Evan Charlie 5/25

Evan is very excited to be getting visitors today. His kindergarten teachers are coming to visit him this afternoon and bringing him a welcome gift bag. He asked me if this means kindergarten starts this week or if he still has to wait until August. LOL So this morning he said that he had to take a bath so he wouldn't be stinky (as usual, he ran his own bath, and washed and dried himself), then he got dressed in a button down shirt so he would look nice for his company, and then said he had to brush his teeth too because his breath had to smell good. He changed shirts twice. And now he's asking me every few minutes when they are going to be here. :)

The other day the boys were talking about what they want to be when they grow up and Evan said he wants to work on bridges and build and design houses. So, I told him architects design houses and bridges. Today he said, "Mom, I'm going to grow up and design and build you a house. And it's going to have a pool inside (SWEEET!) and I'm going to build it out of bricks so nothing can knock it over (been reading The Three Little Pigs lately? HA!) and put windows in it (thanks for that!) and make sure the doors are REALLY bigger than usual because I'm going to be very tall and I will need to be able to come in and visit you.

<3 it! :)

She was so cute! She saw a shirt at Baby Gap that had a picture of a girl walking a dog and the girl had a purse on her shoulder. She let go of my hand and ran in to get it... "Shirt! Purse! Dog!" Then looks down at the mannequin's feet..."Shoes!" She went to the racks and started rifling through them. I told her they didn't have the shirt in her size so she kept walking through the store. We went to the back (in between she pulled off a pink t-shirt with puppies on it and when the sales clerk said, "I don't think that will fit you" She rolled her eyes at him and said "DOGS!" As if that explained everything.) At the back of the store, she saw the shirt she liked again, and I found it for her in her size. Meanwhile, her eyes lit upon the headband (pictured above) the matching shorts, and the sunglasses (which are the same ones the girl on the shirt is wearing). She grabbed them all up and marched to the cash register. LOL This is the official first time she has picked out an outfit.. and she pretty much broke my piggy bank. EEEK! But she has good taste. The outfit is cute. After we left she insisted on carrying the bag through the whole mall. :)
Oh... about 5 minutes afterwards, she looked in the bag and gasped "SHOES!!" Yeah.. we forgot to buy the matching shoes. My wallet thanks me for that.

Aidan: Is it alright if we put our sandwiches in the refrigerator so we can read the Bible today and we'll eat them tomorrow?"

(Because it's bedtime and he really wanted to read the Bible tonight, and they are eating pepperoni and cheese sandwiches right now)

The verse came to Chris' mind, "Neither have I gone back from the commandment of his lips; I have esteemed the words of his mouth more than my necessary food." Job 23:12 KJV

Of course, we're letting him eat his sandwich and we're having Bible time tonight. :)
