My Mary Rose is sick and can't stop crying. So in her frustration she crys out:
"I am so bored, I don't feel good and I wanna go to Heaven"..."Heaven is my real home".
Poor girl is sick right now and this is what she crys out ;( Breaks my heart. Lot of insight for a 4 year old though?!
My Love Bugs

Our Prayers
My lil John has turned into my prayer boy...always wants to say them and if we start eating dinner wihout saying them he will stop everyone and say "hey guys we need to say our prayers before we eat" and at night when we sit and snuggle and rock before bed he says "momma lets say our prayers". One night we forgot to say them and after I layed him down he said "mom you know what we have to do", I had to do a lil video ;) He is so darn cute!!!
Mary & Marriage
Mary asks me this morning "Mommy It's gonna be a long time before I can choose someone to marry, right?"....I told her "yes sweetheart, it will be a LONG time and you do get to choose". And from that she starts doing her cartwheels and says "come on guys who wants to see the Amazing Mary?"....sure am glad she moves off that topic so fast ;)

A Difficult Day
Tonight Mary said "mom this was such a difficult day"...and she was right it was and she captured it with her single statement! Mary was whinny and not listening from the minute she woke up today ;(
Some moments and words I recount from our day:
On way home from the sitter's house, Mary yells from the backseat as she abrubtly pushes her hair from the side of her face "my hair is so aggrivating, I want a boys haircut, NOW, I have had enough!" At such a young age she already notices one of the many ways boys have it easier than girls...LOL!
As I took my rings (wedding & engagement) off to prepare to put lotion on John after his bath he stops me and says "mom why do you always take those off before putting lotion on me?"...he pauses and says "oh, I know because they are special to you"
Then after that Mary chimes in and wants to know when she will meet her husband and when can she get married...I tell her "honey I don't know when you will meet him, but you probably have not met him yet and maybe when you are 30", she is bummed as she wants to marry Sal from her class and thought 10 was old enough! So then she asks me "so when you 1st met daddy what did you say to him?", I told her I said "Hi, I am Julie nice to meet you" and we were 16 and in high-school. She then wanted to to know "well what did he say back, did he know then that he would marry you????". I told her he said Hi back and that yes Mommy knew soon after that I would some day marry him and many years later I did ;)
As I tucked my Mary Rose in I told her I was sorry we both had a dificult day and she said "I am sorry too, mom remember sometimes we just need to take a deep breath, I will practice tomorrow"...so sweet when they say something you have been saying and trying to teach them!
Here is hoping for a better day tomorrow...goodnight lovebugs, Mommy loves you more than rainbows! XOXO

My John John
While racing up the stairs for bedtime tonight, as Mary runs by Johnny and "beats" him, Johnny whines to me with his arms around my neck "Mommy Mary cheated, she never makes me win", I love it and only you would come up with that ;)

Up
Last night for family fun movie night we watched Up...we just bought it for the kids. They have seen it a couple times (at the sitters house and we rented it once) but I never watched whole thing just bits and pieces. We all sat down last night, the 4 of us, with our popcorn and drinks and snuggled up on the couch and watched Up together from beginning to end. WOW...now I know why it was nominted for best picture. So in the beginning when Ellie is crying at the doctors and you can tell she probbaly lost her baby, I started crying, and Johnny says "mom why is she so sad" and I told him "she did not have a baby", and he says "why, beacuse she can't" and I said "yes" and Johnny says "well she really wanted one!!! That's not fair"
Then when Ellie dies I of course am sobbing again and Mary leans over to me and says "don't worry mom Ellie is up in the stars now and watchin over him".
My dearest John & Mary you have hearts like your mommy and daddy and you touch my heart with all the precious things you say!
XOXO Mommy
