I know I’ve explained this before.. but #3 and 3.5 are 16 hours apart, but were born at different hospitals from different parents.  Yet by some fantastic blessing they are sisters and we love them both.

Here are a couple of pictures showing how hard it was just getting them to blow out their candles.

 I've been taking Christmas pictures of my children since well.. I've had them. The other night #6 brought me an 8 year old Christmas photo and was VERY VERY sad.  You know sobbing with the lip out sad.

I asked him what was wrong, and he told me; "I'm not in this picture. Where am I mommy?"

I did the best I could explaining to a 3 year old where he was 8 years ago, and he demanded that I somehow put him in the picture. 

I asked him why he wanted to be in the picture, and you know what that sweet little muffin said?  "I just love my fambly (family) and I want to be with them."  That warms my heart. 🙂

#6's crib is in The Man and my bedroom. I've always had the babies (when they were babies) sleep close to us.  If you follow me on Instagram you'd know that I sometimes take photos of my children when they can't sleep. Last night #6 would not go to sleep..

So we watched a little Seinfeld…

Then his sweet sister #3 came in to talk (like she sometimes does). #6 asked her to "peassse get in the bed wit me Aheee."  Being the good sister she is, she did.  I fell asleep thinking she went up to her room, when I got up later to check on him, this is what I saw.

When I woke up here's what I saw:

This totally cracks me up, and is quite possibly the sweetest thing ever. Sometimes I feel sorry for my other children, because they didn't have as MANY people to love on them as #6 does everyday.

Listening:   My children are all busy doing school stuff.  Currently they are kind of quiet.  #6 is running around in the new shoes I bought him say; "I wanna go outsidddeeee! Peeese Mommy?"

Loving: That #6 is an EXCELLENT communicator.  He is ALWAYS talking, ALWAYS learning. It makes my heart smile.

 Thinking:  I have entirely TOO MUCH stuff to write down/correct before the first of September.  I'm reading this super cool book on confirmation… and I want to change some of the curriculum I wrote for confirmation to include the stuff I just read.  I also have the after school program curriculum to finish, a sermon to write for September 29th, and PowerPoints to finish for September's Youth Group.

Wanting: To go to Longhorn with the man.

Needing:  To plan my meals for this weekend and the upcoming week.  Figure out what kind of cake #3 wants for her birthday Tuesday and what kind #3.5 wants for her birthday Wednesday.

Stalking: I'm embarrassed to say it, but Candy Crush Saga level 144… don't think less of me 😉
