Last night, 8 pm<\/strong><\/p>\nThe minions (jumping out of a closet): \u201cSurprise!\u201d<\/p>\n
Me (angry face): \u201cThat is a TERRIBLE surprise! I told you to stop hiding and get in bed!!\u201d<\/p>\n
Liam: \u201cThat is a terrible surprise! I told you to stop hiding and get in bed! I\u2019M SO PREGNANT!\u201d<\/p>\n
The Ogre: *dies laughing*<\/p>\n
This morning, 4:30 am<\/strong><\/p>\nLincoln (who woke up at 3:00 with dreadful croup): *cough cough, wheeze wheeze, seal bark, whimper* \u201cI so sorry, Mama.\u201d<\/p>\n
Me: \u201cWhat are you sorry for, buddy?\u201d<\/p>\n
Lincoln: \u201cI sorry for coughing on you.\u201d<\/p>\n
Me: *melts, smothers him with kisses*<\/p>\n
This morning, 6 am<\/strong><\/p>\nSienna: \u201cMom, why are you sitting up in the chair with Lincoln?\u201d<\/p>\n
Me: \u201cHe\u2019s got croup and was up coughing most of the night. He can\u2019t breathe when he lays down, so we spent a lot of the night in the chair.\u201d<\/p>\n
Sienna: \u201cWow, so you didn\u2019t get much sleep? And you\u2019re still happy and not yelling?\u201d<\/p>\n
Me: \u201cI know, right? It\u2019s like a Christmas miracle.\u201d<\/p>\n
Sienna: \u201cThat\u2019s really impressive, Mom. You\u2019re getting better.\u201d<\/p>\n
This morning, 7:40 am<\/strong><\/p>\nCharlotte: \u201cLook, Mom, a rainbow!\u201d<\/p>\n
Me: \u201cOh yeah, there is a rainbow over your school! How pretty.\u201d<\/p>\n
Charlotte: \u201cYou know, a rainbow is God\u2019s promise to us.\u201d<\/p>\n
Me: \u201cThat\u2019s right. And what is the promise?\u201d<\/p>\n
Charlotte: \u201cThat next time, He\u2019ll only drown the bad people.\u201d<\/p>\n
Me: \u201c\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
Liam: \u201cThat means you, Charlotte.\u201d<\/p>\n
