Today I decided to sit at my computer and just start typing what I heard for posterity's sake.<br />
<br />
E: What did you get at Home Depot today?<br />
J: A Ladder. It was grey.<br />
E: And where did you go after Home Depot?<br />
J: I went to the flower shop and I saw Miss Noelle.<br />
E: I saw Ms. Rachael, my friend, not my sister (referring to Mom's friend, not sister)<br />
[Pause]<br />
J: Time out, time out! Emma, will you miss me when I got to college?<br />
E: I'm gonna go to my college.<br />
J: But Emma, will you miss me when I got to college?<br />
E: Um, yes. But I will go to your college with you.<br />
[Pause]<br />
J: Emma? I ate outside and when I went to the flower shop I brought some...<br />
E: Apples?<br />
J: No, a froggy water fountain, it didn't spray up.<br />
E: It just sprayed to you or me?<br />
J: No one. It just stopped. Next,, I went home.<br />
E: To our house to visit us?<br />
J: I brought some eggs and donuts.<br />
E: You brought this many (gesturing for a lot).<br />
J: Yes, a lot. Aaaaaand, I brought some raisins too.<br />
E: And cereal?<br />
J: Yes.<br />
E: What about watter and applesauce?<br />
J: Yes, and oranges....(this went on for a while)<br />
E: Where did you go next after college?<br />
J: I went home. And theeeeen,<br />
E: Andy has his own house.<br />
J: And theeeen...<br />
E: Which color is Andy's house (referring to Toy Story)<br />
J: Andy's house is blue.<br />
(Meanwhile Mommy hears a spashing sound which alerts her to Sam's hand in the toilet--toilet Jack just peed in.)<br />
[Pause]<br />
E: I bought yellow pancakes at the grocery store.<br />
J: Yeah, they were about seven dollars.<br />
E: Did Sammy open the ottoman? Who closed the ottoman?<br />
J: No one.<br />
S: (crying)<br />
E: Hurt his self?<br />
[Pause]<br />
E: Ah, it's a ghost light! That's what Mater says.<br />
J: I gotta go poop.<br />
<br />
Kris and my conversation must sound this random to them.<br />
<br />
Since I didn't take pictures of today's lunch, here are a few from their somewhat recent hangout times together.<br />

We split up the kids and Sammy got to spend the time with our friends, the Granges. Well, the youngest Grange took a liking to our boy and made him feel right at home, showing him wrestling moves, giving lots of hugs, even letting him slime his football. Gavin Buddy, thanks for being a stand-in big brother. I know it helped our boy a lot. And thank you, Janie for all the ways you cared for Sam as a stand-in mother!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

Nothing odd about that. But this was a special load because this was a special day. This load included a shirt of Jack's that was peed on, pajama pants of Emma's that her diaper exploded onto, an entire outfit of Sammy's that he barfed on (twice)--I'm talking real barf, not cutesie spit up. And then best of all, four full-sized towels I used to clean up my bathroom from a toilet that overflowed. I won't tell you what was in that, but it wasn't pretty. Suffice it to say, my bathroom floor is cleaner than it has been in months and thank God for a "sanitize" cycle on my washing machine.

Sam is nearing 6 months. His eyes sparkle, his waste expands, and his toothless smile is contagious. (We won't take too much time to mention that he is still waking up often--like 3 to7 times @ night--and not nursing well.) He's perfectly content to just lay on the floor and play with his feet, or gnaw on something for an extended time. He's currently recovering from his eighth cold since he was born, and I hope with the arrival of warmer weather and more time outdoors that he'll kick the habit of 2 weeks sick/2 weeks well. His cuteness makes up for a lot of the long nights though.</div><br />

Emma's vocabulary is booming, her hair is still a frequent topic of conversation, and her "girlie-ness" shines. Since I was never really a girlie-girl I'm fascinated by her love for all things dolls. But she's also taken to her brother's love for puzzles. To see them working on them together as a team makes me smile every time.<br />

Jack has been a "workin' man" a lot recently. He fixes little things around the house for me. Today he spent about 30 minutes stuffing different tools into his bike to fix it. He's still a big fan of Curious George, Word World, and Cat in the Hat, but asks more to play computer games now before he asks for cartoons. He's a couple months away from 4 and I really see a "big boy" side of him that I haven't seen before. His tantrums are less frequent, his "yes mom's" are more frequent, and by God's grace I am enjoying his company much more. :)<br />

Well, the bigger comment can't really be contested. He weighed in at 18 lbs 11 oz (95%) and I don't remember the exact height, but it was 90% percentile. And believe me, I feel all of it when I try to carry him around. He's rolling from belly to back and sports the world's warmest smile. Even on the toughest days, his smile always makes Kris and me swoon. Here are some pics from tummy-time today (complete with runny nose and all).</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

He's now on meds for a double ear infection, just got over bronchiolitis and has had 6 colds since he's been born. He just keeps smiling though. We love you, Sammy Boy!!

This morning Jack was "reading the Bible to Emma". He said the cutest, truest thing, that I just had to jot it down. He said, "Emma, Jesus died on the cross for our sins because Adam and Eve ate the fruit in the garden." We've read the stories to him, but I don't recall ever communicating that thought to him directly. I doubt he really knew what he was saying, but it was such a wonderful reminder to my soul. Thank you, Jesus, for not leaving us in our sins!!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6661880741986161337.post-53923647052880976032010-11-20T21:05:00.001-05:002010-11-20T21:07:47.361-05:00Our Summer Fort<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">It's never too late to post summer pictures, right? These were two little "forts" I built the kids one day after a run to IKEA and purchase of 6 do-it-yourself chairs. It started primitive and then we brought out the duct tape which makes everything more official. Jack was pretty proud of our creation. So proud he decided to flex? And yes, for those who are perceptive, Jack is wearing his PJs.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
