Wesley Wednesday...

After church tonight I asked Wesley what he learned. He very excitedly said, "God loves you and me!"
I said, "He does? What about Jackson?"
Wesley said, "Weeellll, maybe a little bit." then he held his fingers really close to each other and said, "he loves him this little bit."

At Least They Are Getting Along...

I was about to lose my ever loving mind if one more morning I told the kids it was time to start school only to hear, "just let me finish this level"! I'm sure your kids all greet the beginning of the school day with great joy, but mine became even more reluctant once they were sucked into the world of TV or itouches. The principal and I decided that the new policy at Dodd Christian Academy would be NO electronics before 4:00. Thus school would be over and they shouldn't be a problem. When we made the announcement at last night's family meeting Ashton announced she was moving out, but they reluctantly handed them over and never once asked for them this morning. Instead of coming downstairs to the sight of kids vegged out in front of the TV I found all 4 kids working together to build a monster truck land. Let me repeat that in case you missed the most important part of my personal little mini-miracle: ALL 4 kids working TOGETHER!!! So now they begged me a for a few more minutes to finish their land but that is something I can agree to much more readily!

My favorite quote of the day...

While we were watching a movie Jackson said, "I sure hope Jackie Chan is a Christian so I can meet him in heaven one day and learn some moves." I love my sweet boy!

Good Old Peter Pan

This morning the boys came downstairs to see that it was snowing big, giant snow flakes. They were so excited! Then as usual they had funny commentary:
Will: "Peter Pan made it snow!"
Wesley (in a serious voice): "Yeah, Peter Pan and God."
Will: "Peter Pan is coming to our house!"
Wesley (in a sad voice): "Yeah, but not God. He can't fly :( "

Yes, I proceeded to explain that God is always with us, but maybe this week there should be a little more watching of "What's in the Bible with Buck Denver" and a little less "Jake and the Neverland Pirates"!

Don't Mess With Will...

If you mess with Will like Wesley did today when he threw his chocolate milk in the sink Will might say, "Mommy, Wesley makes the whole world stupid." Of course, since he can't really say some of the letters in that sentence I asked him to repeat himself (all the while hoping I didn't hear what I thought I'd heard, but no such luck!). He spoke a lot slower and included his arms open wide to make sure I understood "the whole world".

I said, "Why do you think Wesley makes the world stupid?"

Without missing a beat for even a second he said, "Because he scratches me, hits me, pushes me, and scratches me and pushes me!"

Oh well, I guess they can't love each other every minute :)

Wesley said...

Out of the blue Wesley walked up to Ashton and said, "Ashton, you and Taylor Swift are my 2 favorite girls!" and hugged her. He sure loves his sissy!
