On Sabbath night, I made some carob-tofu-banana-coconut milk-salt-vanilla smoothies that the kids loved. Well, it was a tad rich for Ruby, I think. David wasn't impressed. More for us! ;) (And Uncle Durrick...) Anyhow, as I was drinking my smoothie, Jadelyn looked at me with awe in her eyes and asked, "how do you drink that without getting it on your face?" For you see, I should've taken a picture of her face - 3/4 ring of carob smoothie around her mouth and some on her nose for good measure. ;) Then, she told me that she thought she had some smoothie on her hand, and licked it, but found out that it was dirt. And she thought "yuck!" because "I don't like to eat dirt anymore." For in the olden days, that is something she really enjoyed, I guess. Glad her eating habits are improving from the chicken food and dog food and cat food days...;P
Isaac helped me today with MORE sanding. He sanded on the bookshelf that David built yesterday for probably a good hour. Quietly sanding as I cleaned and painted. It was lovely. Once, when he stopped sanding, it got REALLY quiet. So quiet, that he whispered to me about how quiet it was when he wasn't using his tool. Thanks for the work and the quiet companionship, I-see!!! =)
At lunch today, somehow we got to talking about how it's not a good idea to marry a liar. I was telling the kids that's one reason why you really get to know someone before you get married. They didn't really get it. I asked Isaac how he knew I'm telling the truth when I say something, "because when you say something's going to happen, it does", he said. Ruby wasn't all the way convinced, I guess. So she thought maybe she should set up an elaborate test for honesty in someone she dates. She will listen at the bathroom door after they go potty to see if they wash their hands. Then she will ask them if they wash their hands. If they said they did but the water didn't turn on, then LIAR!!! I asked what happened if they turned the water on but didn't wash their hands. She told me that she thinks she used to do that in Kentucky 'cause she was just being "lazy". ;P So, she upped her plan. She will have a hidden camera in the ceiling to see if they wash their hands. Isaac then piped in to say that he would ask his person to wait to go to the bathroom for about a minute longer than it would take him to go outside and climb up in the attic (the minute longer being so that he could get settled into the attic and have it nice and quiet before they enter the bathroom. Wouldn't want them to know what's up, you know.). Then he will spy on 'em or listen in or something to see if they wash their hands. Later, he said he will have a remote controlled camera in the bathroom. And Ruby says that if they don't wash their hands and say they do, that's it. "What if you love them?" Jadelyn asked. You have to stop loving them, Ruby said. Well, maybe you keep loving them, but don't get married. So, there are some lessons to learn from this:
1. Tell the truth.
2. If you want to marry my kids, WASH YOUR HANDS ALREADY AND SAVE US THE
ANGST!
3. Look out for hidden cameras around my house, your privacy COULD be invaded. =O
Oh, and then Ruby thought she should maybe sneak over to her beloved's house before dark sometime and hide cameras in the kitchen, living room, and maybe bathroom and bedroom to see how her chosen one treats his parents. 'Cause if he's mean, she don't want to marry 'em. And Jadelyn? She's still planning on not getting married 'cause she wants to live with me, and she's pretty sure her man won't want to. ;)
Adios!

Sickness and Funny Kidisms...
