The Gospel according to a 5 year old!

Me: "Becky, why don't you play with Grace while I do her hair so she doesn't cry."

Becky: "Ok! Here Gracie, I'm going to show you something." Becky got a sock and put it on her hand to do a puppet show! (Very creative I think BTW.)

"Jesus loves us, Jesus died on the cross for us because He loves us so much. And when you're 5 you don't get spankings anymore because you learn to obey. Jesus doesn't spank us, He loves us."

Modesty...

Yes so, we are tying to teach modesty to our girls.

Emma still needs help in the bathroom... she calls to me:

"Mommy, I need help- but don't look at my butt!"

Um, how am I going to help you if I can't look at you? ROFL

Much to my mother's disdain, I have regretfully taught my girls how to do this:

"Guess what?"

"What?"

"Chicken butt!" hahahahaha

and to sing this song:

"Naked butt, naked butt, you have a naked butt (or I have a naked butt)."

Poor Grandma tells the girls that different families say different words to refer to their bottoms. Bottom of what? Exactly.

Emma's Birthday recap

Emma turned 3 on Tuesday. She woke up singing

"Happy Birthday" to herself. She was very

excited. We got her a Dora Lego play set, a

Magna dootle/ double sided with chalkboard and

a Hello Kitty beach towel. Emma talked non-stop

about our trip to Chuck-e-cheese that we were

going to be taking to celebrate her birthday day.

(We had a family party on Sat the 13th.)

Becky was also

excited to go to

Chuck-e-cheese and fell asleep on the floor in the corner when I threatened

that she would not be attending if she didn't take a nap.

Grace was the first one to explore at Chuck-e-Cheese.

She walked right over to the bus to go for a ride.I helped her in and she was happy as a clam.

This feeling only lasted until I turned the ride on and it started a slow back and forth movement. She did not like that at all. In fact, Grandma tried putting her in it again later without knowing

what had happened and got the same reaction without even turning it on. I guess she remembered. LOL

Happy Birthday to my sweet 3 year old! Love you!

Well, when I'm a mommy!!!

Emma has been immitating Becky all the time. Well this time she said it first.

We were leaving the park, but Emma didn't want to leave so she informed me:

"When I'm a mommy, I'm going to DRIVE by myself to go the park to play!!!"

Can we do it tomorrow?

If I say no to something, Becky's next question is always: "Can we do it tomorrow (or get it tomorrow) ??" Cracks me up every time.

Speaking of "tomorrow" if it isn't happening today, then in Becky's mind it'll be tomorrow. Anything past today, whether in 2 weeks, 2 months, or 2 years... yep you guessed it- it's tomorrow. Becky is excited to learn how to read. She keeps finding her phonics books and shows me while saying, "This is for me when I turn 5 tomorrow and learn how to read."

When school got out a couple weeks ago, the next morning, Becky woke up and said: "Are we going to do school at home today now?" She was so excited to start, she just wanted to skip her summer.
