

~~~~~~
Major said "Mom, do you know what I'm turning in to?"
No, what?
"I'm turning in to a grown-up."

Oh.brother.

Just yesterday, Major (while sitting on the pot - that's where he seems to do his best thinking) said "Mom, I wish I could go to heaven right now."

I said "You do. Why is that?"

My baby said "So I won't do anymore wrong."

Wow. He grasps soo much!


I love these two.

My CrAzY-talkin' kids!

My kids have just been hilarious lately. I find myself laughing at the silliest things they have said. And lately, it has been quite often!

On 3/15, I fed the kids powdered doughnuts for breakfast. This was a BIG treat for breakfast. As I gave Major his, he said "I adore anything white!" I asked where he had heard that from and he said "Olivia."

Then, on the way to school he began singing "Welcome home, Dad!" Again, Olivia.

Jeremy left for Alaska Friday morning. He kissed the kids before he left (around 5:00 am) and Ella Grace came to my bed. She said "Mom, while we are going to sleep can I tell you something?" Sure, I said. Then she began "The sun is here and the moon is over here and the Earth is in the middle. The Earth, it spins around like this. While it is day in Florida over here, it is night in Australia. The Earth is also moving around the sun." Of course I asked where she learned this and much to my disbelief she answered "Music class. My teacher's son lives there in college."

Oh.

This morning I overheard Major ask Ella Grace if she wanted to play Mary and Joseph. This was definitely a first!

So cRaZy!!

Ugh! That's about all I can muster up these days! I shouldn't complain. We got lots and lots of changes going on. I stay up late looking for stuff and stay busy all day at work. Evenings are crazy, weekends we're traveling. But, whatever. We'll get through it soon! Woo-hoo!

Just a couple of quick things I wanted to share, mainly funny things the kids have said:

Major on September 10 -

I was drinking a coke before I went to bed (healthy, right?) and he wanted a drink. I did not give him one, but tried to explain (yes, I said explain, to a three year old) that it had caffeine and he didn't need that before bed time (or ever!). So, I put my cup/can whatever it was in the garbage. The garbage did need to be taken out so it was right on top. I started talking to my sister who was across the room, and look down just to see and hear Major stick his nose in it, take a deep breath in and say in a whispery voice "Caffeine!". HA!

That night, we started off with him sleeping with me. I love wrapping my arms around my babies and had one hand on his back. He looked over at me and said "Please keep your hand to yourself because that's what my teacher said to keep your hands to yourself." oops!

Ella Grace September 17 -

Traveling with Ella Grace, Major and Jeremy's parents we were looking for somewhere to eat lunch. I had the GPS and was looking through the Points of Interest. Zaxby's, Cracker Barrel and Longhorn were the three closest. Then something else pops up: El Cheapo. I said that outloud and told them I wasn't sure I wanted to eat there. Then Ella Grace pipes up: "Can we go somewhere where you put your chip in hot dip?" Um, I think she wants Mexican, 'y'all! (We found out later that El Cheapo is a service station. Glad I didn't hold out for that one!)

Ella Grace - September 25

We were at Aunt Lori's and listening to one of our Cedarmont kids worship cds. We were listening to Every Move I Make. My kids LOVE that song! Sweet Ella Grace said "Momma, why do they said 'There is no god like Jehovah?' Did he do what God did?" Warm a momma's heart! She SO pays attention!

We just got our internet back, so I hope to catch up on some posts. Please, bear with me!

And how 'bout that Crimson Tide!?
