Catching Up

So back in April we had the opportunity to see a robin's nest grow from eggs to fledgelings in our back yard. It was a fun lesson in nature for the kids. Amazing how quickly the babies grow up...made me think what would happen if I sent my little babes out on their own after two weeks or so of life!
Colin's long go-go-gadget arms allowed for the pictures inside the nest.

How neat for the kids to see these little birds in their nest.

Quote of the Day

Wyatt(4): stalling at bedtime, "Mommy how did God make all dese toes?"

Wyatt(4): as I'm putting him to bed,"Momma I can't stop loving you. Why you keep your hair away from me?"

Me: I didn't want to tickle you.

Him: "I want you to."

Wyatt (3): describing how his legs look in knee socks, "My wittle (little) weg (leg) cheeks are popping out of my blue socks."

Wyatt(2): describing his dream, "Monster get me. Pick up me."

Ella(4) and Wyatt(2): to Mommy and Daddy, "I love you dearwy (dearly)."

Ella(4): to Mommy, "You don't need to use a lawnmower on your hair anymore!" (she meant a hairdryer)

Liam(6): to Mommy, "You're the Mom of my dreams." (as I'm putting him to bed)

Ella(4): to Mommy, "I'm in true love with you." (after dancing in the car to some jams)

Liam(5): To Mom, "I love you more than the swamp." (huh?It's supposed to be a compliment, I'm sure)
To Dad, "I love you more than a big rock." (again, huh? But surely a compliment.)

Wyatt(1): (hands me a turd, a real turd) "Hmmm, I guess since this fell out of my diaper I must give it to Mom since she's always asking me to hand her things I shouldn't have."

Jackson(6): (It's 6am and I'm still in bed...) "Mom wake up! I have two exciting things to tell you! One, I can breathe out of my nose again. Two, my glow snake glowed all night long!"

Liam(4): "I love you more than numbers can count."

Ella(2): "I wake up im ma morning. I watch Frosty Snowmane!"

Jackson(5): "Go tell it on the mountain that Jesus 'Prist' (long I sound) is born."

Liam(3): "Go tell it on the mountain that Jesus 'Crust' is born."

Ella(2): "No want lunch. Want just 'pop'." (lollipop)

Liam(3): "That's such a dandy little flower!" (looking at a dandelion)

Jackson(5): "If a good guy gets a bad guy, he 'displodes' (explodes), right?"

Jackson(5): "Daddy, I want a 'memote incontrol' (remote control) for Christmas!"

Liamisms(3): "'Brayoo!' Says the elphalent."
"Thanks for the dolmands (almonds) mom!"

Liam: "Where's my gui-town?" When he really means, "Where's my guitar?" This is so named because Colin plays a song on the guitar the boys have dubbed the "Town Song". Liam just has it all a little mixed up.

Liam just before bed: "Daddy fun today wrestle run tackle."

Jackson this morning: "So here's my question: Do you know about raccoon monkeys? They have noses...that grow! I saw one outside our house two weeks ago."
Mom: Good story buddy.

Jackson: "What breathing all about? How skin works?" (out of the blue questions...I likened lungs to balloons and skin to a sock...wonder if all made sense to him??)

Jackson: "Mommy, I farted in the new grocery store." (upon returning from Kohl's, a department store, during bedtime story time)

Jackson: "Mommy why are you wearing a towel?" (referring to my terry cloth maternity top)

Jackson: "Mommy I love you lots of times. I love you when you're sad. I love you when you're happy. I love you when you're puzzled."

Liam: "Hey yo!"

Jackson: "Mommy come see the dead frog!" (referring to the terd that fell out of Liam's diaper)

Jackson: "Oh I see. So that's how it works." (he's two going on 12)

Jackson: "When I'm bigger I'll have lots of hair and say lots of words."
