Babies in Cohens tummy

Cohen and Chezney found an old pacifier that belonged to them as babies. Since they found it, they have taken turns playing with it, and occasionally we find it in their mouths. We tell them to take it out, but for the most part, its just funny to them to tote around.

Last night, I tucked Cohen into bed and he had it in his mouth.

I said: "Cohen... you are not a baby. Take that out of your mouth."

Cohen: "Mom, when I'm in your tummy again and then a baby, can I put it in my mouth?"

Me: "Cohen... you're never going to be in my tummy again. You are going to get bigger. You are going to be as big as Ethan, then as big as Danissa, and then you'll have your own babies someday."

Cohen: "The baby in my tummy is crying."

Me: "Cohen, you are going to be a daddy. Daddies don't have babies in their tummies. Mommies do."

Cohen: (laughing) "Yes they do mommy... you are silly. You are teasing."

Me: "No honey... I'm not teasing. Boys don't have babies in their tummies. Only girls. Only mommies have babies in their tummies."

Cohen: (laughing harder) "Mommy... you are so funny! You are teasing me!"

This continued until I finally just tucked him in and left the room. Aparently, mommy is just too funny to ever be taken seriously! ;)

German?

On the way home from the cabin today, we told the kids we'd pick up some lunch for the kids in Cle Elem. At this, Ethan says "Yea!!! I LOVE German food!!!" LOL

We ate at Dairy Queen.

Thanksgiving

My in-laws rented a beautiful cabin for the family to retreat to for the holiday. We spent 4 days enjoying each others company and the kids all did really well (there were 7 of them up there!) I am so blessed to have a family that I love on both sides and am so grateful that my kids are being raised surrounded in love.

Native Americans

Ethans class also performed at the Thanksgiving assembly. Their song was about all the things they have learned about Native American Tribes and where the major tribes originated from in the US territory.

Isrealites

Before Thanksgiving break, Danissa was in a play about Judges and she played an Isrealite (Moana's wife) & warrior girl. She did a great job on her one liner ;) It was: "Praise be to God who let us see the angel of the LORD and live!". The angel was played by my niece Breanna.

Little

The family was having a "wrestle time" when Mike decided to remind the older two that they need to be careful because Cohen is little (Chezney was off doing something else). Cohen looks at them and very seriously says "Ya... I'm really really little."

Taste of... Fresh Air?

As the kids were begging for snacks, I started to scour the kitchen to find just the right snack for the day. I pulled out cheese and Triscuits. As I start to hand them out to three excited kids, I asked Ethan if he would like some Triscuits. "No", he states, "They taste like fresh air."
