Bedtime giggles

We laugh a lot at our house.  With an almost 6 year old, 4 year old, and 1 year old it's easy to do.  One of them starts laughing and then we all start laughing.  There's just something funny about being funny.

They have been saying some pretty funny things too.  At bedtime last night Luke got the idea to practice the 10 commandments.  He said, "Lets say the 10 commandments so we know what we need to work on."  Scott said, "Ok, let's go through them."  As Scott started going down the list Luke said, "Now remember, there's 10."  With a serious face.  After we were done they both decided they needed prayers for coveting.

When we went to pick up our soccer shirts they asked the kids what number they wanted to be.  Addison of course wanted number 6 because she is turning 6 in 6 days.  When Luke was asked what number he would like he shouted out in the most excited voice, "79!!!!"  And then giggled.  It was just the random number that he thought of first, and if you asked him tomorrow I'm sure it would be different.  When we got home I told Scott to ask him what number he was.  Luke shouted out "17!"  I said, "No what number did you choose?" He said, "77!  78!"  Well, at least he remembered there was a 7!

The other day Addy said, "Mama?"  I said, "Yes?"  She paused and then replied, "Shouldn't you wait to hear what I am going to ask before you tell me yes or no?"

We have been learning the hymn, "This is My Father's World."  So Luke woke up one morning, opened the window and said, "I hear nature singing!"  Then he heard a train and said, "Is that nature singing?" Now whenever we hear a bird singing, wind blowing, or insects making noise he says, "I hear nature singing!"

Luke was trying to convince us the other day that God loves the little children more than the mommys and daddys.  He backed himself up by saying, "Don't you remember that verse that Jesus loves the little children? And a long time ago Pastor Dave said in church that Jesus loves the little children.    And we even sing a song!"
