A Merry Heart

My youngest three children keep me laughing. Yesterday, Myles spilled a little bit of his smoothie on the bench in the kitchen. He was crying hysterically. I didn't say anything to him while I cleaned it up and then when I got finished I picked him up and quietly said, "It is ok Myles, mommy cleaned it up." Mariah looked at me and said, "You amaze me mommy. If that was me with my child I would be fired up!" What was really funny is how quickly she apparently forgot me yelling at Malachi for spilling his smoothie just last week! Something about smoothies and mornings....Last weekend we attended a home school conference. We had promised Malachi that we would buy him a duct tape sword if he would sit still during the conferences. He had gone into the bathroom with Marc and had his sword with him. While in the bathroom there was a little boy that asked to hold Malachi's sword. He handed it to him and then Marc said he immediately had a concerned look on his face and said, "Wait a minute, you didn't wash your hands! You need to wash your hands first!" Marc said the little boys older brother looked mortified and told him to wash his hands. Malachi is going to always speak his mind!


This morning while I was..... making smoothies (we really like smoothies around here! :o) Malachi said, "You are a different kind of mommy. You are the funniest mommy I ever seen." I asked him why and he said, "You call me angel and stuff. I wish you would just call me fireball." Yep, never a dull moment around this house! :o)


McKenzie took some pictures of Mariah for me the other day. I liked this last one because it shows her funny personality.
