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."
