Super Why!
(Chance's expression is because he didn't want me to take a picture.)
If you watch PBS with your kids, you may have seen Super Why! It's a cartoon about superheros who are learning to read, and the boys love it! So you can imagine how excited they were when I found 2 free podcasts! Here's the link. Enjoy!
The Hughes Family visits
So, I'm reaching out a bit and starting to blog about other people. We love it when we have friends visit, but I rarely blog about it because I figure they may be as uncomfortable as I am about having their picture up on my blog... But no more! We think our friends are beautiful, so they'll have to be ok with that, ha! ;) (Disclaimer - I would always remove any unflattering photo upon request, promise.)
So last week our friends Veronica and Josh came to visit with their two boys, Caleb and Ben. Caleb and Ben are exactly 9 months younger than Charlie and Chance. Luckily they broke the curse (or should I say blessing?) when Chandler was born. Although Veronica catches herself looking for their (imaginary) third child, so maybe Chandler will have a playmate someday! Right, V?
Here's their youngest, Benjamin:
Isn't he a doll?!
And here are the big boys, waiting on lunch to arrive:
Charlie LOVES it when he gets to see Caleb.
And the boys joined in as Josh tried out the Wii Fit:
Josh & Veronica: Sorry I didn't get a group shot (I REALLY need to get better at that!). But thanks so much for coming to see us!! We love you guys!

When I tell him "No"
When I told Charlie "No" as a toddler...he would throw himself down and hit his head on the floor.
When I told Chance "No" as a toddler...he would wail.
When I tell Chandler "No", I get this expression:
and this expression:
And no lie, I told him "No" today, he looked me straight in the eye, and did this:

Icky Feeling
The other day Charlie said:
Mommy, did you know God gives you an icky feeling?
So, I asked for further explanation.
"You know, when I was 3 (all time is now told in his years, since he has so many under his belt now, ha!)...I was in the car and God gave me an icky feeling. Because I knew I had been bad for you, and had bit Chance. So I had an icky feeling in my tummy."
So we talked about having a conscience, and how God gives us that so we won't want to do bad or wrong things. But then he says:
"Yeah, but maybe it was because I ate something bad."
Yeah, maybe....
