The Cute Things They Say and Do!

I have been meaning to document some of the adorable things that the kiddos have said and done recently, but other things have taken priority over that post.  Not today.  I really want to have it written down so that I can look back when I am feeling particularly nostalgic. =)

• When Oliver was just a few weeks old, Maggie was laying on the floor beside him and chatting with him.  She did (and does) that all the time.  I overheard her say the cutest unintentional compliment to our family.  She said (in her high-pitched baby voice), "Oliver, you are going to LOVE living in this house with this family!"  I think I literally felt my heart swell to ten times it's normal size.  I am so thankful that she loves living in this house with this family.

• About a month ago, Kerri Grace told me a lie.  So, I sat her down and we talked about what it is to tell the truth verses lying.  We talked about how Jesus tells us in the Bible that we should not lie and that we should obey our parents.  We also talked about how Jesus loves us even though we do things that are sinful.  Kerri Grace asked, "Mommy do you love me when I lie?"  My response was, " I love you when you lie.  You could never do or not do anything that would make me not love you."  Kerri Grace thought for a moment, and said, "Mommy, I love you when I lie, too."  So funny!    

• Recently, Oliver has gotten even more social and affectionate with his family.  Well, we aren't the only ones.  Last Sunday, I went to check on Oliver in the nursery. (We worship first service and serve second, so it makes for a really long Sunday morning in the nursery.)  He had the sweet lady's face cupped in his hands and was giving her the most slobbery kisses known to man!  Cute, cute!  By the way, I told her that she didn't have to let him do that, but she assured me that she loved it.  

Here are a few of the everyday clever, creative, and silly things that they have done...

We met Eliza and Taylor at the splash pad for a little bit of cool entertainment.

The girls put on a Rock Concert for Oliver and me!  I have to say that many of the songs sounded similar to Barbie rock songs.

Daddy had a little pajama wrestling match with the girls (and Oliver)!
