Hot Summer Day

As the boys and I were walking in slightly windy, 20ish degree weather, Trevin mentioned that he was "freezing." I told him to walk faster and put his hands in his coat pockets. After he put his hands in his coat he boldly announced, "Aaaaahhhhh, now it's a hot, summer day!"

We Believe

"Did you hear Ho Ho Ho last night?"
"No, I didn't" "Did you hear Rudolph?"
"Oh no, Santa didn't come"
"Well, maybe mommy saw the reindeer on the roof!"

This is the conversation I heard as the boys walked out of their bedroom on Christmas morning. They were jumping with excitement when they saw Santa ate their cookies and drank their milk!

Don't EVER Do That Again!

I had been reading a book to the boys about a Mama Bear and her cub. Mama Bear was pregnant and the pictures showed her belly getting huge and the family welcoming a cub to the family. I had never really shown the boys my pregnancy photos, so I thought it would be a fun opportunity to pull out baby photos. In the midst of explaining that they were both in my belly at the same time, Trevin looked at me with intense seriousness and said, "Mommy, don't you EVER put me in your belly AGAIN." (Surely he imagined that the only I could get him in my belly was to eat him!)

A few days later Mekhi asked me if I put a blanket in my belly to keep them warm.

Trevin was really thinking this idea through and I had to tell him about it several times. One of those times, my brother walked through the room and, in an under-the-breath comment, mentioned that I should just "tell them about the Stork, it would be easier!"

Thoughts On Shopping

-After being in a store for literally no more that 5 minutes, Trevin loudly states: "Mom, we can't stay in this store FOREVER." The woman in the isle next to us laughed outloud and came into our isle just to see who had made the statement!

-While surrounded by a cart full of groceries, Mekhi asked if I was going to pay for him, too. He didn't understand what I meant when I mentioned that I'd already paid for him, dearly!

-I told Trevin that our female Real Estate Agent would be going to work and he said, "No. Only daddies go to work, mommies just go to stores." Guess we've been spending too much time Christmas shopping lately!
