There were a few funny moments today... just thought I'd share.
The kids had swimming lessons today and afterwards, the 5 of us all swam together in the large pool. A young woman walked by on the pool deck wearing a bikini, and unfortunately she really did not have the body for it (hey, neither do I, but you will never catch me wearing a bikini in public either). Chad was holding Caleb in the water and Caleb saw this girl, points and says "NAKED"! Chad and I looked at each other, trying not to bust out laughing and said, "Well, he is sort of right!" We hope she didn't hear him. He's under 2... he has no tact yet.
At bath time tonight, I was getting the boys ready for the tub. Eric was in already and I was getting Caleb's clothes off. When I put Caleb in, I noticed something yellow on the ledge of the tub near the shampoo and conditioner bottles. I wiped at it, thinking it was spilled baby wash. No, of course it wasn't spilled baby wash. It had to be pee, from our 4 year old who is too busy playing in the tub to get out and use the bathroom. Why he stood up to pee on the ledge and didn't just do it in the water, I have no idea. Did I run clean bath water? I'll let you guess. How much water is technically enough to dilute it?? How much soap in the water does it take to kill anything germy? Let's just say I tried to find out. Hey, we probably
already swam in plenty of pee in the pool today so who cares!?!?!
This evening at bedtime, I asked Anna to pick the next bible story we would read. She said matter-of-factly, "Madam and Eve". Thankfully I am enough of a bible scholar (yeah, right) to know which story she meant.
Kids say (and do) the darndest things, eh? Tonight I am thankful for the daily doses of laughter that keep me mindful of how much fun parenting is (even when it feels pretty darn hard at times too). Oh, and I am thankful that Chad liked the 2 new business suits I bought him today (his first ones EVER). And thankful that he looked super cute in them too!

I agree! The other day when I was giving Zen his millionth medicine that morning, he told me that he was a "medicine dinoseur". I asked what he meant, and he said "Dino-seur. Like the people who eat a lot of cheese." *Connesiuer*(spelling)
And this evening, we were watching a movie at church, and he was coloring on index cards in the pew, and he is drawing a little face. He looks up at me, and very matter-of-factly places the card drawing-down on the seat, scoots it away, and informs me "hims a bad girl"
I love you, and wish I could be present for all the silly things in your kiddos' lives.
I'll let you know what we do on mothers day once we've done it. It's a surprise for mom so I can't tell you yet.
