Thoughts...

~Love is when you kiss all the time. Then when you get tired of kissing, you still want to hold hands and be together and you talk and talk and talk some more. My Mommy and Daddy are like that. They look really gross when they kiss.~

~Childhood is a journey, not a race.~

What's in a moment? Cherish this moment...acknowledge this moment...own this moment;for this moment is your life...

We spend the first twelve months of our children's lives teaching them to walk and talk and the next twelve telling them to sit down and shut up.
Phyllis Diller


Cleaning your house while your kids are still growing up is like shoveling the walk before it stops snowing. ~Phyllis Diller


Children are contemptuous, haughty, irritable, envious, sneaky, selfish, lazy, flighty, timid, liars and hypocrites, quick to laugh and cry, extreme in expressing joy and sorrow, especially about trifles, they'll do anything to avoid pain but they enjoy inflicting it: little men already. ~Jean de La Bruyère,
Les Caractères, 1688

Think what a better world it would be if we all - the whole world - had cookies and milk about three o’clock every afternoon and then lay down with our blankies for a nap. ~Robert Fulghum, All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten

"Children have neither past nor future; they enjoy the present, which very few of us do." ~Jean de la Bruy

The Gabriel Chronicles

As promised a glorious peak in my day to day world with littlest of the four, he's 3 yrs. old and his thoughts and rational go way beyond his years. Gabriel is as loving, curious,persistent and free-spirited as they come. His is a beautiful, intelligent little ball of energy that is constantly on the go. Although he is the youngest in age he believes at all times that he is running the show! His favorite response to " We don't do that" is "YES I DO"! This morning as I was trying to hold a phone conversation, which in this house is nearly impossible, as I turned and left the kitchen for a moment he had a hand full of rice in one hand and a mouth full he had already tried to eat and starting spitting out on the kitchen floor! As I was cleaning up the rice fiasco, which by the way was a good 1/2 of the bag he had also managed to retrieve two screwdrivers and thought he was going to take apart the bottom kitchen cabinets. As I took them away, while he wailed from the top of his lungs...he then professed to me his classic"I'm so Sorry" as he batted his long eye lashes and I'm telling you now it gets me every time!!! So the rice has been cleaned up, screw drivers secure in the tool box and my little man is zooming through the house right now trying to decide what he'll get into next. It's only 11:00 am and the day is still very young...and there's so much more he could manifest. Keep checking in and you'll have plenty to keep you amused, until next time...oh and by the way Gabriel has declared himself a nudist already and yes although he was dressed only moments ago..he is stark naked doing a lap around the dining room table!
