On a daily basis they say or do something that is hilarious, actually a few things! I am thankful for them when I am having a bad day, they can change my mood in an instant!
This morning while watching "Sprout" there was a commercial break, and I noticed Olivia watching and she was very interested in what they were advertising. This is different because Olivia never pays much attention to the commercials. After a minute or so Olivia walks over to where I am feeding Krew breakfast and says "Mom, we need to get the amazing Pancake Puff pan!" I was trying not to laugh, because she was dead serious and I didn't want to hurt her feelings. She then goes on in great detail about all of the things that you can use the pan for. It was the cutest thing!
This also reminds me of a time when I left her at Gloria's house (Levi's mom) while I took Krew to a doctors appointment. When I picked her up Gloria told me that she had expressed interest in a broom she saw on an infomercial! When I asked Livi about it she said that we could use the broom instead of the vacuum. I realized that this was because she isn't too fond of the vacuum because it is loud. The perfect solution in her mind was the broom that even worked on carpet!
They say laughter is the best medicine and I am sure my grandma got her fair share when I took Olivia up to see her on Sunday. I have only taken her up there a couple of times because obviously there is not much to do in a hospital room besides get into things. My Grandma asked me to bring her up, because she missed her. (They spent a great amount of time together before my Grandma was having health issues)
So Olivia and I left Levi and Krew at home and went up to see her. Olivia thought that it was the coolest thing that my Grandma's hospital room had it's own bathroom!
After a little while I could tell Olivia was getting a little bored when she kept telling me that she had to go to the bathroom over and over. After she had gone about 3 times she told me she needed to go again. I was pretty sure she didn't need to so I asked her
Me- "Do you really need to go?"
Olivia- "Yes"
Me- "Number 1 or 2?"
Olivia looks at me and says "I think number 4 mom!"
Needless to say, my Grandma and I had a pretty good laugh.
I never knew how much fun having children would be! I assumed it would be great, and even teaching pre-school for as long as I did those kiddo's could always get me laughing! However, I think it's different when you have your own kids.
Levi and I talk throughout the day and I tell him the things we have done. He tells me the funny things Olivia says before she falls asleep (last night it was about her wanting to be a dolphin when she grew up!) we get such a kick out of watching our babies grow up. I can't imagine anything better, I am so lucky to have such a wonderful husband and two beautiful children!

These picture of your kids are ADORABLE! Love LOVE the black and white one. I can't believe how much Olivia looks like you and Krew like Levi. You both have to claim them.
