A few twists in our day...

Today met us with a few twists...

Siah and Hal were playing on Siah's electric jeep out side and as Siah was trying to get out, he more like tripped out and fell flat on his face... It was the saddest moment ever! The poor little guy cried and cried... It was one of those reaaallllllllly bad ones.... I wonder how many scars he's going to have on his face by the time he's an adult... They seem to be adding up fast!!!


As you can see with the little smirk on his face... by dinner time his spirits were up and his joy was back...


A little bit better view of his "owies"... No, that's not paint on his nose... He fell flat on his nose and now it is just that red...

At dinner time, Siah threw another twist into our day... We were sitting around the table eating and telling jokes... a normal dinner time conversation...

Then Joey looked at Skyler and said, "you're so cute... where did you come from?"

And Siah so matter of factly answers the question for his Papa, "she came from mama's tummy Papa," he says.

But he didn't stop there... His curiosity got the best of him and he continued on, "How did Skyler get out of mommy's tummy??????"

And being the mature parents that we are... we look at each other and yep, you guessed it... we burst into laughter... both of us... the kind of laughter that we start to lose control... we were laughing so hard that the kids started to laugh with us... that fake laugh that they do when they want to be a part of something but they don't really know what's so funny... and our laughter lasted long enough for Siah to forget about his question... So we took the easy way out this time and decided that if he wasn't going to be persistent in his asking then we wouldn't go out of our way to do any explaining... :) That day will be here soon enough... This day we opted for the laughter instead.

What a day today was... :)

When we were taking a picture of Siah's face, Hal wanted her's taken too... So here she is... covered in meatloaf, mashed potatoes, broccoli and cauliflower...


If we took one of the other two treasures, we need one of Reesie too, right?


I'm soaking it all in... blessing upon blessing!!!
