Months~


Ok, months are flying by now forget the days. Another one gone and I've posted once. I think between Relief Society, kids, husband, work, working out, and life, I'm a little busy. But that is no excuse! Better posting for March! I promise....
Photo: There has been time for a parade though, this is Dylan and Sophie's parade. Sophie lined up all of her stuffed animals for the "spectators" and Dylan drove his cars around that he had decorated to be the "floats". At least they entertain us right?

Nice~

I don't know if it's because we are in the month of love but I had an interesting conversation with the kids tonight over hot chocolate.
Dylan: Mom why do boys HAVE to be nice to girls and do things for them?
Mom: Well boys are supposed to be nice to girls.
Dylan: But why?
Sophie: Because girls are the best!
Mom: Boys are good too.
Dylan: But why do you have to do things for them?
Mom: Well because it's nice to do things for others.
Sophie: Like I feel proud of myself when I give someone something that I was playing with.
Mom: Yes! It's great to feel good inside isn't it...
Dylan: But I understand that boys are stronger and can reach things girls can't but why do you have to do things for them?
Mom: You just do....You know how happy it makes me when daddy does all of the laundry.
Sophie: Nodding..
Dylan: Smiling..
Mom: When someone does something nice for you and then it makes you want to do something nice to someone else.
Dylan: Like when I had to bend down and reach the baby wipes underneath the bed for you because when girls get older like you they can't bend down and reach things.
Mom: (thinking) Poor boy he has to live with a mom that has RA that doesn't want to bend down and I call on him all the time to get things for me. Should I stop calling on him so much? No! It will make him a great husband....(done thinking)
Mom: Yes that's right, it makes you feel good doesn't it?
Sophie: Loud Burp!
Mom: Laughing!
Dylan: Laughing and rolling!
Mom: It's bedtime!
