Role Playing

I had to take all four kids to the doctor's office the other day. We were in the waiting room when the kids decided to start bickering.We had recently had a lesson about being a "Peace maker". I told Brady to stop provoking his sisters. He needed to be a peace maker.
He responded, "I shouldn't be a provoker, (it didn't sound exactly like that word, but that was what he was trying to say), because that is what Satan wants, right?"
Me: "Right"
Brady: "Heavenly Father wants me to be a peace maker, right?"
Me: "Right."
(Here is where he starts talking very loudly.)
Brady: "Hey, Sadie! Let's pretend you are Satan! You try to provoke me and I will be a peace maker. I can be Heavenly Father. Did you hear me Sadie?? (Still yelling.) You be Satan!"

I can't even imagine what thoughts were going through the minds of those people waiting in the waiting room with us.

Liar, Liar

Brady has recently taken up the habit of lying. His stories get quite colorful. On Sunday he was told to take his church clothes off as soon as he got home and change in to play clothes. He changed and went to play with his sisters. An hour later we noticed that he has changed his clothes again.
Sean asked, "Brady, did you wet your pants?"
Brady: "No, dad"
Sean: "Then why did you change your clothes again?"
Brady: "I realized that while we were at church Pepper, (the dog), came upstairs and peed on my pants. I needed to change them."
Sean: "The dog peed your pants?"
Brady: "Yes."

Bilingual

Brady: "Mom, how do you say 'yes' in English?"

Easter Sunday

Yes, this post is late as well. Things have been busy and I have been sleep deprived!

Back to March

These pictures were taken in March of the four kids together. I have been busy holding, feeding, changing, feeding, and kissing a baby to post it.

Sharing

Sadie recently wrote a little book at school, complete with illustrations. It was entitled, "Sharing".
She listed a few things that were nice to share with others. She concluded the book by saying that there are some things that you shouldn't share.
"You shouldn't share your underwear or your head, because that is gross."

Learning What That Means

Me: "Brady, please pick up those things that you dropped."
Brady: "Sorry, Mom. No can do."
