Tonight we decided to go to Gardner Village. We love going during the holidays because they are always so festive. They decorate with amazing witches at Halloween, and these fun elves during Christmas. Ethan thought we were going to meet real Elves, so all night he kept looking around the corners of buildings and down pathways saying he was going to find a real elf!~ We love all of the little shops, and mostly we just window shop, but of course we have to go into the candy store for the free fudge sample. (I highly recommend it!) The weather has been so nice here, it hardly feels like December. I hope it holds out a little longer so we can enjoy some of these outdoor activities without freezing too much!
cute pictures! I'm a super slacker but I'm trying to update more! :) Btw - if you are looking for warmer weather, come see us! I think we are supposed to get into the 70s today. Yesterday's high was only in the 50s... Texas is just full of surprises! Oh... and Riya is almost walking!! YEA!
I wished we could have joined you! We love that place too. That is funny that Ethan thought he would meet a real elf. Bryson the other night asked where the elves are, and we told him that they could be anyone, so he is now convinced that Maddy is a little elf, because her ears are a little pointed... Too funny! I'm glad you enjoyed it and as soon as we get this hacking out of our house, we would love to get together!
Sitting at a restaurant with cousins, Ethan leaned over and called out, "Mommy, can I have ribs?" I was surprised by this because he doesn't like to try new foods. I said, "Sure, do you like ribs?" He replied, "Yeah, are they chicken nuggets?"
While walking into the mall, Ethan was playing "spies" with his Spiderman glasses and secret spy pen. He turned to me and in his best spy voice said,"All right my friend, I'll check and make sure the ghost is clear".
Tonight as I was tucking Ethan into bed he said he doesn't want to grow up and be on the Jazz. He just wants to be a kid and stay on his soccer team. I asked him why, and he replied, "I don't think they have treats after the game when you're big".
I was laughing with my sister-in-law Sarah today about how crazy life is with small children. I told her someday we'll look back and be sad that we don't have any little people to clean up after or run around after. Right then Ethan came and asked for a spoonful of frosting. I laughed and told Sarah, "Someday Ethan won't be asking for spoonfuls of frosting anymore". Just then, Ethan piped up, "Yeah, maybe someday I'll ask for a spoonful of peanut butter!"
While driving over to Joseph's sister Rebecca's home one night, I gave Ethan the usual prep before playing with cousins. I said,"Ethan, I want you to play really nice with Hayden and Melodee, okay, and share." Ethan replied," Okay, who's Sher?"
Every time Alex starts to cry, Ethan comes and pats his face and says, "it's okay, I'm here".
While at his four year checkup, Ethan said "Is the nurse going to shot me?"
We were saying prayers with Ethan the other night, and right in the middle of it he stopped praying. After a few seconds, I told him to keep going. He responded, "I can't. I am just a little kid. My name starts with an E and a R. So I can't say my prayers."
