Repetitious Prayers

Kaden age 5

Kaden was saying his prayer tonight with me right by his side and he got into a little bit of a routine. He said...

"Please bless mommy that she'll be feel..... uh... that she'll get home..... uhh.. bless mom."

I think he was trying to say "bless mom that she will get feeling better or bless mom that she will get home safe... then he realized I was right next to him so he said, bless mom".

Hugs

Garrett Age 4 1/2

Mom:  Garrett I need hugs...I love you so much

Pretty much everything ends in "No... Avee do it. Mom you no help"
I just thought I better share this glorious stage so I don't forget. It's not frustrating at all :)

Today at breakfast she was drinking her smoothie and she put it on the cupboard. I picked it up to give it to her and she pointed her finger at me and said... "I just getting a napkin. No move it!"

Where do germs come from?

Kaden age 5

Kaden: "Mom, I think I know how germs work."
Turia: "what do you mean Kade"
Kaden: "The germs are in your body asleep and when you get a tummy ache it's because the germs wake up and start wigging around inside you"
Turia: "Wow. Kade, You are probably right"
Kaden: "Aren't you glad I'm so much smarter than you guys?"

Sounding like a teenager

Kaden was eating some chicken and he said,
"Wow.. thats so freakin good!"

My Hero

Avery age 2 1/2

Avery, Kaden and I were playing in his room the other morning. Kaden came up to us with his sword and Avery quickly jumped on my lap and said, "I save you mommy!" She grabbed my neck and held on tight repeating "I save you, I save you". When Kaden came back towards us with the sword, Avery raised her hand towards him and said in a mean deep voice, "SILENCCCCCCE"

I still can't figure out where that came from, but I about peed my pants laughing so hard.

Last Night (Sunday) we were sitting out by the fire pit and Cory (our neighbor) came out for a little to talk.  When he went inside his blinds were open and his tv was on.  Garrett said the following:

Mom:  Why do you say uh oh Garrett?
