Hurry up fall!

As if trying to make the fall weather come sooner I have changed the look of our blog. I couldn't be more ready for soups, pumpkin pie, football season, leaves changing, hot chocolate, apple cider, cooler weather, etc. Did you notice that most of the things I get excited about are food?! I just love spending time in the kitchen in the fall after a summer of avoiding turning the oven on at all costs. I better watch it though. Saige told me yesterday that my tummy is getting so big (which would be fine for her to say if I was pregnant-but I am not). When I asked her why she said that she said, "because of all of the food you put in there"! I love that kids can be honest. Well, off to the gym...

Road Map to Heaven

Today we were coloring and Madi said, "Mom, come and look at my picture." When I asked her what it was she said, "It's the road to Heaven"!

I am so glad to finally have a map to heaven! I have often wondered where it is and how to get there. The only problem is that it looks a bit complicated and I may get lost along the way. Guess I better get started on the long journey. I have posted a picture in case any of you need the map too!

Freckles Anyone?

When Madi woke up this morning and crawled into bed with me, she mentioned how many freckles I had on my arms, face, and everywhere else! I was tired and didn't respond. Then she said, "you should give some to some other kids". I said, "what?" She replied, "you have so many, you should share some!"
Believe me-I would if I could. Anyone want a few of my freckles? I have been humbled and am now willing to share!

Madisen still had a fever this morning so I kept her home from school. She was so sad to have to stay home-especially when we dropped Saige off. When Saige got home and we were done with lunch Saige said, "I have a good idea mom. Why don't you and Madi lay down on her bed and have a little rest and I will lay on my bed and be very quiet and not talk while you guys sleep?" I couldn't believe that she was offering to go lay down on her bed. It didn't work out quite like she had planned. She was the first one asleep-quickly followed by her sister. I think it is safe to say that I have some sick girls on my hands. They have never before offered to take a nap.

One other funny thing-Laurel asked her at preschool if she had fun camping. She said, "we had fun but mom didn't go. She was on a break!" Well said Saige!
