Rain is Special

As we were falling asleep the other night, Hazel was quizzing me about the seasons, the weather, asking me, "In which season does it snow?  What season has Christmas?  What season do we swim in?"
I answered her with the appropriate season each time.  Finally she asked me which season rain fell in.  I told her that is rained in EVERY season!  She thought for a minute then said,

"Rain is very special, it is like a beautiful jewel that falls from the sky and waters the flowers

Spring! Easter! and Birthdays...

Chocolate Pie Disaster...

Hazel was so cute about the chocolate pie we were going to have for Miriam's birthday.  She decided to carry it over to me, where I was changing Lucy's diaper, and let me know she thought is was ready to eat.  She said, "See Mommy, I hold it so carefully!"  Then all of a sudden chocolate pie everywhere, upside down on the carpet.  I quickly grabbed the pie, with my bare hands and flipped it back into the pie pan.  Only a little be of stain on the carpet to worry about.  Anxious to not make her feel too bad, I smiled and said, "It's OK Hazel, all cleaned up!"  She almost giggled as she said, "Yes, almost all cleaned up, except the pie on Lucy's head!" 

I laughed as I saw a big splat of chocolate pie on the top of Lucy's head.  We laughed as we wiped it up.  We better not let her taste it, I said or she will try to eat the whole pie!


Croaked...

Jared was very tired the other day, and he said, "If I have to lift one more thing I am going to croak"
Hazel looked at me and said, "What is croak?"
I said "It means you are so tired you can't move"
She replied, "Mom, I think Lucy is croaked!"

Chuckle chuckle :)

Miriam turned 6 this week and is super happy that her age matches up now with an "even" number :)

She sure is a sweet little girl, I can't believe we have had her for 6 years!  We love her personality, her smiles, her silly jokes, and her incredibly authentic British accent.  She and Jacob definitely have a touch of "Smith" humor. Tonight they could not stop laughing about how silly it would be if Easter Eggs had legs!  They went on and on about how they could jump out the the basket and run round, the basket should have legs too, and it ended with Lucy jumping up and chasing the eggs.  Jacob was laughing so hard his tummy hurt.
