Unprepared


As a mother, there are times when I am caught completely off guard. Like Benjamin picking broccoli over french fries. Or Nicholas' ability to climb. But nothing could have prepared me for Eliana this morning. In her cute little voice she said, "Mom, I have pockets in my pants. Pockets can hold things. Where's my weapon? My pockets need a weapon!"

Love it. I could have a girl if she said things like that to me.

You so deserve this little one! She's fearless and awesome! Those boys better be careful!

From her sweet picture, it is hard to believe she could say such things! :) Madelyn loves shooting Matthew's Buzz gun. She also likes playing with their shake 'n go cars. She'll probably end up just like Eliana. I can't wait!

That made me laugh out loud! I think we bonded in nursery last week!

Hi Rachel,
Hope you don't mind me stopping by to say hi. I loved getting to know you a bit. And I seriously laughed SO hard when I read this post and the others with stuff your kids have said/done. Too funny.
Thanks for reading 30days! It's nice to "meet" you.

Wow! I haven't looked at your blog for a long time. Your baby is a big girl now.
She's so cute! Guess she's bound to say stuff like that with all her brothers. :)
