It was so hilarious and kind of sad tonight after dinner. I went to make the kids favorite Amish Sugar cookies and realized I was out of oil. If you know anything about Amish baking, you know you HAVE to have plenty of sugar and oil on hand. They don't mess around when it comes to those ingredients. lol Asher was so excited to help me bake them (it was finally his turn to help). But he took the disappointment pretty well. He just stood in the chair at the bar and said, "well Mama, it's ok. . .you can just make something else." The body language he used was just too much for me and I just busted out laughing. It was so precious! Allen and I just looked at each other and laughed. Asher is such a character. He is so full of life and puts an emphasis on everything. I love his personality!
Also tonight, he was sitting at the dinner table waiting on everyone to gather around and he just out of the blue said, "A lot of people died. . . lots of people on Avatar. Lots and lots of the blue people, Mama." He said it so calmly and so randomly. I just cracked up. Allen was in the bathroom helping Noah, so he missed it. It reminded me of the "tv's fake story" my in-laws tell about Troy (Allen's youngest brother). It was just so random. Noah has started doing that too. He will just blurt things out at random moments. Amber (our sister-in-law) and I were talking one day and Noah just comes up and blurts out. . ."I two!!" Then later that same evening, he gets in Amber's face and said, "I went pee two times!" Amber and I just looked at each other and laughed. She was a bit embarrassed, but I just shook my head and just laughed. These boys are so silly. I love their little sayings and thoughts. The mind of a child is so unfiltered and honest. I wish I could be more like that at times. They are just straight forward and so open about how they feel. What a wonderful notion!
Well, today was a typical Monday. Nothing too exciting to report. I had all my house work done before noon, so the rest of the day we just enjoyed each other and watched cartoons and played playdoh. I forgot how much I love days like this. No hustle and craziness. Just good quality time. Allen was suppose to go to a soccer board meeting tonight, but he decided to stay with us instead. I love that winter days keep us all in the house together. They make me love and appreciate staying at home. It was a good day!
