What my kids have said...

There have been a lot of cute memories over these 9 years as parents and lots of adorable things my children have said, but here are a few that take the cake!

Madeline, when she was 2 we were on our way to the Norfolk Zoo . We'd bought some M&Ms fro the trip there. When we got there Keith was collecting all the trash and threw it all away. Madeline starting saying, " You threw away my letters!". We were clueless as to what that meant and assured her it was all trash and went on to enjoy the zoo. While we were there I kept thinking about what she meant by "her letters" and I figured out that she was referring to her m&ms. She called them letters 'cause of the m's on the candies.
She used to say "bading soup" for bathing suit and "peopop" for lollipop. She said "ca-cat" for our cat, Levi.
Madeline and Keith used to sing this song back and forth. He would sing "silly ol' goose is Maddy" she would sing back, "silly ol' goose is me" We loved it.
Greyson had a few. He would try really hard to convince us of things, anything he wanted. He would say, "we have to because we have to because we do" Keith still repeats it to him often and he shys down. It's cute.
He also loves to sing. He would sing out to any song in the car. We have a CD album, The Way My Story Goes by Jamie Soles. Great for children and parents. Songs about bible stories. Many that aren't mentioned often in church. But one song was about Noah and how he found grace in the Lord. Greyson would say. "Noah found "grapes" in the Lord, he believed."
Too cute!
Another, we were at my in-law's church and there was a sign on an entrance and Greyson started walking to a different door. We instructed him to come back that that was the door we were going in and he said, "It says Children Stay Out" We looked at the sign and we all laughed out loud. It actually said, "Children's Day Out". It was a sign for an outreach they had for children to be dropped off and watched while parent's shopped for Christmas.

Megan has a few. She's into pretending that things are lost. Her and Keith were home while Madeline, Greyson and Katherine went to muck the stalls. He and her played games and did puzzles and there's this song book she likes a lot. They were singing gaily and Megan points to the picture of Jesus in the book and says "Jesus is coming back." Keith is grinning with pride and he said to her "Where is He now?" Megan said, "He's lost!" Funny to be sure!
She also said "Lado" for water. It is always such fun listening to children learn to talk and enunciate. We also heard "foffe" instead of coffee.

What my kids have said have been a big highlight.
Katherine has some to come up with I'm sure, but she's still only 7mos. So there's still time. Our children have had such wonderful senses of humor. I've always prided when I walk through a store or anywhere with my children and we often get comments on how behaved and beautiful the children are.

I love being a mom!

All about Applemama

I'm a homeschool mother of 4 wonderful children. My girls are 11, 4 and 2. My only son is 8 and full of energy. We live in rural PA, and have 8 chickens, 5 rabbits, 3 cats, 3 ducks, and one mouse.

We were married here 11 years ago and moved off to FL - then to VA - and now back here after my husband's job was uprooted and not transplanted. He found a job to work in his field (at least somewhat) and we are taking a wonderful opportunity to move back to where we met. We have old friends here and enjoy reconnecting with the church where we were married. We love it and are making many new friends.