So, on Sabbath, I, Kim, decided that we would skip the kids' naptime and go on the hike with the school. David was on supervision and would have to go, but I could've taken a nap. Guess I was feeling out of the ordinary adventurous to suggest skipping naptime, 'eh? ;) Yeah, yeah. They're only almost 8 and 5 1/2, but they still nap almost every day they go down, so naptime (and my quiet time) continues...=O Anyhow, I announce my spontaneous-like decision very soon before we need to walk out the door, and I'm met by Isaac crying, saying that he has a headache and would rather take a nap. See, when Isaac gets headaches, it often progresses to nausea and sometimes the real deal throwing up. So, I reluctantly decided that Isaac and I would stay home (David said he'd still take the girls). Gave Isaac some good 'ole Tylenol, which sometimes stops the nausea from happening. Guess his headache started when we got to church, or something, and got worse when he and Jadelyn cracked heads while playing "Red Rover" after lunch. That game is trouble waiting to happen. I almost always felt like my wrists were going to get broken playing that game. But, I digress. Because Isaac was napping, I laid down on the couch to read, which lasted the approximately 10 minutes that it normally does before I feel very, verrry tired. So, I took a nap. Isaac woke up from his nap after only an hour. He did not come to see me. That was strange, but I figured he really had to go potty after drinking a cupful of water right before naptime in an effort to get his headache to go away. I waited around 10 minutes and went to find him. Fella was sick. I think he had thrown up by that point. So, we cuddled in the bathroom for 20 minutes or so. Long enough for my posterior to become quite sore. =P Then, we moved the cuddle session out to the living room. After a while, little man was fine (as he often is in situations like that.) We continued with our evening plans as usual with no problems.
For some reason that nobody knows, David and I forgot how old we are and stayed up 'til midnight on Sabbath. Finally hit the hay, and shortly after, hear the pitter patter of Isaac's feet running to the bathroom. Lovely. He was sick. Sick, sick, SICK. Threw up every 30 minutes or so until 3 or 4, and then slowed to about 1 throw up an hour 'til 7. Oh, and at some point in there it progressed to throwing up AND diarrhea. Thankfully the worse occurrence of that happened during the hour and a half or so that David was getting up with I-see. Also thankfully, David is strong-stomached and Isaac didn't want a new pair of jammies and just wanted to just sleep in his undies (first time in his life, I believe). This made changing easy, since he went through 4-5 pairs of underwear that night. Only the first time was bad. After that, it was just a little. He learned to sit on the potty and heave into the garbage can. Again, thankfully, I heard him going at it, and ran into the bathroom to find him sitting on the toilet heaving into thin air. Enter garbage can. Life saver. Although I don't think he was really bringing anything up by that point. Needless to say, I did NOT get much sleep. But, during one strange episode of sleep, I awoke to a little face at the side of my bed saying that her belly hurt. Around 5:30am. Ruby. Well, it had been about 1 hour before that she woke up to come check on Isaac, who she heard throwing up from her bedroom. I figured her belly hurt 'cause she was worried, so tried to reassure her that he was fine (for in-between throwing up, he said he felt good and would act totally normal. Said his belly didn't feel like it normally does when he's "throw-up sick". Yes, our family has a well-used term. For throwing up happens around these parts a LOT. Nobody knows why. But it does. =P Poor little man.). Anywhos. Sometimes her belly hurts and if someone pushes on it real well it feels better. (She's learned this from Isaac, who used to ask Ruby to sit on his belly if it felt bad). So, I instinctively pushed on her stomach and rubbed it and told her that Isaac was okay. She said she wasn't worried about Isaac. And what'dya know. She started puking soon after. That lasted until 7am THIS morning. Yes. Over 24 hours. Though really she went from like 8:45 last night 'til 5:30 this morning with no puking. Strange thing is, she really NEVER brought anything up. But child wanted to throw up so bad and sometimes would say "help me" as her head swung around in her sickness. Poor girl. Every time she'd go an hour without being sick and I'd let her have a tiny sip of water, she'd throw up about 30 minutes later (or maybe that was 30 minutes after the 2 sip time. =O Yes, I think that was mostly it.). So, finally I decided I was going to have to break some rules to hydrate the child, plus I figured that maybe she was throwing up 'cause she was SO HUNGRY by that point. Gave her ice chips and said she could have as many as she wanted and felt like she could handle. She had almost an ice-cube tray worth of ice chips. Then progressed to Gatorade and then broth. She likes broth. Couldn't handle jello at lunch time - said she started feeling a little sick when she tried it. So, broth again. Then she napped for 3 hours and woke up saying she felt "good" but was tired. Ate at supper, helped clean up the house, and played hide-n-seek. I think she's on the mend!!! =) This is good.
