Precious Moments

I hate to sound too braggy about my kids...but, I am their biggest fan. So, just to keep from sounding too proud, Case is sneaky and does naughty things behind your back and Madi can be so bossy and demanding (and not in a nice way). But, they are wonderful and here is just something cute I have noticed about each of them lately...
Case is my pleaser...he wants everyone to like the things that he likes and do them exactly the same. For example: we give our kids Flintstones Vitamins every morning. I pour a whole bunch of them into my hand so they can pick which one they want. Case always makes Madison pick first, because he wants to pick the same color that she does. If he does not see which one she picked, he will ask me and then pick the same one. I just think that is cute.
Madison loves routine...ever since school started, we have been on more of a routine. We try to get the kids in bed early so Case can be rested for school. Last night we told the kids that it was time for bed and started shuffling them off toward their rooms. Madi looks up at us and says "prayer time". We had forgotten to say family prayer before bed. I am so grateful that she keeps us in check.
Wes is a good game player...yes, I decided to say something nice about Wes too. He and I played a game of Triominoes while we were up at the cabin over the weekend and he beat me by a long way. I love to play games and usually win, but I got whomped. Then yesterday the Candyland game came out and after many games, he is undefeated. Not only that, but Case always came in second. My gaming ego is a little down, but I am thinking of suggesting a game of Monopoly tonight.

I hope the reason you haven't blogged in so long is because you are totally engrossed in Twilight! Are you coming to Book Club tonight???

Jill, that's so cute! I remember how competitive you are at games! Good luck at selling your house, it is so hard to keep it clean everytime you leave!
