I've been stuck lately by how blessed I am with my children. I've heard some say that kids are 'on loan' from God, like a library book. He trusts us with these treasures and expects them back in good shape! I am completely humbled when I think about that.
So anyway, I've been meaning to post about some of the funny things that come out of my Precious Treasures mouths.
Essy:I was walking past the kids while they were eating lunch one day and she was talking with her brothers (primarily Sam). I heard her say "Well, when I get married I'm gonna kiss my Honey, like, TWENTY times in one day!" I wonder what that conversation was about?
Sam:He noticed that I had a small (I mean smaller than a 3x5 card) piece of paper with how to be healthy. At the top of this paper I wrote weight loss. Sam and I had had a conversation about loosing weight the day before. (He wanted to eat special k for breakfast because he was concerned he needed to loose weight. I was immediately convicted by God and realized I had been to vocal about my desire to shed a few lb's. I reassured him that he was perfectly shaped and didn't need to loose any weight. He then went on to say that no one in our house needed to loose weight.) Okay, so sorry for the long explanation! So he asked me why I had a paper on how to loose weight......I said that I was just trying to be healthy. Then he responded "Yea. Cause you're enough." Meaning that I didn't need to loose weight. Cutie!
Zach:He told me last night that he's gonna marry me. I didn't mention to him that that was illegal and GROSS. I figure by the time he's twelve, he won't want to marry me anymore. I'm gonna enjoy it while it lasts!
Joey:Now this is hard to explain. Joe says things I just don't expect. Like, instead of using too ( ex. I would like one too please) he'll use 'as well' in it's place. (ex. I would like one as well please.) I just don't expect it! And it's HOW he says it. He uses LOTS of hand gestures and facial expressions.
I have a couple post it's in our file box of silly things I catch the kids saying. I'm hoping to make a great scrap book page with them someday.I have yet to scrap our honeymoon nearly 10 years ago :) so it'll probably be 10 years from now that I finally use them!

Good idea on the scrapbook of the things kids say. I have never heard that and I am sure you will have lots with all your kids :-)
I love the comments! It's so hard to remember to write them down. I'm with you on the scrap book thing - I think I have about 4 pages of my husband and my first few dates,9 years ago. Ha! I'm happy now if I get the current photos into albums within a few months time. I figure I'll scrap when I'm a grandma! ;)
Who has Essy been watching kiss twenty times a day? Hmmmmmm? :)
Here's an idea moms: I have a "mommy journal" that I write in all the things the kids say or do that I don't want to forget. Since life is busy, I scribble them down when they happen on scrap paper and tuck that in the journal and when I have some extra time I write them in the journal...I'm just a year behind on entries in the journal and too many years behind on scrapbooking. Kids are so precious and innocent, they say the cutest things! -Kari
I love it, I love it, I love it! Mom : )
Katy, I haven't scrapbooked in months...I'm sad. But I am going to an all day crop on Saturday. 10 am to midnight. Heck yes! Kid's are so cute with what they say and you're so great to document it. I remember one time when I was a kid, my cousin asked her mom if cats had pimples. I don't know why that has stuck with me all these years. Too fun!
I have another one for you...while showing each other they could spell, James told my nephew that he could spell Mississippi. My nephew then says, "I wonder what ever happened to Mistersippi?"
