Quotes of the Week

We were driving in the car this morning and Noelle said: "How about I go to kindergarten, the boys go to daycare and you stay home and clean the house!" "Why are you laughing mom?" (Dan and I had just been talking about how nice it is that the kids get to stay home!)

We were eating lunch yesterday and Corom looks up at the picture of Christ on the calendar. "Remember that day when Santa and Jesus Christ came to the earth, UMMMMMM, what is that called again?" (Me: "Christmas") "Oh yah, Christmas!" (Is this what we are teaching our children? That Santa and Christ symbolize the same thing? Oh, no!)

Elijah's words of the week: When you call out "ELIJAH..." He will respond with, "What?" He cannot say Corom's name but has learned to pronounce his middle name "Bennett". He calls out for "Berries, cheese, yogurt, juice, water, milk, bite, food," When you ask "Who wants breakfast, lunch or dinner?" Elijah squeals. He also walks around the house pointing to all of the light switches, "LIGHT?!" Its funny because it seems like he understands just about everything we say and is very tuned in. Its like he is always listing to what I say and is ready to respond.

This morning we dropped the car off early and went out in our jammies. I couldn't resist taking a picture of Elijah in his long johns and snow boots. He looks like a little old man with his big belly.

Corom wanted his picture taken but would not look at the camera!

I was trying to catch a picture of him pointing to the car on the pillow, while making car noises. He looked up and smiled.

We're not sure where this silly smile came from!

We actually went out to breakfast with him wearing this!

The kids have been playing pirate ship with blankets, baskets, pillow, etc. They are so creative- it has been 2 days now and the pirate play is still going strong. It is even equipped with a pirate baby birthing area, a food area, a sleeping area, you get the idea. Any how, this bat has doubles as a cannon and a telescope!
