Well the 3's are definitely an awesome age. They are just full of personality and this has been such a great year. Leah is sweet and sassy. That girl has att-i-tude! I am so looking forward to the teenage years with her since we already argue about what she's going to wear out in public....no Leah we cannot wear a bathing suit everywhere ;). Colin is my big helper. He apparently takes the being oldest by 3 minutes thing very seriously because he is such the "big" brother. He is a little bossy but more just in charge in general. He is my right hand man when daddy is working late especially with our foster baby who is now 11 months old. We are both potty trained. Colin wears a pull up at night but that's it - yay!!
We recently went to Disney World!!! Oh my gosh that was so awesome!! I can't wait to go back and the kids ask about it frequently. Definitely needed more time to see everything but we had a great time while we were there and it was also nice to enjoy some beach time after Disney. We bought a minivan (which I swore we'd never do) and took it on vacation and love it. Like literally cannot imagine life without it now. Crazy. We were looking at it and talking about cargo space and automatic sliding doors...um when did we get so old?
We've managed to have a few nights for just mommy and daddy thanks to Meemaw and PaPa :). Last weekend we went to a wedding for my friend, Tarrah, in Columbia. As in Columbia, Missouri. Yeah I was a little nauseous walking around all the black and gold and tiger paraphenalia all weekend. The jayhawk in me wanted to run but the wedding was beautiful as was the bride.
Brad works a TON of hours so it's me and kiddos a lot. It's amazing at 3 what big helpers they are already. They are such good kids which leads me to prayer time. I think bedtime is my favorite time and not just because they're getting ready to go to sleep. They each get to pick a book that we read and then read some stories from their Children's Bible and then they each take turns saying prayers and we give hugs and kisses and then they go to sleep (well sometimes the last part about sleeping is delayed but that's always the plan at least). They say the SWEETEST prayers. Leah is always thankful for the beautiful flowers, sun, rainbows, and other items in nature. She is also often thankful for the beautiful princesses, Mommy, Daddy, Colin, our foster baby (can't name names), and our new puppy Belle. Colin is thankful for everyone as well and also thanks God for things like the new lock for our gate, his toys, the beautiful blueberries, the sun, and asks that everyone has a great night of sleep and a great day tomorrow. Love love love bedtime prayer time at our house.