Aren't you glad you just read so much about puke? =O
Oh, and in that puke story I forgot the cuteness. Ruby, after throwing up and asking me to pray for her, then prayed for herself. And for Isaac - that he wouldn't get sick again. And Isaac reported that he prayed for Ruby when he heard her puking in the other bathroom. Seriously, I had one kid camped out in one bathroom, and one in the other bathroom. There were times I would be talking to one of them after they were done being sick, and I'd have to cut it short 'cause I'd hear the other one at it in the other bathroom. And during this my belly started not feeling great and I had one end of the sickness (=P). I was thinking we might really regret not having the 3rd bathroom completed, but all worked out. =P Oh, and then David took Jadelyn to work with him on Sunday morning for a few hours so I could get some sleep and such, and when he brought her back, she just quietly colored in the living room, looked at a book or so in her room and then colored on a dry erase board in Isaac's room. Was all great 'til I found 4 different places this morning that dry erase marker made it on to Isaac's carpet. =P That's still a work in process to get it out - any suggestions? =P OH! And at one point, I came out and gave Jadelyn a run-down on her siblings situation. "I don't care" she told me, "I just like to color." Ai yai yai. =P
We got our first hard frost last night, so Isaac and I went out and picked all the tomatoes and tomatillas we wanted to salvage. 4 of our 5 kitchen window sills are now full of tomatoes at different stage of ripening. When Jadelyn saw all those tomatoes, she said that there were so many tomatoes, "I can't believe my eyes -- I'm about to hit my eyes!" Okay, then!!!
Another time, something was so funny that Jadelyn exclaimed, "I'm about to laugh my feet off!!!" Versus "head off", I'm guessing. ;)
And then she said that Isaac "cracked me up so much I'm about to die!"
There was another good one that Ruby and I overheard from the living room, but I don't remember it. It gave us a good smile, though. That Lynnie.
At lunch today, I was telling the kids how Thanksgiving is coming soon and telling them what's on the menu. Jadelyn didn't want me to "ruin our surprise", but I did anyways. Isaac was reminiscing to 3 years ago when we had the relish tray on the table and how he wants to do that again. Funny guy. I was telling them how I use Gram's recipe for dip, but mine is never as good as hers. Isaac then said that maybe Gram has a sprayer machine that is a little cone with a hole in the end. Once she mixes up the ingredients it sprays in a little something extra to make it so delicious. Must be!!! My dip never tastes like hers!!!
And tonight, when I was tucking Isaac in to bed, he told me, "I have to talk to you." He often talks at bedtime. And talks and talks and talks, even as we shut the door. So, I figured he was just buying time before he had to be quiet for the night and go to sleep. But nope. He really had something on his heart. So, back to the story. "I have to talk to you", he says. I asked what about? "My brain". Period. Pause. Oh...hmmmm...this could be interesting. Then, he tells me that his brain tells him things and he thinks and thinks about it. Then he plays and forgets, but then he stops playing and remembers. And he needs to tell me. His brain tells him to pray a lot 'cause Jesus is coming soon. And he wants to go to heaven. And he needs to tell this to Jadelyn, and Ruby, and me, and Daddy, 'cause he wants us to pray a lot and go to heaven, too. Sweet man. I asked him if his brain tells him that he should stop aggravating his sisters. Nope, his brain hasn't sent that message yet. ;)
OH!!! And on Sabbath night, I taught Ruby how to add and subtract up to 4 places with borrowing and carrying and all that, and she thinks it's so fun she wrote some of her own problems to work. I love planting messages like, "Math is fun!!!" Yeah, I think I totally told her that. ;)
We were supposed to claim their Book-It Pizzas tonight, but with the sickness I thought we'd better hold off. Hopefully soon. We're partying this week. More on that on Thursday, maybe...;)
