Silly Meggie

After getting out of the bath and letting her hair dry without a combing, Megan looked in the mirror and said,

"I look like Alex."

I got a good laugh.

 What do you think?

"There are foy moy dinosoys on the floy near the doy."

If you can understand this sentence CONGRATULATIONS, you understand Meganese.

We ADORE this girl and all of her sweet antics.

Answer: "There are four more dinosaurs on the floor by the door."

Any word that ends with the "or" sound turns into "oy".

The Shiflett's....

...according to Adam.

{Adam drew this in sacrament meeting for Noah. I think its pretty cute.  The likeness is pretty good too with exception to our bird like baby. :) }

Update: When Adam saw this picture, he said "I didn't draw the baby". Well who did?  It was Kyle who added it later after noticing somebody was missing. Love that.

My Megan

I found this on Pinterest and was delighted at how close it resembles MY toddler.

Wanna see something freaky?

Told you. Freaky.

Princess movies...Yay!

My little men are in for a rude awakening. Along with little sisters come princess movies. "Tangled" being the movie in question. They refused to have anything to do with it until Kyle {who wanted to stay with a sitter} talked to his cousin, Will, who had seen it and gave Kyle his okay. Noah wanted to go to Dawn Dawn's house and watch "Star Wars" instead. Turns out....

...they both loved it. {Noah can't stop talking about the part where she gets "tangled up" in her own hair.} Hmmmm, I wonder if "Sleeping Beauty" would go over as well...

...pray for them which despitefully use you...

That is a quote from Mathew 5:44 and no one has applied this more aptly in their lives than our Noah. Every time Noah prays he says something like "thank you for the bad guys", "bless the bad guys" or our personal favorite, "help the bad guys to be good."

Yes our little Noah is obsessed with bad guys. As Kyle puts it, "he has bad buy in his blood." In fact whenever Noah is having a bad day in nursery at church all the teachers know that the way to calm him down is to talk about bad guys. Usually he comes out of class with some kind of depiction of Joker (his favorite bad guy) and a super hero.

Noah's favorite game is to play bad guy with Kyle, who always wants to be the good guy. Noah runs around chasing Kyle, trying to talk as low as he can in a monotone voice saying "Hey, I'm a bad guy."

Luckily the "bad guy" addiction is only skin deep. Noah does not have a bad bone in him. He is sweet and we love him dearly. He has taught us that we need to pray for our enemies... cause someone has to love the bad guy... and that someone is Noah.

--Adam

Noah update: The other night Noah and I were playing when he said to me, "don't do that you freaky bad guy." I took it as a compliment knowing how he feels about bad guys.

Silly Kyle

Kyle's teacher posted on her blog some funny things that some of the kids say. Here are the two she wrote about Kyle:

At the end of class today, we played Simon Says while we waited for the parents to come. Kyle was the Simon. He said "Simon says sit down on the floor". So, we did. Then he sat there for a minute thinking. Finally he said "Simon s... no wait a minute, I'm going to do it without the Simon says".

About a month ago, the class was being a bit noisy. I had reminded them a couple different times that it was my turn to talk. Kyle raised his hand and said "Teacher, sometimes I can't go quiet."

Funny boy.

Big Boy Bed

Good thing we got Noah a nice new big boy bed since this is where he sleeps half the time...

Noah has dubbed the lower bunk- his bed- as the tunnel. The transition from the crib actually went really well after we got through the tears and tantrums of the first two nights AND Kyle slept through all of it. Both the boys are in a really great sleeping pattern. This is good since I will be dealing with a night owl/early bird by the end of February...

Funny kid

kyle

****

The above is from Kyle. He wanted to show everyone that he can type his own name.

Its funny because I am constantly finding his name typed in random places on either my computer or iPhone. It cracks me up. He has caused much confusion doing this- sending emails with just his name or typing on Facebook leaving only his signature, "kyle". So if you get weird emails or the like with just the name kyle you'll know who its from.

You know you're getting old when...

...you're child (Kyle) says that you have "big hills on your forehead" (like when you raise your eyebrows...) *sigh*
