Things That Make Me Smile 9/14/12

Happy Friday! I am so excited about fall coming. It's my favorite season of the year and my favorite baking season as well. Apples. Pumpkins. Cinnamon. Nutmeg. Cardamom. Doughnuts. Cider. Hot chocolate. Aaaah, fall. I smile just thinking about it!

Here are many more smiles from this week.


1. Alyssa, dreamily: "I fell in love with Tyler." 

2. Jake: "In hopscotch, what if somebody throws their stone passed 10?" 

3. Alyssa, while making beaded necklaces: "It's ok if you make it pretty. I love pretty." 

4. Alyssa, while praying: ". . . the end." 
Jake: "You mean amen."
Alyssa: "Right. Amen."

5. Alyssa, yelling: "Zac! Give it back!"
Zac: {runs away}
Me: "Zac, did you take that from her?"
Zac: "No."
Me: "Look at me."
Zac: {looks at my arm}
Me: "No, look at my eyes. Did you take that from her?"
Zac: "Uh . . . nnn . . . ummm. Yes."

6. Alyssa: "If ever I have a baby, I'm going to name it Moses."

7. Celebrating National Chocolate Milkshake Day.  



8. Jake, after listening to a description in a book: "Ok, I pictured it. In black and white, too. I can also do it in movie and cartoon."
 
9. Alyssa: "I love Tyler the most. And Jesus. I love them both the most."

10. Jake: "Mom, your breadsticks are better than the restaurants'. And I mean it."

11. Alyssa: "Tyler said thank you in real talk!" 

12. Zac: "May I have more cheese?"
Me: "More cheese?"
Zac: "Yes. I have the power to eat a lot. And to be the fasterest."

13. Me: "Why is Alyssa emptying the dishwasher?" (Jake's chore)
Jake, smirking: "I dared her."

It's ok. She got him back. She dared him to "wear girl clothes." He went and put on one of her fancy dresses. No, I did not include a picture here because I know he would never forgive me when he's older. 

14. Helpers.

15. Celebrating Scooby-Doo's birthday

16. Jake: "One is not very many, and zero is even less."

17. While talking about fairy tales with the kids . . .
Me: "Daddy's my prince."
Jake: "Daddy is not a prince."
Me: "Why not?"
Jake: "He doesn't have royal blood."
Me: "Hmm, if he's not my prince, then what is he?"
Jake: "He's just 1 piece of your heart. You need to find 4 more people to love and your heart will be full."



What made you smile this week???

  1. My baby is starting to say "thank you" in real talk, too.
    How precious to count those among their first words, eh? :)
    Blessings on your sweet family!

    1. Aw, how fun! My baby is only 5 months, so I'm pretty sure he wasn't really saying it. ;) It was a sweet exchange of coos though. :)
