friday's musings...

things i am loving about this week:

hearing finley call oliver jack "jack jack". it has been so long since any of us have called him the name harper gave him while inutero and it was a refreshing dose of nostalgia for this momma's heart.
harper and calvary's reluctance (well reluctance for harper and straight up refusal for calvary) to return to school after spring break.
calvary asking, "when will we have another week like that?".
oliver jack doting on finley. holding her hand in the car, lightly putting his hand on her back as she walks around the room, pretending like she is faster than him when they race, and looking after her in nursery at church are just a few of my favorites.
finley sleeping in a big girl bed without a huge ordeal...never thought it would happen.
harper. i woke up this morning just completely in love with this girl...i am thankful for a renewed awareness for just how much i love her.
kyle hunting for bargain books for harper. i love that he makes special trips just to find her books.
harper's claim that she has read every book in our house. we have LOTS and LOTS of books. LOTS.
calvary's star wars sticker book that he works on at night in his bed.
finley's dancing.
overhearing harper and calvary talking about the healing of the blind man while swinging at the park.
calvary's overall disgust of jesus putting spitty mud in the man's eyes.
finley's hair in pig tails.
watching finley bounce on the trampoline...love that she thinks she is jumping and two feet never leave the ground at the same time.
calvary's love for spinach leaves...raw.
oliver jack telling me or kyle or harper or finley or calvary that he loves us randomly many times a day.
oliver jack walking around talking about his new favorite weapon, "the cat with nine tails"...i hope he got more from the story than this.
having chloe and emmi come to play for a couple of days of their spring break...getting to take them to eat lunch with harper and calvary.
fun projects to do with my cricut.
painting again...i haven't painted in probably close to 5 years. fun to have a project to work on that makes me get everything out and dusted.

Harper-isms

"sorry; i was having technical difficulties." (harper's explanation of why it took her so long in the bathroom. apparently her stall was out of toilet paper and she had to crawl under the neighboring stall and get some.)
"i haven't seen one of those in years!" (harper's reaction to seeing a man smoking a pipe outside of a store the other day)
"she is a gallon of milk and 2 inches." (harper explaining how big her baby is.)
"yea we couldn't find milk here because you can't buy milk in places that have carpet." (harper explaining to kyle why he couldn't buy milk at the dollar store...never thought about it before, but so true...)
"tell him to get us something to drink." (harper's request when kyle was playing with the voice activated controls in the car)
"i am working on some work over here and it is like...death."
"when i grow up i want to get a job first, then get married, and then have a baby. then i will quit working and make my husband get a job. but i don't want a *real* job. i just want to *teach* or something..."
"he is not my boyfriend or my friend anymore because he smiles at me *every* minute and it is so aggravating."
"that is exactly why you do not let go of a child in the ocean!" (harper after a wave went over her head)
"my hoof is coming off the back of my shoe."
"paint folish" (sadly this one is no longer used...harper can now correctly say nail polish but i felt the need to record this so we did not forget.)
"God did not send Jesus for us...he sent Jesus to a dying cross...what kind of daddy would do that?!"
"well when they were first born they were krack babies." ( harper explaining that two brothers [the kratt brothers] were once babies)
"does jack jack have any sense of humor?" ( a completely out-of-the-blue question by harper)
"the sun is in my shirt." (harper explaining to me that she did not need to wear her sweater because she was too warm.)
"i learned something today. pinecones do NOT taste good."
"read to me about the god of israel."
"mommy what does this say?" (me) "gooliopeel?" (harper) "yep, that is french for pickle."
"alas, i shall perish without it"
"you smell like poop....seriously" (harper's comment to kyle after a long day at work :)
"I've been sick for 40 days and 40 nights!"
"Look at all that road!" (harper describing a local housing development)
"Let's just hug forever."
"My mommy is not pretty!" (harper's response to my students' continued comments on how i looked that evening...any warm feelings they brought were turned biting cold with her exclamation!)
"I want to get a present for Katie so that Dad can take it to her in heaven."
"Boys do not have hearts!" ( when i told Harper that she broke Kyle's heart )
"Calvary has goop" ( her explanation of Calvary's croup)
"I love cheating" (she thinks cheating is icing because Kyle told her "that's cheating" when she kept sticking her finger in the icing.)

Calvary-isms

"i miss harper already" (calvary when we drop harper off and we are not even out of the parking lot yet)
"cows only have 1 boobie...but they have LOTS of squeezers!"
"mom we need to get a shack for our house" (calvary's interpretation of a shed)
"that's not daddy. that's an old man!" (calvary insulting a slightly older man at the grocery store)
"i might fall and break my crown!" (or any variation of assorted people and moments falling and breaking their "crown")
"oh boogers!" (likens to most people saying 'oh man!')
"poof! what do you need?" ( a perfectly timed aladdin reference when i called his name)
"soup is hard to catch"
"look! i found a grandaddy big legs!"
"i'm not freezing" (calvary's response when he does not have to go potty...were still trying to figure out what "freezing" means)
"is that movie epic?"
"(in a whiney voice) i need teamwork!"
"i wanted to decoration it"
"i could do that all day" (calvary's way of saying that he likes something)
"the lady in the sky said something about broccoli!" (calvary at the grocery store)
"daddy, this car doesn't have anywhere to 'err'!" (kyle was playing cars and making sound effects for cars stopping in a garage"
"i want to have a napover."
"you're my sweetie pie, mommy"
"i got under-way-er"
"its fine." ( his response when he breaks anything....)
"just nothing."
"It's spicy!" (in regards to his bottom being wiped when he has a diaper rash")
"I want to play in the water hose" ( said about any body of water, namely pools)
"Oh Man!""
"i have a headache" ( said as he rubs his forehead at dinner one night )
"you stinky!" (a little girl told her mother that she didn't like calvary because he was a little boy and i said 'don't worry about it calvary. she is just a stinkin' girl. calvary then turned and shouted this laughing at the little girl!)
"I happy!"
"Where sissy go!?" (calvary's response any time that harper is not nearby)
"I Man-Truck" (his new response when you ask if he is a baby...)
"I Man" ( when i asked where my baby boy was, he responded with this )

Oliver Jack-isms

"don't you think upstairs is messy?" (his not so subtle hint that we need to clean up the playroom)
"thorns are good fighters."
"you can either get me batteries for my leap pad or get me and ipod like harper and calvary" (an example of oliver jack's new understanding of bargaining and ultimatums)
"actually..."
"nevermind"
