Mimi gave Jonah and Hannah some card games. They love playing them. Right now the favorite is "Old Maid," but they always forget and call it "Old Fashion." I keep hearing Jonah say, "Hey Hannah, you want to play 'Old Fashion?" I don't know why, but that tickles.
Cousins Micah and Ezra spent the night at our house this past Friday. They complained that they were hot when we put them to bed. I think they stripped down to keep from being too hot. But apparently, it got really cold overnight. At 6:30 am I woke up to Ezra shouting "I'm going downstairs, I'm cold." Joey went to check on him and he was buck naked and it was 62 degrees upstairs. Poor guy.
Joey gave Hannah a piece of candy and I mentioned to Hannah that she has the best daddy in the world. She responded to me (not him), "Yes, mommy. You did a good job picking out a daddy. Good job!" Then she gave me a big thumbs up. I think Joey took it as a thank you.
Joey took the plunge and bought Crossway's ESV Study Bible. It's rockin' awesome. We might be on our way to becoming an ESV household. On his way out of the store, he picked up a mini ESV Bible too. I laughed and called it his "impulse Bible."
Jonah often starts sentences with this phrase "Mom, I didn't want to tell you this, but..." Usually this beginning means 1) he has done something wrong or 2) he and I are about to have a really cool mother-son conversation about something deep like God, sin or...farts. It's one of those total open door kind of conversations, you know. This time, he started with "Mom, I didn't want to tell you this, but..." and finished with "...I hate K-I-S-S" (he spelled out kiss because he didn't want to say it). Then he kind of half-grinned. Apparently there is a group of third grade girls who are stalking him at recess and talking about the "kiss." (Come any closer girls and you are going to encounter one Jonah momma going postal.) Seriously though, it tickled me that he "hates K-I-S-S" and feels the freedom to share that with me. It led to a good conversation.
Speaking of recess, Jonah also told me that he spent one entire recess crying but trying not to let anyone see. Apparently one of his best buddies didn't want to play with him that day. BROKE MY HEART. That, my friends, did NOT tickle.
Hannah is on a blue kick. I offered to help her pick out something to wear yesterday and her response was, "okay, as long as it is blue or beautiful."
Our toilet started leaking so Joey had to figure out the problem. He took the entire toilet out and carried it to the backyard. I wanted nothing to do with any of that. Turns out it just needed a new wax seal. Joey had it all fixed and put back together within a few hours. I am tickled pink to have a husband who can handle all those icky jobs around the house. Thanks honey! Good job. ;)
I slept in this morning because we don't have Bible Study due to fall break. I woke up at 7:00 and found both kids UNDER my bed. I must have been really tired. Totally didn't hear them come downstairs OR crawl under the bed. They thought it was hilarious. Little boogers. I love them though.
