Afterschool Snacks


When Emma gets home from school, she's usually starved!
Today I was feeding Moriah when she came home, so she made her own snack.
Aaron had a friend over and Emma didn't want to miss out on the fun,
so she "saved" it for later. Hands off!
When I came into the kitchen and saw this I just had to snap a quick photo.
She's TOO cute.

Baby needs a kiss.
You will never know a truer friend than your sister.

Self Defense

So, there sits Rebekah and Aaron, munching on some brownies when Aaron started behaving suspiciously. I announced that I was going to spank his tush, to which my little brainy-pants said, "That's okay. I have a fork to protect myself." Where on earth does he get this stuff?

Moriah's Blessing Day

The proud parents.


You must have been a beautiful baby.




An Angel Baby, so soft and new.
Time to give a name to you.



Quotable Kids Part 2 with a Bonus Story

It's time to recall some of the hilarious things the kids say & do, such as these little jewels:

I was calling down to Daddy to come upstairs and help me with something. He wasn't coming up as quickly as I was hoping, and I guess Aaron could sense my frustration when he asked me what was wrong. I said, "Oh nothing, Daddy's just being naughtly." To which Aaron then asked me, "Who's he being naughty with?"

We're potty training Bekah right now and so I'm CONSTANTLY asking her if she needs to go potty. The other day I called her name, to which she responded, "I DON'T HAVE TO GO!"

The other day Bekah tucked herself into her bed for a much needed afternoon nap - which NEVER happens. When I couldn't find her I went into her room and noticed that the bundle of blankets was moving. I peeked under the covers to find a cute little Bekah who told me very matter of factly she needed her beauty sleep.

Santa brought the kids a Wii this year. And since then the kids have been making sure I know the difference when they mean "Wee" we're going down a slide - and - "Wii" we're playing the nintendo.

And last but definitely NOT least, the funniest story yet...drumroll please...
Shortly after having Moriah I made meat loaf for dinner, no big deal, I do that all the time. Someone (me) also dropped a bite size piece of meat loaf on the floor - ya, I do that all the time too. Well, I didn't clean if up right away and the next day some friends brought us dinner. And for dessert they included a plate of chocolate no-bake cookies. Well, we started chomping down the cookies and Aaron thought he saw a bit of cookie under the table...do you get where this is going now. Now he fully understands the "ten seconds rule" so he picks up the piece of "cookie" and puts it in his mouth, then he starts to spit it out onto his plate. Well being the good mother I am, I start shoving it back into his mouth, before it dribbles down his chin. All the while, he's crying, "It's meatloaf, it's meatloaf!" And I'm explaining, "It's not meatloaf silly boy, it's cookie, you like these cookies!" And then Mike realizes what I'm sure you've concluded by now, and he shouts out, "NO Gail, IT IS meat loaf, it's the meat loaf that fell on the floor the other night. Long story short, before you eat a cookie off the ground, make sure it isn't meatloaf.
