Ethan and Chloe's funnies!

The other night we were having dinner and chatting. Peter was talking about some choices our family has to make when Ethan then quickly jumped in and told Peter that he needs to "choose the left!" We both just about died laughing, making sure we weren't hurting Ethan's feelings. Then Peter, the wonderful, understanding Dad that he is corrected Ethan and even broke out into song singing "Choose the Right". Ethan piped up again and told Peter that he had never heard that song but he will go with choose the right, not the left. So our conversation continued and so did dinner until Ethan then asked: "So then if we choose the left are we making bad choices?" We once again had a good chuckle and explained that there is no such thing as choosing the left unless you are deciding which direction to literally turn.

Ethan is just such a thinker and analyser and we love him for it! He often just blows us away with comments and observations that he makes. Of course most of the time he is your happy-go-lucky 3 yr old boy with all the energy in the world!

Of course I can't post this blog without a blurb about our little Chloe.

She is alot more feisty than her brother yet she also has a tender sweet side. For example she has caught onto blessing our meals really quickly. About a week ago she too started folding her arms and now even loves to say the prayer.(of course we don't understand a word, but we all chime in an Amen when she goes quiet) Yesterday we spent the day out and about as a family(Peter finally had a whole day off) and we ate lunch out. Once we were all seated with our food in front of us, Chloe then folded her arms. We usually don't bless our meals in restaurants, but thanks to our little angels example we all folded our arms, bowed our heads and blessed our lunch. Her angelic behavior pretty much ended there!

Love the blessing story. That is SO sweet.
I had to laugh with "choose the left!" I love how much Ethan was processing when he came back with choosing the left meaning we chose the wrong. What a smart little boy! We have had Zeb for spring break and it has been SO nice to have him home. Don't you love the "extra days" we get here and there?
P.S. I don't think I will ever have a pool for that reason. Claire almost fell in a high and fast moving ditch when she was 2 and I don't think I have ever been the same. It was the scariest moment of my life. I am now very paranoid and panic over nothing. No pools for me. What a boring mom I am!
