Seth:
"We made some great contraptions. Gabe's gonna faint when he sees them! He's gonna be so impressed."
He loves doing experiments, which translates to mess. This boy does everything big, it's just his personality. One of his experiments involved mixing water, oil, some spices and probably other things I'm not even aware of that he stole from the kitchen. I walk into the bathroom and he says, "Look, mom. The oil binds together just like a magnet. I love doing experiences (that's what he calls experiments). Man, the girls are all gonna want to marry me. Girls love this stuff."
"This is made with love in every stitch." (He had made some creation for me, one that had nothing to do with sewing, though)
Josie:
"Hey, mommy, do you want to watch a movie...the one where he says, 'Today is a new day!'? It's really exciting." (Referring to Chicken Little)
"Mommy, can you tell me that story about when I was born at the hospital?"
"Oh, mommy. I love you SO much. You're my bestest girl ever."
"Oops, I did not ask for permission." (After I found her standing on the counter trying to look for treats.)
"Does Cooper love God?" (Funny sidenote...I was able to say yes, because when Seth was three, I overheard him witnessing to Cooper. He was very serious about it, and my favorite part of his speech was when he said to the dog, "Jesus loves you so much. He been nailed to the cross." The next day he put a cross necklace on Cooper because, "now Cooper knows about Jesus.")
"I wish we could get rid of Seth." (After a little disagreement)
"Let's get Cooper a bone. He will be so thrilled!"
Josie had left half of her granola bar on the table, and while she was gone Cooper jumped up and ate it. She was not happy, and gave him a piece of her mind. Her last words were, "You selfish guy!"
She handed me a spatula and said, "Here, mommy, in case anyone talks back or says stupid, or butt, or penis." (Wow)
She comes out of her room and says, "I need some binegard (vinegar) for my babies. They said stupid, I mean butts." (She loves to try to sneak in all the words she knows she is not allowed to say).
Gabe:
"Why did Cooper run away? Do you think he just wanted to explore the world?"
"Nope. I looked in her stool and there was nothing in it. No damage." (He checked to see if Josie had gone potty in her stool)
"Man, I really miss Jo-Jo." (She was with my mom and step-dad overnight, and he could barely stand it)
"You've got a great smile, Josie."
When we were in St. Louis, Nile had to do a lot of work as far as loading and packing the van, etc. Nile had gone out to get another load of stuff and Gabe said, "Mom, I sure wish we had another guy around here to help Dad. He has to do all the work. He packs the van and unloads it, he carries lots more stuff than anyone else, he let us have a dog, he works hard to make money so our family can have a house and food, he plays with us a lot. Those are all things a good shepherd would do." (I was so encouraged that he notices that kind of stuff)
