My almost 4 yo daughter eats about as much as me, most of the time.  It’s amazing how she can be a little skinny minnie and shovel so much food in.
She’ll eat her food and then ask if she can finish the 2 yo’s food.  Meanwhile the 2 yo, who is just a slower eater [...]

After she petted the calves she squatted down and looked up under their bellies. I’m so glad that her Daddy was closer to her than I was. He got to answer her questions. By the way, one of them was a boy.

Speaking of cows…

She also asked, Mommy, why didn’t milk come out [...]

On Sunday my children got orange Tic-Tacs for saying their Bible verse.

This is the beginning for me. All of [...]

In our apartment we only have one bathroom.
This has it’s good points, not many of them, but if I think hard enough there are some.
It also has it’s bad points. One of them is my children’s uncanny ability to always have to use the potty when I am in the shower. Always. [...]

While swimming being carried around the pool my 2 year old was shouting, “I wimen! Look at me wimen!”
She was not announcing that she was multiple adult females; she just dropped the letters at the beginning and end of the word.
Then my 5 year old announced, “Look at me, Mommy! I’m not shrinking!”
I’m [...]
