Michael Jr is too cute :) (meanie)

Lately, Michael Jr (2 1/2 years old) has been saying different family members are mean. He picked it up from others saying it, but daddy told him not to say "mean" anymore.


So, tonight when Branden (our oldest) was carrying boxes downstairs and outside, MJ was following him around and they were talking. Well, it is October (nearing the end) in Wisconsin (northeast), so we are trying to keep the door closed as much as possible, as the heat is on in the house.

Well, after Branden had taken a box out, Michael had closed the door. When Branden was trying to get back in, Michael was laughing and saying that he locked Branden out of the house. Branden says to Michael that locking him out was mean, and then said, "You are a meanie," while laughing and smiling. Michael was saying something to Branden and Branden was not really listening and kept repeating that Michael was goofy and being a little meanie.

When I stopped to listen to what Michael was really saying, I called Branden back and asked if he heard what Michael was saying. Here's what MJ was saying, "Bandin, daddy no say mean; daddy no say mean." (Daddy said not to say "mean".)

Oh my word, that boy is such cute little thing.....I could just eat him up!!!!

I have no idea where that boy comes from!!

7/4/2013

Wow, it was amazing :)

This past Thursday, the fourth of July, I actually got to sleep in and wake up on my own! In a small house full of 7 children (ages 18 years to 2 years, 3 months old), there's usually some noise that will wake me up. I may lay in bed for a while, but I am awake.

This time it was different. The five oldest (18, 16, 13, 11, & 7) are on a camping trip with their Aunt & Uncle. We only have the 5 year old and the 2.25 year old home. And they usually sleep in. :)

So this was a nice "QUIET" morning for me/us. When I woke up, it was between 9:00 and 10:00 am. Been a LONG time since I've gotten to do that.

Very nice morning :)


{yes, I kinda miss the kids ;) }

Baby MJ

"Baby MJ" is 2 days shy of 26 months. Such a handsome, sweet little guy! Love him. He is the youngest of 7 children. 

He's too cute, but especially today :)

I turned on "Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood" and he started watching. All of a sudden, he runs up to the tv to show me something. He had spotted a toy truck on the shelf in Daniel's room, but by the time he got to the tv, the picture changed and there was a character in front of the shelf. MJ is *wiping* at the character as if to push it out of the way so that he could see the truck on the shelf! It was too funny!
