what's that you say?

Here are some funny things overheard at the Jones house within the past 24 hours:

5 min ago~
Me:  Paige!  Get out of there!  Parker just went pee in that corner!  *they were playing outside and I had just happened to see Parker drop his drawers over in his favorite corner--it must be a pre-programmed male trait--and then the next minute I saw Paige playing in the very same spot.  nice.*

1 hour ago~
Paige:  Can I have a sticker, peese?!
Me:  No, we get stickers if we keep our diaper clean during naptime.  But if you keep your underwear clean until bedtime, you can have a sticker.
Paige:  Can I have a sticker, peese?!
Me:  ....

she is very much into repetitive questions

Almost 24 hrs ago~

Parker:  Mom, did somebody put the baby down your throat?
Me:  No….
Parker: Then how did it get there? 
Me: Mom and Dad worked together to put it there
Parker:  But how did it get there?
Me: With lots of love. 
Parker:  How did the love put it there?
Me: seriously?  Stop asking… and then ensued a very miniature, hopefully age appropriate, lesson about how an egg is fertilized and becomes a baby with Heavenly Father's help.
Parker:  Oh.  Okay! 

Really?  He’s not even 4!

Too cute! I really need to call you-we have too much to catch up on. Don't worry about checking my blog-I seriously don't have time to update it. Adam gives me a hard time about it all the time. Kent spoke in church on Sunday. He is so cute. I can't believe how big our brothers have gotten. I hope you are doing well. Love you HUGE!
