Want to know what's up?

The cutest things...

One reason I enjoy my children so much is they show me the greatness of life's simple things. Whether it be watching a squirrel as it dashes madly about storing nuts for winter. Or knowing that it's no laundry basket it's a car, "bye mom" and they can drive anywhere they want in it. Sometimes it's just sitting in the kitchen with a mixing bowl and spoon helping mommy "cook". Whenever I'm at work and need to smile I think of my 5 yr old. "Mommy will you read me the crocka-gator story." Is it a crocodile or an alligator, she doesn't know so she covers all the bases. I'm laughing just thinking of it.

My most recent funny story straight from the tales with a 2yr old boy:
Jen wakes me up one morning and says "Mommy where's Aid?" Groggily I reply "Uh, whaaat?" "Where's Aid?" Next thing we hear is this giggling coming from Lil's portable bassinet I have next to my side of the bed. Jen lifts the blanket off it a bit and we see this one eye looking up at us. Aid laughs and says"Mommy get me cereal?" I tell him yes, then I hear this crinkling plastic sound. He throws back the covers and pulls out the bag of Marshmallow Mateys. "Mommy get me cereal?" I laugh, because I realize that he either woke up really late the night before or really early that morning, got the cereal, and when he couldn't roust me out of sleep, crawled in the bassinet with it and pulled the covers over his head. F.Y.I. Lil was not in the bassinet, she was with me.

Well, as I write this Lil is sitting in my lap. I think she has finally consented to going to bed, so we are off.
