Snow!

We haven't had the greatest snow storms this year, but that didn't stop Joseph from loving the little bit that has fallen.  

Just a little side note...isn't my husband just yummy?  He is sooo handsome!

Silly boy!

Reading time

The boys love to read books to Joey.  He eats it up and loves every minute of it!

 

Trampoline Fun!

Food for thought...

" If we at first believe that what we are about to say will be to someone's benefit, but then, after we use our discernment, we decide that our words will only hurt the other person, then it is better to remain silent."

Quoted from one of my favorite books, Our Thoughts Determine Our Lives-The Life and Teachings of Elder Thaddeus of Vitovnica

Things I never would have thought...

I never would have thought that if you run out of soap, instead of getting another bar of soap to wash your body, your Toms of Maine deodorant can take it's place.

While I was cleaning the boys bathroom last week, I noticed they had no soap in the shower.  So, I asked them why they had no soap.  They both replied they just hadn't gotten a new one and were using their deodorant to wash their bodies(and I'm guessing their hair since I noticed they were out of shampoo as well).
I  never would have guessed that this was something I had to check on...
Crazy, I know.....

Pickles and Peas

I know I shouldn't document this, but I can't help it.  I don't want to forget.  Nicholas has been very curious lately about the birds and the bees and where babies come from.  We have explained it to him in a very age appropriate manner(we believe).  Nicholas is my kid that ADORES children and has said that he wants to have 64 children when he grows up.  He is an AMAZING big brother to Joey and little Peanut follows him around and copies him constantly, it's really cute.  The other day we were talking about what he'd like to be when he got older and he named all the regular boy things + one:  baseball player, go cart racer, inventor, and babysitter.  I'm telling you he loves kids!
Anyway, I guess the other day he sat down with Darryl and said he didn't want children. Darryl asked why and he said it's because he didn't think *laying* with a woman sounded enjoyable.  Well, Darryl said that when you are married, it can be enjoyable(I'm giggling as I type this).  Well, then Nicholas asks how the pickles and peas get together.

Pickles and peas?

What?

Apparently, that is the name he has chosen to call boy and girl parts.  Now, I know I'm thinking pickles and peas are the boys parts, but, no...Pickles=boys  Peas=girl.  Not sure why, but I find it utterly hilarious and am so thankful that he chose to talk to Darryl about it because I would have been fighting with all my might not to crack up.  I still haven't had the courage to ask him why peas because I know I would start laughing.  It's so cute!  

(Just wanted to add...he does know the appropriate names for these parts, but I guess he feels more comfortable with his own names.)
