Kid Tidbits
At Thanksgiving we always go around the table and say what we are thankful for and this year was no exception. With Sophie in my lap we sat there and listened to a few of the older kids say what they were thankful for so that they could go play. Without warning Sophie suddenly piped up and said that she was thankful for her mommy and daddy, and her family, and for pie. She is for sure her father's daughter.
Keegan suddenly cares what he wears, so now the cute sweaters he used to wear so willingly have all but been shunted out of his wardrobe. His pick: sweatpants, t-shirts and a hoodie. He is for sure his father's son.
Every evening when I am praying with Sophie we pray for her one-day husband, that he is having a good life and being raised to love God and such. In the middle of our prayer the other day she stopped me, stating very emphatically that she was NOT going to marry a boy because boys are gross. Rather she is going to marry Lindsey, her new friend from gymnastics. I have yet to shake her from this idea, as evidenced tonight when Lindsay and her family came over to play and when they were leaving (and I swear to you I am not lying) she kissed Lindsey on the lips, said "I like the way your lips feel. I'm gonna marry you." I'm still not sure what to do here. Advice welcome.
Keegan is getting more and more BOY everyday. It is almost comical to see the daily one-eighty as he is sweet as can be to Sophie, right up until the point where he body slams her.
Sophie is so ready for Christmas that I had to make her a calender to mark down the days. I am just waiting to get up and find all the boxes exed out in unsteady crayon hand, as if by magic, overnight. She is just sneaky enough to give it a go.
Keegan has decided he loves the David Crowder Band. He sings "he loves us, he loves us, he loves us, he loves us, OOOOOO he loves us". Any attempt to sing along with him is immediately squelched with an intense "SHOOSH, MOMMA". The first time he did it I looked to Jacob and was like, did that just happen? Really?
Life is good here. The kids are well and we are having much fun together.

JUST TELL SOPHIE THAT WHEN SHE GETS A LTTLE OLDER, SHE WILL NOT THINK BOYS ARE GROSS.
ALSO TELL HER THAT GIRLS DON'T MARRY GIRLS AND BOYS DONT MARRY BOYS.
NUFF SAID
LOVE GRANDMAMA
To help my kids wait "patiently" until Christmas, we make a Christmas paper chain. We put fun activities on each link, some simple, some involved, but it's not necessary. You could leave it plain too. When they can take a link off each day, they can SEE time is passing and it works well for us.....
