Allie's Thinking

the other day I was doing laundry and Allie came up to me and gave me a hug and this is the conversation that followed:

A: Mom is Gracelyn going to sleep in my room?

M: No she will be in Trevor's room until she gets a little bigger

A: When she gets here we will have to be quite huh

M: Yep, you will need to learn to use your inside voice

A: Trevor will have to be quiet too huh mom

M: Well there will be times that Trevor wakes her up and she will wake him up

A: Mom, does Gracelyn have clothes on in your tummy?

M: Nope she doesn't

A: Does she have a diaper on?

M: No she doesn't have a diaper on either

A: you mean she is NAKED?

I laughed so hard at that and had to explain that she will have clothes and we have already gotten some diapers so she won't be naked once she comes out.

Merry Christmas

I hope everyone has had a great Christmas. The last present that we opened this morning was my ultra sound. We invited our parents to watch it with us. As it turns out we are going to be welcoming little Gracelyn (Grace or Gracie for short) around March 22nd. We are very excited and now I want to go shopping. Trevor got his crib turned into a toddler bed with "cars" bedding. He was so excited that he kept running from the front room to his bedroom and back. I truely enjoyed watching my kids as they opened their presents. They played their little hearts out. Allie got all dressed up as belle for most of the day and colored in her princess color wonder book. She was cute with her little baby doll. She kept telling me to shhhh cause her baby is sleeping. I am very greatful for the reason for the holiday season, the birth of our savior Jesus Christ. I have been trying to teach Allie about his birth. I wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a very happy New Year. As soon as I figure out how to transfer pictures from my new camera I will post them. I love you all!

Happy Holidays

I just love the Holiday Season. I am trying to get my kids to understand the reason for the season. As we listen to Christmas music in the car Allie always wants to hear "Frosty the Snowman" but today we were listening to silent night and Allie asked me if I was singing and I told her yes because this song is about Jesus. She listened for a while and then said I really like this song mom. I also want to set up traditions in our home and Chris is always asking why I'm doing this or that and I always say it is a tradition. I wanted to put lights outside and he thinkis it is cause I want to out do the neighbors (there is no out doing our neighbors) I tell him I want to do it for the kids. The other day I painted our front room window with a snowman and a tree and Allie wanted to join in so I let her paint a tree on the other window, she did a pretty good job. While the kids were at the babysitter they got to make santa hats They were so cute that I just had to take a picture of them for you all to see. Have a great Holiday season and I will work on posting more fun things that we do.

Thanksgiving

Oops I have been slacking again. I hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving. I am looking forward to spending time with family. I am thinking about putting the Christmas tree up,but so far this morning my energy level isn't very high. I did however get visited by 2 little indians. I just wanted to share these cute visitors with all of you.
