a little slip up!

the other day we took the kids to the mall (for supper! food courts rock, everyone gets what they want!)  nate wanted to take ellie for a drive. she as always!  grabs his arm and held on

then we switched cars and put ellie on nate's right. as she was reaching for his arm to hold onto, she slipped forward and hit her head on the side.  she cried. we picked her up.  chris was about to say something along the lines of "nate! it was your responsibility to watch her"  when i interrupted and said "don't you dare put the blame on him!"  nate went on playing and i calmly shared with chris that nate adores his sister, the last thing he would want is to hurt her. that would break him. and i added that it was our responsibility to watch for ellie's safety. not nates. ever

chris agreed and we forgot about it

then yesterday at church. chris was signing nate in to his class, there was about 5-6 adults there and nate says loudly in front of everybody while raising his hands he yelled

"....my dad was trying to tell me that i made ellie hurt"........ pausing he then declared ....."can you imagine the guilt?!!!"

bawahhhhh

another funny

last thursday while working away on school work. nate puts his pencil on the desk and says "MOM! i just have this feeling that i can't stop!  i just want to stop school right now, lay down and play stretchy monkey all day long!"

stretchy monkey is a video game

don't you ever have a day like that?

bawahhhh
