I'll trade you.

I was getting Peyton ready and commented on what a cute bum she has. I said something about wishing I had a tiny bum like hers, she giggled and said that she wanted a big bum like mine. She laughed and said, "That's funny huh mom, we want each others bums!"

advertisers

A few days ago (Friday night) I was late getting dinner ready and the kids were hungry. Micah said it was okay and suggested that we just start with "advertisers". You know, appetizers.

Fluinziana shot anyone?

We were all in my and Tyler's bed for scripture reading before school when Micah said, "What if you got a flu shot and you still got Fluinziana?" Of course what he meant was influenza. We all got a good laugh with that one.

music heals the tears

Yesterday Peyton was crying about something as Tyler and I were leading her up to the van to go grocery shopping. We started driving and we were listening to Christmas music for a few minutes when Peyton said, "That music made my tears feel better!"

Dinner, yeah right.

A few days ago Peyton and I were driving home from Joanne's Fabric Store. I had bought her a treat (Jelly Bellies) which she was eating in the van. She said, with a smile on her face, "This is sure a good dinner Mom." What a jokester!

Mean brothers

Peyton just asked me (Daddy) for help finding one of her brothers' Lego toys to play with. I didn't know what exactly she wanted, so I told her to ask her brothers for help- to which she emphatically replied, "I can't ask them for help, my brothers are mean!" For the record, her brothers are very good about helping her with anything but playing with their Legos.

Blessings

Week before last Tyler came home for lunch. Peyton said her first prayer without help, it was beautiful. In it she said, "Bless our blessings to bless us." I thought it was so cute, so did her daaddy.
