Memory Verse

The first memory verse Ethan ever memorized was "Love your neighbor as yourself" Luke 10:27.  Except when I would say it to him and ask him to repeat it he would say "I love my neighbor as myself". Isn't that cute.

And when I tried to teach him the next verse for the week he was convinced that it was still "I love my neighbor as myself". In fact...he insists that is the only memory verse lol. So we are still working on the concept of memorizing more than one. But I guess you have to start somewhere.

The Pout

Isaac is such a happy baby.

Seriously a happy baby.

But every once and a while he has a pout.

A pout that will make your little heart skip a beat and you will do pretty much whatever he wants.....

And then there is his angry pout. Oh it is the pout of all pouts...

And when I see it.....I fix whatever the problem is as fast as I can lol...

(this is the only picture I have of this pout. My dad took it at Christmas. It comes so quickly it is hard to capture. Trust me I have tried many times...)

Wednesday...

I am so glad today is Wednesday....because that means tomorrow is Thursday. Thursday is my favorite day of the week (excluding weekends obviously). I don't know why they have just always been that way. I think it started a long time ago when Friends and ER were on. Man I miss the days of Friends, Will and Grace and ER lol. How sad is that haha. It's a good thing I have Big Bang Theory and Rules of Engagement. :)

Today didn't start good. I had a hard time sleeping. Isaac was up playing in his crib from 3:30 to 5:30...and Ethan woke up at 6:45. At least Isaac was playing and wasn't crying or screaming. I just laid in bed and listed to him talk and giggle and everyone once and a while a smile would come across my face because I just couldn't help it.  Jon was here this morning because our furnace is broken. We have been without heat since Wednesday morning. The fixer people were coming and it's a little hard to deal with them and four kids so he was nice and stayed home. You would think having him here would be helpful...but he doesn't know our routine lol. The kids get hyper and then he goes upstairs to work. So that added to the mix.

Since our heat was out I was using the fireplace downstairs to heat the house. I forgot it was on and momentarily stepped into the kitchen....and then I heard a cry. A cry that you don't hear very often and the kind where you know exactly what has happened without even looking. Poor Brady had touched the fireplace. He ended up with a blister on his finger.  I felt and still feel awful. I am thankful that it was just a blister because I know it could have been much worse.

But tomorrow will be a better day. Even if I don't get much sleep. I will make it a better day.

Moments

Moments come and go so quickly it seems. This week was full of moments to remember....

Moments like Brady sharing toys with Isaac....

Brady loves his cousin Isaac. He says his name so clear and he says it all the time. When Isaac wakes up Brady says "Isaac, Isaac, Isaac, Isaac" over and over again. When Isaac goes down for his nap Brady looks for him saying his name over and over again. He is so sweet.

Moments when these two are supposed to be picking up and I find them playing like this lol...

Moments when they start singing their ABC's together while making cookies....

Moments like this....

Moments when we eat green eggs and green milk and green mac and cheese during the day.



Hope your week was filled with moments that make your heart as happy as mine.

Rainbows

We learned all about rainbows last week and we did a few fun crafts to go along with it. First we made rainbows out of tissue paper and cotton balls. The kids had a blast making these and I love the way they turned out.

Then we made rainbow cupcakes. I think they enjoyed these the most. They both sat on the counter and watched as the colors turned as we mixed in the food coloring. So much fun.

{FoUr} - One more time

Four is quite the number for me lately. Ethan is four, Isaac is four months, I have 4 kids during the day...4 days a week, and there are four people in my family. And since last week was brought to you by the number four...I will share some 4 month pictures my dad took of Isaac. My dad and I had fun a few weeks ago taking these...
