Lego lovin'

We went to a consignment sale this weekend. Ethan was the first to spot his favorite, can't live without, toy Legos. We got a huge, huge bag for only 13. Isn't it so hard not to spoil your kids?! When we got home that night after buying them Mark and I started playing with them (bad idea) when Ethan was within ear shot. He kept coming out... and we all ended up playing and building until 11 pm. Ack!! Ethan was up until 11 but it was a sweet night that I hope he will remember. We couldn't send that lego lovin' man to bed when he had all those new fun legos!!

So that was on Thursday... every waking moment since then he has been playing with his legos. Mark jokes that we know Ethan is awake not because he comes into our room and anounces his presence, but because we can hear his lego bag jingling around. He immediately brings them out into the living room, dumps them out, and goes to town playing. So fun for him but oh such a mess to clean up every night! Sure love that boy.

More to come later... fun weekend with the Stewarts (thanks!) and some homemade freezer jam that is so so easy and deeeeeeelicious!!

Ethan's Expressions

10/17/10 Mark came home from a church fireside and Ethan said, "How many fireworks did you see?"
10/1/10 Ethan came home from school and said they made a scarecrow but then said they didn't make it with any "scares" in it.
7/1 Ethan was playing with his good friend Addison outside. Eliza was giving Addison big, cheesy, flirty smiles and, even worse, was blowing kisses at him. I then asked her if she wanted to kiss Addison and she nodded her head yes. Boy crazy already! Ahh!
7/1 Mark was talking about Chris King hubs for your bike which supposedly are the best and, in his words, will outlast the bike rider. Ethan said, "Chris King hubs won't outlast Jesus since Jesus never dies." Smart boy.
12/29 "Eliza thinks Rudolph the Reindeer is HER reindeer." He often comes up with silly things that Eliza "says" like this. He has often told me that Eliza thinks she's a mommy and always is telling him what to do.
12/15 Mark said he would take Ethan on splits with the missionaries if Ethan ate all of his dinner. Ethan said, "Great! But I don't like it (dinner, that is)." He said this about 3:00 before I even started thinking about what we would have for dinner.
12/14 Ethan likes to get into Eliza's crib and play quite often when they're supposed to be sleeping. One night we went to check on them at 10:30 PM (!!) and they were still awake, playing. He excitedly exclaimed to Eliza as we walked in, "It's a miracle we're still awake!!" And then proceeded to ask us, "Is it morning time?"
12/13 Ethan asked me if he could draw all over his body. I cautioned him against it, saying that his body was a temple and that we wouldn't be drawing on the walls of the temple. I wanted him to make his own choice... he thought about it for a while and then asked, "Well then, can I draw a temple on my body?" Smart boy.
