My tummy hurts...

I am going to try and start writing down the cute things my kids say because more and more I am finding holes in my memory.  Don't worry about me, I am hoping it is temporary condition due to the babies that are sucking up all my nutrients.  It seems like the little buggers have moved on to my brain because I could not even remember the pin number to my debit card and had to use the credit option today.  Man, was that awkward at the checkout stand. 

ANYWAY... Marshall has chronic stomach aches.  He will come up to me and tell me his tummy hurts and like any good mother I start questioning him about bowel movements.  He affirms that he does not have to potty and tells me "my babies are kicking me!" 

It was Cooper's turn to say the prayer over lunch at pre-school the other day and I happened to be in the lunch room.  Cooper starts out sweetly thanking our lord and savior for the beautiful day he has given us, the babies in momma's tummy (awe!)  and then asks God to forgive Marshall for hitting him while they were playing trains the other day.  Everyone thinks this is so cute and all I can think about it how Cooper started this fight the day before by hitting Marshall. 

Makes me think of this passage from  Luke 6:42 - "Or how canst thou say to thy brother, Brother, let me cast out the mote that is in thine eye, when thou thyself beholdest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, cast out first the beam out of thine own eye, and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote that is in thy brother's eye."

So I hate to blog without a picture so here is recent one of the boys:
