Things to remember . . .

There are some things the kiddos say or do that I want to remember always.
These are in no particular order, just fun memories from the past week or so.

Two weeks ago, when I picked Eli up from preschool,
he came out of his class happy as could be, which is pretty typical.
Then, in the sweetest voice, he informed me that "Mrs. MacIntosh was really good today."
The other moms waiting there got quite a chuckle,
and Mrs. MacIntosh, who heard him said "aww, you were very good too Eli!"
He was beaming!!!
Now I suspect this comment stemmed from the fact that Mrs. MacIntosh was out sick that Tuesday
and was back on Thursday, but still one of the cutest comments ever ;-)

Another cute Eli moment was this past Monday . . .

He had gone to Miss Kaitlyn's house to play with Ava and left his cars there.
I could tell he was being a bit of a stinker to Miss Kaitlyn but he was telling me about his "lost cars."
I started saying something about him choosing not to look for them
and Miss Kaitlyn tried to explain when Eli, in full attitude mode turns to Miss Kaitlyn and says
"I'm trying to talk to Mommy.". 
(i.e. stop interrupting me or making me look bad). 
Needless to say, Kaitlyn and I had a very good chuckle over that one - silly boy ;-)

Two nights ago, Alli called down to us to tell us her PJs were ripped.

G went upstairs to see what she was talking about.
From downstairs, i could hear him asking her if she was doing cartwheels
(which she does nonstop these days!)
she was avoiding the question and I heard G say "ok Alli, I'm not even going to ask."
 He came down with the ripped footie PJs because she wanted Mommy to fix them.
The next morning, she fessed up and told me she was practicing her splits ;-)

Another sweet Alli moment was when we were talking about a new prayer she was learning at school.
Alli asked what prayer her friend was learning at her school.
When I explained that you don't learn prayers in public school, her immediate response was shock
 "why not?"
I told her that you didn't learn about Jesus in public school,
she didn't seem to believe me at first and finally just said "that's weird!"
I love that she enjoys learning more about Jesus everyday!

My final fun memory involves Lukey - nothing he did, more of a
Mommy is losing it moment.

It was a school night and I was cooking dinner while the kiddos were playing in the living room.
Suddenly, I realized Lukey wasn't there and frantically asked Alli "where is Luke, do you see him?"
She looked at me like I was nuts and said, "you're holding him Mommy"
Yep, while I was cooking, sweet Lukey was on my left hip
and I've gotten so used to the feeling, I forgot he was there.
Oops! ;-)

Needless to say, Alli enjoyed sharing that as her "funny" over dinner!