Oh, yes!!! The other day, we were running late for story time and I was tired out. I told Ruby that the other day, Isaac read to me, but I didn't read to him, and I read to her that day, so on this day, she was going to read to me, but I wasn't going to read to her. She left the room to get her book. "You broke her heart!!!" Isaac exclaimed. Sure enough, Ruby re-entered the room with the saddest face and quiet tears. Then Isaac, my sweet fella, pipes up something like, "Ruby, you can have my story and I just won't have mine." This is a big deal, for Isaac has been working his way through a library book about elephants and really treasures his story time. It was the sweetest cheer-up message. I told Ruby she should give him a hug, so she got down of the chair, went over, and hugged and kissed her favorite twin brother. Then, Jadelyn pipes in something like, "Isaac, I'll pick the elephant story so you can hear it." So, Isaac went and hugged his little sister and everyone was happy. Until I didn't read the elephant book to them because they weren't present when they were supposed to be. But that would ruin the happy feel-good story, yes? ;P
OH!!!! (Again...=O) Tonight, we played hide-n-seek. When I was "it" the second time, I walked around singing about where my lost children were and I needed to find 'em. And then, Isaac was "it" next and he started by walking around singing the same song, except for his song was about his lost "girls" and where is his Mommy. =) Funny guy. And after I shut the door on him when saying goodnight tonight, he sang a quick "Goodnight, little Mommy, goodnight" to the closed door. Earlier he was singing his own composition that I really need to get on video, "1, you know I'm coooomiiinnng!!! 2, you know I'm cooommming!!! 3, you know I'm coooomingg!!!" and on and on. About the second coming, of course. Maybe his brain was thinking about what it's been thinking about lately. Jesus loves you, my I-see. He wants to be your very best friend. Keep using that brain.

Quick Note...
So, I've been missing for a long time. Kidney stone surgery and recovery (1 cm by 6mm MONSTER, doc said it probably had been growing for a year to get to be that size =O), falling and hurting my shoulder real bad, etc., etc. I'm probably 95% cured now. MRI said fractured shoulder, orthopedic doctor said no fracture, just a bad MRI and a badly bruised bone. Shoulder has been a bit achy the past few days, but you know. I've been back to painting and caulking and cleaning and life is good. =) There's my update. Now you know.
There's been several times that things happen and I think I need to write about it, but alas, I didn't. So trying to get back on the blogging bandwagon again. =O
Today, the kids and I were talking about a student who broke his collarbone. He has to keep his arm in a sling for a couple weeks, and I was commenting that I hope it's not his dominant arm. Jadelyn then was talking about how rough it would be if his "coloring bone" was broken, and how he would color messy and out of the lines. Funny kid. =)
After a sweet tuck-in session with Isaac tonight (his favorite bedtime song is "Away in a Manger" lately...I think 'cause it's the song he thinks is the longest, and he likes his back scratched on his bare back for as long as he can), he told me that he is going to invent a machine that will scratch backs and sing songs. He just might knock it out of the park with a machine like that!
And then, I was singing to Ruby (also "Away in a Manger" tonight), and she was grinning like a silly loon. A kind silly loon. Today we focused on kindness. She made treasure hunts for all of us. Most of the messages spell out "I love you so much." when put together. What a sweet little color-coded-treasure-hunt-maker! And she shared a cheese "puff" with Lynnie at lunch and water with Lynnie in the van. Sometimes she really struggles with being kind. Tonight she said, "I like being kind." I like it too, Ruby. Love you to loves.
Night night!

Van Rides.
Today we went on a bit of a road trip. Just a bit. Started in Phoenix. On the day that they got the most rain in the history of Phoenix. Flooding. But we avoided it, for which I am so thankful. Last time we visited Phoenix overnight it was 67 freezin' degrees and we were there to swim in a freezin' outdoor pool. I'm thinking that Phoenix and I are not friends. Anyways.
