I wasn't feeling well and was laying down. Ben was still in the tub and was ready to get out. I asked Jacob if he could get Ben his towel. He left my room to help Ben and awhile later I was calling for Ben to bring me a diaper because I didn't want him to "potty" anywhere. Well, Jacob said that Ben was almost ready. He had gotten Ben out of the tub, had him drain the water, dried him off, diapered him and gotten him completely dressed for church! Socks, shoes, tie, undershirt, the whole works, and he looked great. Jacob said that he liked doing it, it was fun!

Make your hair!
November 13, 2007
One morning last week I had asked Micah and Jacob if they had made their beds. Ben looked at his bed and said, "My bed not made mommy." It was pretty cute, but even cuter than that was a few minutes later when he saw himself in the closet door mirror and said, "My hair not made mommy." Of course he said this because he had bedhead and his hair was sticking up and very messy. I love how kids put things into words!

Stinks like me
September 25, 2007
Yesterday Jacob was hiding in the hamper, atop mine and Tyler's dirty clothes. He yelled out, "Yuck! Mommy what stinks so much like you in here?" Nice huh? I sure felt lovely.

Illiterate, edible and eager
August 24, 2007
A few things about Micah and Jacob's 1st day of school. 8-20-07
Jacob was talking to Tyler about school, telling him he loved it and everything, and then he said, "But I didn't learn to read."
During the afternoon, he, Jacob, was eating fruit snacks and telling Ben that he was going to smush a whole bunch together and make an "edible ball."
Micah learned a new word from his teacher on the 1st day and told me that he was, "eager to go to school," and that was why he woke up too early.

Shaver Lake Cross
August 20, 2007
We went to Shaver Lake on Saturday, 8-18-07. The lake was so low that some of the docks were just laying up on dry ground. Jacob, seeing one of these said, "Someone gigantic must have died there." The dock looked like a huge cross. Jacob knows that when someone dies in a traffic accident people will often place a cross at the scene of the accident. So, he came to the conclusion that since it was a huge cross, someone gigantic died there!

good bye traing wheels X4!
July 27, 2007
Micah learned today, finally, to ride a two-wheeler without training wheels, at age 6! It really is our fault though, it took us this long because we just simply haven't worked on it with him. Well, Jacob (age 4) also learned tonight how to do it too! He still needs some work, but he can do it! Well, I was commenting that it has been a good day and Micah said, "This is probably the best night of my whole life!" He has been wanting to be able to ride a bike for such a long time now and I'm so glad that we finally took the time to help him realize his dream!

To flick a booger out
July 13, 2007
Last week Tyler was laying with Benjamin on our bed when Benjamin tooted. Tyler laughed and Ben giggled and said, "Fireworks" or "Piyaworks"
Just a few minutes ago Micah was yelling for me but Tyler went to him and he said something about a moth flying into our house. Tyler asked him where it flew in from and Micah told him from the slider, Tyler asked him how, Micah said, "I opened it." Tyler asked why he opened it and Micah said, "To flick a booger out, OK?!"
