thinking Halloween

I asked the kids what they wanted to be for Halloween. Needless to say this was after the fact that I went to Once Upon a Child to find their costumes. I honestly didn't think they would care. They are only 3 and I wasn't sure if they really knew that when we mentioned Halloween they would actually remember that is the holiday that we dress up and get candy. Anyway, Nathan wants to be a spider. I guess that shouldn't be too hard to make. Lillian said she wanted to be Harmony. I thought this was funny. Harmony is a little girl at church who they adore. They think she is absolutely hilarious! This weekend, we are going to a campsite where they do their own little trick or treating. Needless to say, Nathan is going to be Thomas and blow his whistle. Lillian says she is going to be Harmony but in reality she is in a Tinkerbell dress. It works. Tinkerbell and Harmony are both blond. Rose will be either a mini Tinkerbell or an M&M. Should be fun and hopefully I will have many pictures to blog soon!

umbrellas

Lillian and Nathan found our umbrella. Needless to say, it keeps them entertained for a while. It is really cute to hear them playing because they don't say it's an umbrella. They call it a rainbrella. Now, I think this new word makes more sense than umbrella. What is an "um" anyway? I'm not sure if I know the reason for calling it an umbrella and if I try to explain it to a 3 year old I'll probably convince myself that it should be called a rainbrella.

Jesus Loves the little children

Nathan and Lillian were singing "Jesus loves the little children" yesterday. Here is a recap of what was said.
Nathan, "Jesus loves the little children..." (singing a little loud)
Lillian, "Nate, just not so loud."
Nathan, "JESUS LOVES THE LITTLE CHILDREN..." (singing very loud)

By this time, I was laughing so hard I couldn't stop them. It was so hilarious! It's just typical sibling rivalry.