The van ride was a bit crazy. The kids were way more excited and FEISTY than they should have been and much more than they normally are. At one point, I turned around to see Jadelyn licking her sunglasses. Why? Nobody knows. Then, I turned around later and found Isaac with his snorkel gear on like that is a totally normal way to go down the road. Right? And THEN I turned around another time to see Jadelyn, with a UN-lidded waterbottle up to her head sticking straight out, and her eyes were all crossed looking at it. I mean. WHERE did this kid come from? HOW did she end up in my family? I asked her. She shrugged and then suggested that maybe she came from the "crazy farm". I think I need to stop turning around while we're driving.
Earlier, Ruby asked, out of the clear blue, if Uncle William's family is breaking the rules. What rule, pray tell? Well, she wanted to know if they were breaking the law when they get out of their seats and use a potty seat in the car. This was followed by much conversation. About how if we raced across America, their family would kick our tail. And about how we could call the police and have them pulled over to give us a fair chance. And on and on and on, and then Isaac busts out talking about the ceiling of the van. I died laughing. As in I could hardly breathe. I started to cry. Isaac was mad about me laughing at him. (He continued later, after I regained some composure, talking about some contraption on the top of a van for using for some purpose about pottying and where the poop and pee would go.) I mean, HOW AM I EVEN RELATED TO THEM??!?!?!? Then, I'm so tickled I texted Shelley about it. About how our family was talking about her family and I was dying laughing and it was hilarious and she would need to trust me and it was about their family pottying in the van. And I got a reply. That the recipient didn't recognize this number but laughter is good for the soul. I thought Shelley was pulling my leg. So I texted back something about, "Is this not Shelley? Are you not joking?" and I got a response that they weren't joking and it wasn't Shelley and "Peace". Of all the texts to send to a wrong number, I send a text about pottying in the van. Not a text like, "where you at?" or "what're you up to?" or "are you almost here?" Nope. Not me. I text strangers about pottying in the van. Maybe I DO belong in this family after all. Ai yai yai.

And THEN I turned around another time to see Jadelyn, with a UN-lidded waterbottle up to her head sticking straight out, and her eyes were all crossed looking at it. I mean. WHERE did this kid come from? HOW did she end up in my family? I asked her. She shrugged and then suggested that maybe she came from the "crazy farm". I think I need to stop turning around while we're driving.
Earlier, Ruby asked, out of the clear blue, if Uncle William's family is breaking the rules. What rule, pray tell? Well, she wanted to know if they were breaking the law when they get out of their seats and use a potty seat in the car. This was followed by much conversation. About how if we raced across America, their family would kick our tail. And about how we could call the police and have them pulled over to give us a fair chance. And on and on and on, and then Isaac busts out talking about the ceiling of the van. I died laughing. As in I could hardly breathe. I started to cry. Isaac was mad about me laughing at him. (He continued later, after I regained some composure, talking about some contraption on the top of a van for using for some purpose about pottying and where the poop and pee would go.) I mean, HOW AM I EVEN RELATED TO THEM??!?!?!? Then, I'm so tickled I texted Shelley about it. About how our family was talking about her family and I was dying laughing and it was hilarious and she would need to trust me and it was about their family pottying in the van. And I got a reply. That the recipient didn't recognize this number but laughter is good for the soul. I thought Shelley was pulling my leg. So I texted back something about, "Is this not Shelley? Are you not joking?" and I got a response that they weren't joking and it wasn't Shelley and "Peace". Of all the texts to send to a wrong number, I send a text about pottying in the van. Not a text like, "where you at?" or "what're you up to?" or "are you almost here?" Nope. Not me. I text strangers about pottying in the van. Maybe I DO belong in this family after all. Ai yai yai.

Isaac's Songs....
Found a scrap piece of paper laying around today on which David had written two of Isaac's original compositions a few weeks ago - at Isaac's request.
"Jesus is like a machine. He takes away all my sin and He helps me throw them in the deepest ocean."
"Jesus, please turn on the switch. Please turn on the switch and take away all my sins. Please turn on your other switch, your number two switch and help me give away all my sins so I can go to heaven."
