Pumpkin picking

"Mom, Jesus is the best super hero ever. He has the power to heal and protect us. I want to be Jesus for Halloween. He's not spooky."

Because....

when your little boy begs you to make cinnamon rolls for dinner you do it.

Because life is short.

Because you love him more than words.

Because he has you wrapped around his little 4 year old finger.

Yep. That's why.

Fall Break

The kids were out of school Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday of this week. With no big plans and rainy weather we spent a lot of time inside but it was nice (mostly:)) to have all the kids home. We ventured down south one day so Hallie could take full advantage of Red Lobster and their all you can eat shrimp special. That girl and her shrimp I tell ya, it really is something. A trip to Ross and an unplanned trip to Costco to fix our flat tire and then we came home. I took the kids swimming one afternoon, the kids made cookies together, Mckay sang the Spookely the square pumpkin song over and over. It's still ringing in my ears. He did however learn a new Halloween song at preschool today that he's been mixing with the Spookely song; something about a witch who tears her britches. I love this age so much. Everything is so fun and exciting and he says the funniest things. He's constantly making me laugh. 

We also watched the first Star Wars movie with the kids. Sadie was the only one who made it through the whole thing. She asked me about halfway through "Mom, how old is this movie?! Were you alive when it came out?!" I instantly felt old. Ha! Kids really know how to keep things real. That was about it. Today it was back to usual, school, laundry, carpool, basketball practice, homework, dinner, baths, etc.

The kids making cookies. Yes they fight a lot, yes they drive each other crazy but at the end of the day they really do love each other and I hope they will always be close.

It's time to start blogging again. It's a great way to journal what's going on around here. Life seems to get busier and busier but I don't want to forget these days. They are full but full of so much good. I have so much to be thankful for.
