tired

I don't think I have ever been this tired. All day my eyeballs hurt. Coffee isn't strong enough. It's this sweet little face that is keeping me up. She's lucky she is so sweet.

Sick

It's 10:00 pm and i'm just heading upstairs for my shower. Today was filled with snot, coughing, and diarrhea. Luckily none of those things came from me or my day would have been even worse! With the wonderful fall weather also comes the sickness I suppose. I am praying tomorrow will be better! This is the face I got pretty much all day today.

Caelan's Prayer

Dear God, Thank you for going to church. Thank you for Isaiah, Micaiah, Ezra, Evan um um Isaiah. Thank you, God, for listening. Thank you God, Amen.

Mom you're pretty. Can I have a snuggle?

One, it's crazy when I write down exactly what he said and seeing that he is talking so much and well! Two, he is just the sweetest thing in the world. Three, how could I ever say no to that last question?

Also, I'm pretty impressed that he got 4 out of the 5 Wise children's names.

The house to ourself!

So we have had a few nights with the house all to ourself and it has been great! I forgot what is was like to get ready for bed with the lights on and be able to talk in a normal voice to my husband about our days. Caelan has been doing great in his new room. Last night he was scared of some shadows but he has been sleeping so much better. Adelaide is working on sleeping better.... Last night she went to sleep on her great and slept great for two hours! :( I am hopeful that each day will be better. At least she is going to sleep on her own now and it can only get better from here.

I told Caelan that today was the international day of peace. His response was "like piece of pizza?"

our own room?

Nathan and I will finally get to have our own room! Nick moved out yesterday and tonight is heather's last night! The kids will each have their own room and we can't wait. They haven't been sleeping very good and I am sooooo hopefully that a week in their own rooms will do the trick. I am also very excited to decorated Laidy's room! I have lots of ideas and not much time to do things like sew and crafts so we will see what actually happens and how long it takes.

Caelan's quotes

"I have a big rock in my leg!" (referring to his knee cap)

When asked if he was a big boy or a little boy he said, "I'm just a dude"

He handed Nathan a frisbee and told him to sleep on it and when Nathan followed his directions Caelan laughed at him and said, "That's a frisbee, Crazy!"

Whenever I tell him not to do something he almost always responds, "But I have to mom."

He was playing at Grace's house the other day and in the middle of playing he closed his eyes and said, "Thank you God for Grace's house. Amen." and went about playing

I should be doing this at the end of every day because he has so many sweet things. He is such a sweet smart boy and I love him!

started saying "yes"

Usually when I am at the grocery store and they ask if I need help out I say "no thanks". But I just started saying "YES!" It has been amazing. Now by the time I have both kids in the car the groceries are in to. It's so wonderful. I don't know why I never accepted before. All moms should get help out to the car. It's amazing!