Isaac still has a love for machines. And Jesus. =)

Blurbs....
David was going out of town for meetings, and was going to be gone one night. Ruby asked him if he was going to eat bagels at the hotel. She then asked him not to. Because if he did, it would "break my heart" because she wouldn't have any bagels to eat. Oh, my dear, sweet, dramatic Ruby. =)
David asked the kids to be big helpers for Mommy while he was gone to his meetings. This did not appear to happen until we were outside, and I was cleaning up the yard of stuff. (How does "stuff" pop up all over my yard, anyways? =P) Anyways, on this trip, I was carrying one of the kid's bikes out to the barn. Ruby then remembered that she had told Daddy she would help me while he was gone, so she proceeded to grab onto the bike and "help" (aka pull down on the bike, making it more heavy, and pull back, making me need to walk slower) me. It's the thought that counts, right? =)
According to my notes, I mentioned something about needing/wanting/something arms that could reach the fridge from an undocumented location (so therefore I don't remember it). Isaac said that I might need "a special machine" to help me with this. That boy and his machines.
I love how Isaac says "large". You know, that really big one over there. It's very large. Things like that. He's just a cutie. =) I also love how he gets his sister's attention, "Hey, gowos" instead of "Hey, girls!" Now to correct that speech problem......
Isaac got his wish and his sisters came out to the top of the playhouse to blow bubbles with him. First it was Jadelyn. Then, Ruby joined them when she was done with her trips around the garden, and after the girls came inside, Alpine the cat joined Isaac. He was well loved that day! =)
David had to bring the nursing home's minibus to the meetings, so he drove it home after the meetings were over. The kids all got to go for a ride, and boy, were they excited! =) Sometime after, we were having a lunchtime conversation. Isaac wants to know when he can go to school (presumably so he can ride a bus). We then talked about how we were going to homeschool because some of the things that are taught in public school are not things that we want them learning right now. We talked about church school and how there aren't any around here. We talked about how Grandpa was a teacher at a church school and how that church school closed down soon after Grandpa went on disability. We talked about how Aunt Tracy worked really hard to try to get that school re-opened for years, as she wanted her kids to go there. We talked about how it takes a LOT of money to re-open the school. The kids were wondering if it would take so much money that if we had it here, it would fill our house. Or at least our living room (I think). Then, Ruby had a solution. We will just go to our bank and ask them for all our money, which we could then give to Aunt Tracy to re-open the school. I had to educate Ruby that we didn't have enough, and how banks only give you the amount of money that you had in the bank. So, resourceful Ruby came up with another idea - we will just go to our bank, then another bank, then another bank, then another bank until we had enough money. Somehow I don't think she completely caught the gist of my "bank education". ;)
Ruby asked Isaac and Jadelyn to not "distract" her with toys on the day that she has to get her cast/have surgery. Because she is going to walk around and walk around, since she won't be able to with the cast on. I wish we could have it over, already. The "anticipation" (to put it positively) is difficult. Quick update: second-opinion-doctor pretty much agreed with the first doctor as to the plan of care. So, we're waiting on the CMT blood test, and if Ruby has CMT, surgery it will be. If not, casting it will be. Results are supposed to be back on the 22nd of December, but I'm hoping and praying for an earlier date. I'm worn out from waiting. =P
Overheard Ruby telling Isaac that she would help him open a container for the ornaments or Christmas lights or something because it was hard for Isaac, and Ruby is older. Oh, being one minute older than Isaac is something that Ruby will NEVER let Isaac forget! =P
