all week long i've wanted to write a post in real time .... and here it is saturday morning at 6:30 and i'm getting my chance : )
there was this far away time when my children slept till nine a.m. i know crazy, huh. but they did, they really did. certain children in this family truly like sleep & they need it. other children in this family don't like it as much .... yet still need it.
my children don't sleep till nine a.m. anymore. except for ben, he would & does when he can.
the little girls however not so much, at all, ever .....
so good morning : )
right now, molly is reading library books to regan. everyone else is still sleeping as that's the logical thing to do on a cool spring saturday morning.
or at least i think anyways!
these pictures come from a morning earlier this week where they all got up during the 6 o'clock hour, got dressed, made their beds & came out chanting they wanted donuts for breakfast - you can tell ben is up & happy but still looks like he should be sleeping : )
we did not get donuts that morning.
i've been collecting a few lines from the kids this week -
we were in the car & molly was talking to chad. she'd clap & cheer & say -
'yay! chady that's a good good smile!! yay chady! that's another good.good smile!'
the boys were talking one night before bed about rex's job & making money & what he does with his money & jack said -
'he probably makes like $20 dollars and gives 19 to mom.'
benny walked up to chad & stamped his hand with a little stamp & said -
'sweet brother benny gave you a little bunny stamp on your hand'
'i can't believe it! babies can smile & they don't even have any teeth!' - jack
i thanked ben for showing good brotherly love to regan at sailor's piano recital this week & he says -
'well mom, its pretty easy to take care of yagen with a bag of candy. i'd just told the bag and say here yagan & since dad and you weren't there i pretended to be the dad but i always knew where you were at the table.'
chad was getting his diaper changed and jack was keeping him company -
'you are too little to ride a bike, even with training wheels. but! you are not too little to have an elephant on your head.' then he smiled & put the little stuffed elephant on chads head & chad smiled too.
all week ben has called avocados artichokes.
ben apologized for almost stepping on my phone climbing out of the car and said -
'but i didn't step on marcy, mom' took me awhile to figure out that he calls suri marcy : )
we were going over jacks spelling words in school. never was the first word & without skipping a beat he spouts off this sentence -
'never trust a plastic hippo!'
the next word was girl & he said -
'you're a girl ... well a lady girl!'
- - -
- - -
well, everyone is up now .... except benny, who hasn't quite hit his 12 hours of sleep yet. and chad is up too .... he's just started rolling over and that is really messing up his sleep. he's sitting with rex now with this look on his face like why am i awake?? jack's telling him all about star wars legos. the girls are cutting out paper dolls.
its saturday & we have a nice weekend planned. i'm going to make a red velvet cake, among other nice weekend-y things.
