This weekend is Mother’s Day… and what makes you more that a mom than the babes that made you a mom?!?!

I LOVE these babes that changed my life forever and sometimes {aka every year at Mother’s Day} I like to be reminded that I am important to my family. It’s hard work being a momma and sometimes it is a VERY thankless job. This is where leaning on God in the hard will always work and leaning on the approval of man {aka those little babes} will only leave you feeling defeated and like there as got to be more to life than spit up and spilt milk.

But I have also learned in this “mommy journey” that my kids are hilarious and adorable and that if I am not paying attention, I can miss some funny things!

Enter: Out of the Mouth of Babes!!!!

I have decided that since I find my kids so funny and entertaining…. you might too… but mostly so I will always have this documented…. ya know, for those times I need something to embarrass my son with in front of his girlfriend someday {gulp… he will NEVER have a girlfriend right?!?!?!} or Henley gets up on her high horse and needs to be knocked down a few pegs…

I am starting a series called…

Out of the Mouth of Babes

This will not be a weekly thing or even a monthly thing.. or a first and third Monday of the month thing…

This will be a “When Mommy Feels Like It” thing.

I will start off by saying:

My kids are incredible little people!!!!

They are:

Strong
Sweet
Adorable
Caring
Funny
Hilarious
Lovely little people!!!!

I NEVER THOUGHT IN A MILLION YEARS I WOULD HAVE TO SAY some of the things that I do…

EVER!!!!

But alas… I have children… and they do and say the darnest things… so I have to say some of the craziest things too….

Sentences I never thought would proceed from my mouth & and conversations I never thought I would have:

Things like:

1. “Henley, stop yelling at the laundry basket.”

2. This was while we were driving down our gravel road to go into town:

“Mom!!!! Look at those cows!!!! I wish I could eat the cow!!! I want to eat it in STEW!!!!!” – Henley

3. This one was the sweetest innocent question from my super tender-hearted son B:

“How did Jesus get those nails out of him?” – Brecken

4. In a sing-song voice while “nursing” her baby,

“Babies don’t like coffee coffee coffee… they like bweastmilk.” – Henley

5. Random… because he wasn’t throwing up:

“Mom!!!! That sneeze made me stop throwing up!!!” – Brecken

6. Mom: “I think I want to tickle!!!!”

B: “I want a pickle!!!!”

7. This is from the wise and older-than-his-years B:

(In a very matter-of-fact voice) “Mom, sometimes if a mom gives a child too many apples the child doesn’t eat them all… and that’s ok.” – Brecken

8. “Henley, what’s mommy’s name?” -Me

“Your name is Mommy Elizabeth Fisher… some people call you Joanne” -Henley

Almost right baby girl;-)

9. “I just like coffee and wine…” -Brecken (sitting in the back seat of the van… that could be taken the wrong way if said in public… it’s “kid wine” that he likes that needs to be clarified;-)

10. And for the last one for this post: a conversation that still seems like it should never happen but here it is:

And yes… all of these things are DIRECT quotes…

Straight from the Mouth of Babes.

Happy Mother’s Day!!!! Enjoy those babes this weekend… it is because of them you have a reason to celebrate and relax… and hopefully get pampered to death;-),

From a Mom with Adorable Kids (minus the eating dog food part;-)