Jadelyn drew a yellow-banana-shaped oval and later told me that it was a "banana!" I was impressed. She then pointed to a round green circle that she had drawn and told me it was an "apple". I was getting really impressed. Until she pointed to another green circle and told me it was a "banana!" Rats. =P
Ruby was helping Jadelyn put crayons away when she excitedly said, "Mom, look what we did! We alternated them!" Then, "there,you have alternated crayons, Jadelyn." I love Ruby's organization (except the fact that she hides things all over the house. And sometimes I need those things. And Ruby sometimes forgets where she hid them. =P) and her big-word-usage. =)
Ruby was being the "Mom" for Isaac, and "baby" Isaac just wasn't settling down to sleep like Ruby thought he should. Which prompted this outburst, "I have to stay up late when you keep messing around." Oh, Ruby...you have no idea....=)
I looked out the window last Sunday to see the sweetest thing EVER. Walking from the barn to the house were my three kiddos. Isaac holding Jadelyn's hand, and Ruby holding Jadelyn's other hand. Then, when crazy Hickory would charge at them, Ruby and Isaac would circle around Jadelyn to protect her from having the dog jump on her. Seriously SO SWEET! I love moments like that. Hickory kept pestering them, so I had to go save them. My sweet little heroes! =) Ruby also informed me that while we were at Noah's birthday party, Noah's Daddy was acting like a lion (or Ruby was pretending he was a lion. Or something. I need to not get this far behind in blogging. =P), and Ruby was protecting other kids. Ruby and her no-fear. Except of this surgery/cast/blood-draw business. =P
Ruby had been very excited about Jadelyn's upcoming 1/2 birthday. And she had great plans. To sing "Happy 1/2 birthday to you! Happy 1/2 birthday to you! Happy 1/2 birthday, dear Jadelyn! Happy 1/2 birthday to you!" She forgot that on the actual day, but on the big day we went to Wal-Mart. I had completely forgotten that it was Jadelyn's half birthday. Until Ruby informed the lady behind us in the check-out lane that Jadelyn turned "2 1/2 today!" Ruby, my walking calendar. =) Today, she said, "today is....wait.....don't tell me.....1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11....December 11th!" That girl.
The other day, Ruby came out of her room. Jadelyn was lying on Ruby's new bean bag (for positioning her comfortably when she's casted). Instead of the usual, "Hi, Ruby!" Jadelyn called out, "Hey, sister! I on your Pack 'n Play!" Ruby, of course, quickly informed her that it is NOT a Pack 'n Play, but a beanbag. =P
Jadelyn likes to say "7 clock" when asked when something will happen. If Ruby and Isaac ask her when they can have the toy she is playing with, she will answer, "7 clock", and Ruby and Isaac will then start quickly counting from 1 - 7, inform Jadelyn that it's now 7 o'clock, and then ask for the toy. Well, Jadelyn doesn't always fall for that now. She also answers "7 clock" when asked "why" or maybe even "where" questions. Not helpful to get a response of "7 clock" to those types of questions. Just so you know.
The other day, after Jadelyn screamed (for the millionth and second - or maybe more =P) time in her life, Isaac asked, "why does she always scream?" Ruby piped in, "she's saying, "Mommy, may I have a consequence, please?"" Ha!
Today, I asked Jadelyn what her name was. "Jadelyn", she responded. (Not "Nini! =O) Then, I asked what her middle name was...pause...."Jadelyn", she responded. So I then asked her what her last name was...."hmmmmmm..................Stinky Poo!" Oh, dear. Guess I should be more careful with my nicknames. =O
Tomorrow is Ruby and Isaac's 5th birthday. I simply cannot believe it. 5 just seems so....OLD. =O It was a little sad for me saying goodnight tonight to my 4 year-olds for the last time. How does time pass so quickly?

Bits and Pieces....
David came home on Friday and told the kids that Aunt Debi told him that he should take hot and cold showers to get well. Ruby commented that then there would be a "tornado in your shower." Ha!
