heard from the bath

By -
The kids are in the bath right now and they're having an interesting conversation...

Ethan: Rachel, can I sit where you are and you sit where I am? Say "yes Efan."

Rachel: No.

Ethan: Rachel, you need to say "Okay, Efan!"

Rachel: No, E-E.

Ethan: Rachel... in the Bible I think it says to obey me when I tell you these things.

Rachel : BIBLE!!

Ethan: That's right, Rache... so now you need to obey Jesus and say "Yes, Efan."

Rachel: No.

Ethan: Rachel, are you trying to make me mad at you?

Rachel: Yeah.

Ethan: Well, you're making it work. Because I very mad at you now.

Rachel: I wanna see Nana.

Ethan: I can't spank you, Rache, but Mommy can and if I tell her what you did, she will want to spank you.

Rachel: Where Papa go?!

Ethan: Mommy?! Rachel's not listening to me!!

I know! She definitely knows what no and yes mean now and its funny to see her just sit there casually and say "No." She says it very, um... sweet and kind, in her high voice. Which I think makes Ethan more upset. :)

That is hilarious. I love the E says "Efhan." It sounds like he copies things that you say to them :) Very cute!

He does copy me! Its funny... he likes to conveniently mix up stuff we say though... "I think the Bible says to obey me when I tell you these things." Nice one. ;)

That's hilarious! I love the things kids say. A few weeks ago at Awana, Whitney tried to make a little boy apologize to her for getting her in trouble when she didn't do anything wrong. Needless to say, he wuoldn't apologize and she melted down. Gotta love those kids and their persuasive abilities!

One Thousandth blog post + GIVEAWAY!!

By -
This marks the  one thousandth blog post   for me !  If you added the blogging over at Jastef.net, I'm sure it would be far more, but I haven't blogged over there since Kara was a baby. For my simple mind, Blogger worked out much better for me. Sorry, husband.  I've been at this blogging thing for almost 8 years and I'm still not sick of it! I like to write {never thought I'd say that} and I really enjoy interacting with people; friends and then strangers who become friends.  Its great and its been a great way for us to share our day-to-day life with our families, since we moved.  Jason and I have been mulling around what I should do for a 1,000 blog post giveaway, just for fun. Not because I think my 1,000 post is as special to all of you as it is to me. We tossed around the idea of a Kindle, since Amazon dropped the price, but it was still... too much for me. We settled on a fun idea. You get to pick the final result, so read on and then be ...

keeping the sickies away

Probably like most of you Moms, I've been sick of being sick throughout the winter. Its such a fun, holiday time of year and totally stinks when you're stuck inside, with illnesses. And, if you're not a fan of getting a vaccine for every little bug that goes around, you end up realizing you have to do your research to learn how to build up the immune systems and keep your brood healthy. I'm also learning that when it comes to sickness {we're talking sickness that won't cause death}, its actually good for our bodies to learn to fight things off naturally and not constantly running to get shots or drugs to cure us from ever getting sick again {which those shots don't do anyway}.  I'm no pro and my oldest child isn't even 7 yet, so I'm definitely not posting this to teach you ladies anything. And, for those of you with older kids, feel free to leave tips for how you keep your family healthy or natural ways to fight off colds and viruses.  ...
