Funny everyday...really...nearly every single day.

People sometimes ask me what it is like to have 3 kids (though many of you reading never ask me that because you know)! My response is generally...chaos and funny all the time. There are very few days around here that we do not find something to laugh over.

So, this weekend we were having some friends over for dinner. Our friends were running a bit late, so we gave the kids their dinner and had plans to send them upstairs to play while we ate. Here is what happened during dinner.
So, Robbie took her upstairs. However, she woke up and was horribly fussy. Soon the crying stopped, our friends arrived, and Robbie came back downstairs to join us. We talked with our friends, made our plates, sat down together and prayed. After the prayer, Robbie had a look of panic and asked, "Where is Brooklyn"? Ummm...you took her upstairs...isn't she asleep?? Robbie said she was telling him she needed to potty. He helped her into the bathroom and then left her for some privacy. Not uncommon...this is what she is used to with potty time...but she never called us back in to help her finish up. Here is what we found upstairs.Yes, she is asleep. Yes, she stayed asleep all night. Yes, she is going to detest this post when she is older. No, I have not figured out how to make her do this every night!
OK, one more Yes. Yes, I do still have 2 boys. I will photograph them again soon...B has just been particularly entertaining lately.
A funny from Will though...
We were doing a crossword puzzle together this afternoon. I was telling the boys the clues and they would shout out an answer. I give the clue "piece of furniture where you study". Will shouts out "couch"!! Love it. That's my style of homeschooling! However, his next answer made a tiny kleenex moment...
I give the clue "someone who helps sick people". Will shouts out "Jesus"! Yes sir. That is absolutely right...too bad the stupid crossword people think the answer is doctor.
Hope you have something that made you laugh today and every day!
