Krista and I decided we wanted to send my mom a package to make working in my dad’s office less depressing so we decided to make her those motivational posters with the word and then quote, only we thought we’d select pictures of our kids. We had some difficulty figuring out a good way to [...]

I just can’t bring myself to allow my kids control over a large supply of candy so this is what I do:
On Halloween I usually confiscate all of the children’s candy within an hour of our arrival home. I allow them a small amount of time to gorge, but I start to fret about them [...]

I decided to make this a separate blog post because I didn’t want to make an excessively long blog post.
Here’s some of the conversation Charlotte and I had as she fell asleep in my arms this evening
Charlotte: "I’m Charlotte."
me: "Yes, you’re Charlotte."
Charlotte: "Nicole is not Charlotte. Nicole is a baby."
me: "Yes, Nicole is a [...]

That’s her favorite phrase. Throughout the day she’ll just say "I’m Charlotte." During dinner, when she plays, as I hug her good-night. I wonder how much of her behavior i s because she’s Charlotte and how much of it can be attributed to being 2.
I love her dearly, but she is the most stubborn, [...]

Isaac saw this kitten through the glass door in the kitchen and asked if he could pet it. I told him it wasn’t a good idea since we didn’t know the cat. He told me that he wanted to name the cat Eustace. I said ok. He asked "now I pet the cat? Because [...]

The kids got a letter from their cousin today. Isaac was excited to write back. Here is what he said and the responses from his sisters:
Dear Joshua-
I want to tell you about everything that we do. Like when we made a sugar mess today. We were spilling it. Mom was not happy.
I like big [...]

First of all, I don’t know if Zach’s blog post really counts as being tagged and considering that his being tagged is questionable, I figure I can pick and choose the questions I want to answer and since I’ve enjoyed some of the other tagged posts I’ve read I stole some questions from them:

On election day we walked in the house after voting and Isaac announced with great concern that "the naughty don’t want Obama to vote." We’re not Obama supporters and we haven’t really been talking politics much around the kids (that I can think of) or listening to much political stuff so I was surprised by [...]

Charlotte has become more independent in her prayers lately. Instead of just repeating the same phrases over or waiting for help, she has started adding new ones. Here are a few favorites from this week: "Bless us to have good dreams. Bless us to have another good dream." "Bless that all my dreams will [...]

"What it is: Pseudostrabismus (soo-doh-strah-BIS-mus) refers to eyes that appear to point in different directions, but actually do not."
My mother pointed out to me that in some pictures it looked like one of Nicole’s eyes was turning in. I asked the pediatrician about this and after examining her eyes for several minutes he determined that [...]

We invited our good friends the Kelsons over for family night. The lesson was on how Jesus taught us to be kind and love others. I shared a story during the lesson about Jesus healing a blind man. The lesson ended with a paper puzzle covering a picture of Jesus. The kids were required to [...]

Yes, I know I’m behind, but better late then never right. We had a busy day but it was fun. I do have a picture of all three of my kids in their costumes, but I don’t think I look very good in it so I refuse to post it here. We started the [...]

So I went to vote this morning, and I kid you not, the songs that came up random while I voted were as follows:
"The Same Old Song" by The Four Tops
"Beat It" by Michael Jackson
"Moby Dick" by Led Zeppelin
"Careless Love" sung by Harry Connick Jr.
"Fascination Street" by The Cure
I think there’s a deeper meaning in [...]
