Oh my HECK.

Woke up to this Saturday morning.

It's 15lbs each of brown and white sugar. 10lbs of powdered sugar, 10lbs of baking soda and 5lbs of cornstarch. Also almost an entire bottle of dish detergent is mixed in. Those are all my utencils as well. Just for good measure.

This particular mixture is heck to wash out of children's hair, clothes, the floor, all your cabinets, the slats in the pantry door, all small appliances in the kitchen, most food in the pantry... I think you get the picture.

Stephen and Ethan's reasoning? "We wanted to make breakfast"

Mom, if you tell me that is cute it's entirely possible we won't be friends anymore.

Bread

Look, I made perfect bread. It was delicious. What's that? You don't come here to look at perfect bread? Well fine here you go:

That's more like it! And also this:

No wait, I try NOT to see that face! haha.

Let's try this one:

Aww that's cute. Ethan loves that photo of Brian. Hmmm, do I have any great pics of Stephen?

Awww Yeah, there you go. He's a ROCKSTAR. *this was actually supposed to be showing his super smart looking church outfit on Sunday. He and Brian put it together. With no regards to my "elastic pants and tucking in shirts can't coexist" rule. But he did look stinking adorable.

Also at church this Sunday Stephen stood in front of our whole church and shared his testimony. That's something we do once a month, have the opportunity for anyone to do that. So he did and it was so sweet that I memorized it:

I know that Jesus created everything in the whole wide world. In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

Now how's that for the testimony of a 4 year old? I think it's perfection.

Ethan Turns Three

We didn't have a real party.

We did get a huge thing of cupcakes but Ethan broke into them and ate all the frosting and made a mess of the cakes. Which stinks because I want cupcakes.

But we had fun anyhow. He got a memebership to a local Children's Museum, which he loves. We have already gone twice. He got some toys, but not tons of them, which I like.

He told me he feels like he's a big boy now that he's three.

The video is of him getting a very special card from my mom. He got this same card last year and loved it until it was dead. It lasted a good ten months though. So Mom, being brilliant, got him the same one! He did a super happy dance/song, but I didn't catch that on video.


ETA Try the video again, I linked the wrong one. hugs!

Ethan's Birthday

Well we didn't take any photos or have a party.

We did get a huge thing of cupcakes from Costco but Ethan broke into them and ate all the frosting and made a huge mess of the rest. Which really stinks because since then I've been really wanting a cupcake.

But we did have a nice time. He got a membership to a local Children's Museum which he loves and we have already been twice. Also I watched two kids who are friends of theirs. So we made baked apples and served them with ice cream.

And here is Ethan getting a special card:
