The 2 year old, BigMan, at the top of his lungs – “Mama come wipe me!!”
From ThePrincess all the time – “Rub my feet, scratch my back.”
From BigMan upon being told not to touch his t.t. (you know since he’s naked all.the.time.now) – “NO! I not has a t.t.!”
TheOldest on turning 8 – “It doesn’t feel like it’s been 8 years. It feels more like it’s only been 3.”
Any time I get ready to leave the house, from BigMan – “I comin’ wis you!!”
Every single day for the last 2 months from ThePrincess – “Mama, your belly is gettin’ bigger and bigger and bigger.”
From BigMan – “The new baby is comin’ out.. comin’ out.. in just a minute.”
TheOldest while helping me fold the newest baby’s clothes – “I can’t wait to raise this baby. I can’t wait to be his big brother.”
TheMiddlest upon all of us arriving home after 8 hours away – “It smells good in here. It smells like home. It looks like home. It feels like home. And there are lots of cuddly people here just like home.”

WHAT IS IT ABOUT GIRLS & THEIR BACK, LAUREN IS FOREVER WANTING ME TO RUB HER BACK!! WHAT YOU HEAR IS BETTER THAT WHAT LAUREN’S NEW THING IS…
“MOMMA I AM FIXING TO PANTS YOU!” THEN I GET UP TO GO TO THE KITCHEN & FORGET ABOUT IT, THEN MY SHORTS HIT THE FLOOR….. I JUST MAY HURT HER!!!
LOVE this post! You have beautiful children inside and out!
That little thing just must be irresistible to a little naked guy. I know it is for my little man! (yikes)
Your quotes are all precious. Like a snapshot of life.
The first two requests are echos of the past – of their mama.
i know, Matt says she’s so her mama’s girl – “squeeze my feet and scratch my back” are still frequent requests from me!
