Little Diva


Ok , so today, my four year old daughter squealed when she realized the Jonas Brother's were on TV; and for Christmas she wants an "ear pod" so she can listen to Hannah Montanna. At the start of the school year Ellie brought home the most adorable pictures of our family and God and the cross, but after only a few weeks those images were replaced by hearts and the names Ellie and Justin written at the top of each page. Boy am I in for it. And just so we're clear on one thing, the outfit was all her idea.

Incognito

A few months ago while the kids and I were doing a craft I painted the kids faces. As I looked at their faces disguised with a black mustache and big pink lips, I thought to myself why are my babies disguised as preschoolers and when did this happen. They are growing up so fast. The things they say amaze me.


One morning while getting ready for school, I told Ellie to take her PJ's to the laundry. She looked at me and began to cry saying "I just new you were going to tell me to do my chores and I don't want to." I told her that I don't want to do my chores and went on to list all the things that I do on a daily basis. When I finished I looked down into her little eyes. Her expression had totally changed and she said "well, I never knew you felt like that."

Also last Wednesday, when I was getting Ellie out of the shower she coughed and asked me if she had the swine flu. I asked where she had heard that and she replied "you say it all the time."

Prayer time at the Moore's house is always entertaining when it's Jackson's turn. One night Jackson prayed "God our Father please help Mommy go to the grocery and get me Sprite."

Jackson started soccer a couple of weeks ago. We took him with us to the meeting and on the way home I was explaining to him how things would work. He got really upset when he realized that we were leaving and he was not going to get to play that night. He kept crying "I want to play soccer. I'm a soccer player," Once he calmed down I told him that his team was the Cheetahs. He then began to chant "I'm a cheater, oh yeah I'm a cheater."

Fishy, Fishy in...our Pool?!?

Although our neighborhood pool has not officially closed for the fall, there are rumors it may close early due to a fish sighting last Saturday. These two little fish have sworn off floatation devices and dive right in. Ellie learned to swim earlier this summer, but Jackson decided to give it a try a couple of weeks ago.
