Favorite Conversations from the Day...

I love watching my girls process information and use their imaginations...a few favorite conversations from today....

The girls and I were reading a story about Creation from a little kid's Bible before dinner...and I asked them if they had to set a fishbowl up for fish, what would they put in it? 

Ava:  "rocks, seaweed, a little castle, fish."  - hers what you would expect when it comes to fishbowls.

Katelyn's answer..."Butterflies".  :-) 

Love it!

Then later at dinner...Ava asked me..."mom...if there's only one God, how can He fit into every one's heart?"  I told her that He is a big God and just like He had the power to create the earth - He has the ability to fit into every one's heart.  I don't know if she quite grasped the answer (it's even hard for me sometimes!)...but I love that she's thinking:-)

And now for Livvy Lou...she can't hold a conversation yet like her bigger sisters...but when her sisters started singing "jump shake Olivia, jump, jump shake Olivia" tonight - she started shaking her head like crazy and trying to jump.  She looked like a baby who had just drank 10 cups of coffee.  It was hilarious.  I think she may be our crazy one!

Happy Monday!

Ava's First Day of Kindergarten!

Image
Ava woke up and looked at me with her big brown eyes and asked..."is today the day I get to ride the bus to school?" She beamed when I said yes. Her countdown finally complete! Good nights sleep. Lunch made. Bag packed. Favorite dress from Grammy on. Favorite shoes from Grandma - check.  Breakfast eaten. Hair brushed. Eager kindergartner - check. Hugs for sisters.  And for Mom, Dad & Grandma too.  Ready to take on her first day of kindergarten.  I have never seen a little girl more eager to hurry down to the bus stop and determined to climb bus steps.  I barely got that hug!  I have always envisioned her first day of school to be harmonious - taking our time eating breakfast together, strolling leisurely down to the bus stop - lots of room for photo ops.  Harmonious?  3 under the age of 6...it was more of a pleasant frenzy...and went by faster than I would have liked! I am not going to pretend and say I wasn't a wee bit sad...I think the fast morning was a bit

Funny Kate.

I never knew what people were talking about..."terrible two's" when Ava was two/three (and before I write any more...I'm going to preface this...I absolutely love all my girls for their unique growth and personalities...they all bring me joy in different ways. I wouldn't change a single thing about any of them). If we told Ava "no" or not to touch something or do something...generally...she listened and followed through. Sweet little Kate however is very different. She is curious, determined differently than Ava, and knows what she wants. I could tell her 100 times not to do something, and she'll still do it. I never trust her alone...if she's quiet I know she's up to something (and she usually knows she's up to something too as she hides...but continues to do it anyways). This has all been challenging to say the very least, but consistency has been key, and we're working through it! Combine normal two year old antics with a wit that

Words...

...Can't describe how much I love to hear my little munchkins speak their first words. Kate's been speaking new words every day...sentences (her favorite..."I got you"...followed by a cheeky grin and laugh). It really is one my favorite things about being a mom...watching them learn new things, speak new words, do new things. Not much can compare. Even Ava's 50 billion questions in a row..."Mommy...how does the sun go down?" or "Daddy...how does it rain"...followed by 50 more "why's" and "how's". I don't think I could ever get tired of that! We snapped a quick movie of Kate's speaking her word for Grandpa..."Pee-paw". Yes...she calls him "Pee-paw".
