Daily Quirks

I realized today that most of what we post here is the exciting, out of the ordinary, triumphant moments in our family. I suppose that's why lately, I've tried to post a better picture of what every day looks like for us. Being a LOVER of recording family history, I have so many ways I'm recording for us. For example,  I save my sappy, mommy moments for the boys journals & even some of the funny little sayings. I thought I'd record some here for your enjoyment. I just love these little boys!

Scene 1: Every morning I wake up to.. 
 *fling* (the curtain open - yes we don't have a door to our room, just a curtain)
Mommy: Good morning, Cadence.
Cadence: Mommy, I wanna eat.
M: What do you want to eat?
C: Toast.
M: Okay, just a minute, let me say my prayers.
C: I wanna eat Mom.
M: I know, I have to say my prayers first.
C: Mom, I'm hungry
(with some serious variations of hunger lasting until the toast/breakfast is ready)

Scene 2: Playtime - Imagination
Cadence has a little picture of a bird on the instructions to Heigh-Ho Cherry-O (one of our favorite games) and he's pretending to play Angry Birds with it (trying to fling it across the page IPAD style).
Cade: Mom, I want Angry Birds.
Mom: I don't have Angry Birds.
C: Oh, that's right, Cassie does (my sister)
C: (continuing to play with his piece of paper) Mom, I want to play Angry Birds.
M: You are playing it.
C: Oh, yeah.

Scene 3: Kory at Meals
Kory's tummy has been trouble, so no solid food for him (in fact, he doesn't really like it much yet anyway).
Kory: (anxious stare at the rest of the family)
Kory: (moving his mouth and grabbing anything he can to put in it)
Kory: Mama...
Mom: (hands Kory a baby spoon)
Kory: (satisfied)

Scene 4: Kory at Playtime
Mom & Cadence doing their own thing meanwhile
Kory: *Raspberry*
Kory: *More intense raspberry, spit flies down his chin*
Mom: Are you being funny? You are a silly boy.
Cadence: Silly boy. You're a silly boy, Kory. (while sticking his face in Kory's or trying to tickle him)
Kory: *Intense grin*
(Resume previous activities and repeat 5 minutes later)

Scene 5: Prayer
Mommy: Cadence, don't forget to say your prayer before you eat your sandwich
Cadence: Mommy say it
M: No, you should say it. It's your lunch
C: Dear Heavenly Father, thank for this day, Christ, Amen. OR the most recent variation is
C: Dear Heavenly Father, thank for this day, thank you Daddy's home, Christ, Amen.
M: (pressing forward in trying to teach a meaningful prayer) Thank you for this food.
C: Thank you, food.
M: Please bless it.
C: Bless it.
M: In the name
C: Name
M: of Jesus Christ
C: Jesus Christ
M & C: Amen!

He's so funny. You really never know what he'll pray for, but it's usually the first variation. Probably because prayer comes at uncomfortable times - during hunger, or fatigue. That's would be an interesting study...

Speaking of prayer...and fatigue... Goodnight!