On Friday night, I was playing "Egypt to Canaan" with the kids for the first time. Jadelyn lost interest quickly. Ruby and Isaac often required having the Bible verse with the answer in it read to them before they could get the answer. Sometimes several times. With some emphasis on the answer courtesy of Mommy. Guess we'd better work on those listening skills. Anyways, Isaac got the question asking how many Egyptians successfully followed the Israelites across the Red Sea. Isaac: "4? 5? 6?" Oh, boy...;)
Isaac has decided on yet another machine that he will need when he grows up and has his 11 children. A machine to wash baby washcloths fast. For he will use a LOT of them - one for each kid at mealtime, like we do...only he will have a LOT more kids. =) So, this machine will take the washcloth down and then "shoot it out" (I believe that was the term) in just a minute. Speedy machine. Wonder where I could find one of 'em?
Ruby thinks that maybe she will be a "teeth doctor" when she grows up. But probably not because she is going to have kids when she grows up.
We were visiting Tom and Tina on Friday, and they presented each kiddo with their very own Fruit Loop bowl. They said that they had two more for their "other grandkids" (those being the biological ones ;D). We have been so very blessed with neighbors that have "adopted" our kids as their grandkids. The love is mutual, I can assure you. ;)
At lunch on Friday, the kids were being crazy, saying that they had many more grapes than they really had. This went on and on and on and on and on....and then I, standing near the stove with a big spoon in my hand, turned toward the table and simply said, "bonk", gesturing with the spoon like I was bonking them over the head. All three kids erupted into giggles. Man, I don't remember the last time I was that hilarious. =)
Isaac was telling me an angel story the other day. Something about angels stopping lightning bolts from hitting the house, and the angels were getting hit with the lightning but were not hurt. Or something. And the angels were blowing their trumpets at the lightning. "Booo, boo, boooooo!!!"
Jadelyn informed me the other day that she was going to work. I looked over and saw her on the little rocking horse with some toy keys in her hand. I asked her where she worked. "On Sabbath", she said. I asked again, and she told me that she works with Daddy.
Ruby, my 0.18% weight/height percentile or something recently told me something like, "I'm big, tall, and strong." Gotta love her view of herself! =)
On Sabbath night, we went to a baby shower for Ms. Nely at Ms. Hannah's house. Ms. Hannah had arranged for a clown to come and entertain the kids and men. From the stories I've heard, they all had a lot of fun. Jadelyn as a bit apprehensive at first, staying REALLY close to David and saying over and over that she didn't like that man, but eventually she warmed up and was right up there saying what balloon she wanted. Wish I'd have made sure that David had the camera! I missed out.

Isaac and His Machines....
Today at lunch, Isaac introduced us to his plans for two machines. One is a car, I believe, that has a button on it. When he gets older, he will push the button on the car and it will drive very, very fast to a nice person's house. He will marry that person. And he will call her "Mommy" and she can call him "Daddy". Ruby told him that the Mommy can call him "Isaac", but he wasn't to be persuaded. =)
Oh, and the other machine? What was it? See, I totally need to write things down right away. =P OH! It has to do with training his dog. Yes, that's it. He is going to have a machine to train his dog so that his dog won't be mean to his kids. All 11 of them. After the dog is trained, Isaac can then get some "sheepies". And I can come visit and ask, "may I pet your sheepies?" And Isaac will say "yes" and take me out into the pasture. For that is where he plans to live with his Mommy, 11 children, machines, sheepies, and dog. In our pasture. Ruby wanted to live in the pasture, too, but Isaac says there will not be room. His eyes lit up as he informed her that she could live in the woods by the bouncey tree so she can bounce whenever she feels like it. And, an added bonus that Isaac thought of, "YOU WON'T HAVE TO MOW!!!" Still, Ruby didn't like this idea. They settled on the idea of her living by the chicken shed. But not IN it, as Isaac suggested. He is planning on keeping his kids in a shed. So they don't get close to the fence. Or something. This kid and his ideas for caging up his children. Seriously. Where does he get THAT from? =P
David, oh, I mean "Alfred" is dressed up as a butler for work today. Including appropriate name-tag, "silver" (aluminum foil-covered) platter and goblet, tuxedo, white towel (he was supposed to borrow one of those from work), and painted-on handlebar mustache. Oh, yeah...he's a hottie! =)
And that is it for now!
