Will you take care of them?

A few days this week Isaac has been consistent in asking me

"Will you take care of Penn & Luke when i'm at school?"And he always asks when he gets home- "was Penn a good boy today?"
He loves to hold Luke when he gets home and often he will say... "mom, did you remember to feed Luke and change his diaper- thats really important for babies, okay?"
If I was to guess, I would say that Isaac is a very conciencious BIG brother. (And, I don't know how to spell Concientious)But I thought this would be cute to record.

Fiddling around takes Time!

I asked Isaac, so Isaac are you going to help me clean this up or what?

To which he responded- "no, I'm really busy just fiddling around."

I just burst out laughing and said- yeah fiddling around takes time!

Luke's MINE!

Penn was insistant that he hold "mi bebe." Every time I picked up Luke he insisted on holding him and would throw a little tantrum. Finally I put Luke on the floor next to Penn and he covered him with his own blue silky,layed next to him and looked at me and said, NNNNNo, mi bebe! It was so cute. He wanted Luke all to himself. Then he layed by him and every once in a while would lean over an give him a little kiss. Penn is so sweet. It will be fun to watch them grow together.

Inevitable

Today Isaac asked me to marry him. It was so cute. I think Harrison my nephew wanted to marry Julie when he was young like Isaac.

He just said, mom, I love you so much - you are my best girl- when I get bigger, will you marry me?

What a sweet little boy he is. Of course I said, sure, but what about Sara GUAJARDO....? She is the one in the picture looking at Isaac.

I think she might help change his mind:)

Red Red wet the BED

Isaac still wears a pull up to bed. Yes, I know... but I think its genetic. However last night I was shall we say... out with friends. It was Megans B day. So, I left and when I came home I was like Oh, my dear sweet husband put all the kids to bed! How awesome are YOU?

fast forward to this morning- Isaac runs in buck neked and exclaims- THERE WAS A BIG ACCIDENT. I say, where? What happened- and he said come look, so I go in his room to check and his bed is soaking wet. Mind you, I just put the sheets back on Monday night(I wash sheets every Monday).

Bryan had forgotten to put a pull up on him and change Penn's diaper. His bedding had to be changed as well. HILARIOUS! I think i'll wait for Bryan to come home to help me re- sheet his linens:)

overhearing Isaac singing

this morning I got up, got ready, and went to check on Isaac to see if he was still sleeping. I overheard him in his room singing these lyrics to the Primary song I Am a Builder:

I am the strongest boy that I know, except for dad sometimes
and I am the best boy in the house and have the best CANDY
I really love to i am the strongest and are the fastest like a lighteing bolt
Christmas is coming now halloween's over and i'm going to get the BEST presents ever,
and I get to eat all my candy today exept for at the church....

it was HILARIOUS. Then he spotted me peeking in his doorway and said- MOM! I slept all night BY MYSELF GOOD MORNING!!!


HE IS SO DANG CUTE!

You must be a better mother than me....

what I really wanted to say was "YOU LITTLE S#@*!. But, I refrained- and I said oh, my GOODNESS GRACIOUS ISAAC BRYAN SMITH! I even covered my mouth when I said it- and then Penn went OH and even covered his mouth too!

Isaac dumped out all of the clothes that were in bins which were labeled by size out into Penns closet. Clothes were piled about a foot high off the ground all over the floor and he had taken apart the containers and thrown them into the middle of Penn's ROOM!

I WAS SO UPSET. First of all, it takes all I have to keep the house in great shape- and having the boys clothes labeled by size and put away and continually organizing that particular closet with the clothes by size is something you have to stay on top of. Now this? What am I going to do with him? I wish he would really STOP this strange destructive behavior. I really love him, but TODAY I just want to yell "you little ... well you know- and spank his bare bottom.

I am proud of myself for keeping it together!
