Asher - 3 years

Chancery - 1 year

***************************

Chancery: "I have a question.... Why is it that Asher gets to have toys & I have to sit here empty handed?"

Asher: "Because I always come prepared!"

Chancery: "Then I'm going to get a book."

Asher: "I don't think she understands that she's still supposed to look at you, Mummy."

Career Aspirations?

I saw this on another pastor's wife's blog & had to post it too........

He Calls Out At Bedtime

Asher just keeps on coming up with new things to yell at us after he's supposed to be in bed.  I think I could probably start a second blog with just his bedtime quotes (but what would I call it?)!

Last night after PChad put him to bed, Asher began with, "Daddy! Daaaaaaaaaaaaaddy!  DAAA-AAADDEEE!"

After that went on for a minute or two without the desired results, he changed his tactics to, "Mummy!  Muuuummy!  Daddy's not cooperating!"

And I didn't cooperate either.

E-nun-C-ate!

I was at the doctor's office in the waiting room this afternoon, sitting across from a girl who was about 6 & her father.  She was making her way through the stack of children's books in the waiting room & picked up a book of Mother Goose Rhymes.

She said, "Oh, I know THESE!" and promptly started "reading" them to her father.  She did pretty well until she got to "Little Miss Muffet".

Little Miss Muffin sat on her tuffin
eating her curbs away.....
Along came a spider that sat down beside her
and frightened Miss Muffin away.


Maybe it's just too outdated & kids don't understand the language so they make up their own.  Next was "Baa, Baa, Black Sheep".

Black, Black, Black Sheep have you any more?
Yes, Sir, yes, Sir, three bags, four.
One for the boss, two for the same. And one for the little boy who lives down the lane.

Sadly, I was called back before she got through the book. I was looking forward to hearing the rest of the "updated" rhymes.

Happy Halloween!

I realized that I forgot to post pictures of the kids in the Halloween costumes.  Well, late is better than never!  A friend loaned us costumes this year, so they were coordinated.

 Asher was Tigger...

 

...and Chancery was a "Hunny" pot.

Asher kept asking for help to put his costume on, and not 5 minutes later would take it right back off again.  So I was a bit worried that Chancery wouldn't like wearing her costume, but she brought it to me to put it on her ALL THE TIME in the week preceding the holiday.

*****************************

Chancery: "Asher has a cough, so Daddy is staying home with him today."

Chancery: "I think they'll probably spend all morning reading books."

Asher: "Do you mind?  We are trying to read!"

Chancery: "I was wondering if anyone would like to read a book to ME."

Chancery: "I'll just sit in this chair right here & wait."
