Elephant

I had an elephant
That pooped and pooped and pooped
I got rid of it and it came back and it
Pooped and pooped and pooped

Blankets

I got a blanket and poked a hole in it.
The feathers flew away.
I got another one and it did the same thing.
And then I got another one and mommy poked a hole in it.
The end

Cleaning methodology by gender

Today, Maggie insisted on taking her doll and stroller to the park with us. She kept us updated along the walk as to the baby’s status. As we started home, the baby had a situation wherein she puked on herself. “oh no, guys,” Maggie solemnly announced. “baby threw up on herself.” I asked if we needed to stop and clean her up. Tommy quickly offered his services. “I have a blower thing,” (making big sweeping motions with his arms). I’ll clean ‘er up!”

He really is this sweet

This morning after spanish class, (which went great) Maggie was screaming in the car bc I wouldn’t give her my phone so he handed her his toy. I said he shouldn’t give her stuff just bc she was screaming and he said “that’s ok. I love Maggie more than I love my toys.” I’m about to bawl now just thinking about it.
Then after class Mary came over with two of her kids and when they got ready to leave, Rowan came down carrying an arm load of toys tommy had given him. Including some he really likes and plays w a lot. Mary said “how about if we bring them back next week?” t said “you can if you want but I’m giving them to him.” I am still about to cry.

Maggie on love, hair, naps and sprinkles

Maggie: I love you so much. I don’t ever want you to cry. I don’t want you teeth to cry.

Why do I have feathers on my arm?

Saki said she could take a nap on the couch today. Her eyes got big and she said “this is gonna be AWEsome!”

I bought a box of chocolate sprinkles and Maggie was helping me open it. She got excited that it had a little pour spout like a malt o meal box. She said “it’s a shortcut!”

Tommy is sitting in the service with me and he heard the preacher say his memory verse we were working on this week but he said “he said it different!” (different version) I couldn’t believe he caught it at all. His first words to me this morning were that he thought I was pretty.
