Blunt and Honest 5 year old

So the other day we took a Road Trip package to our neighbors that were going to be going on a long trip to a funeral. While on their porch my 5 yr. old decides to say, "we bought all of them at the dollar store, I wanted them but we had to give them to you." Then just as we were about to leave she tells our wonderful neighbor "see we served you, now it is your turn to serve US!" Totally mortified I pushed my children back into our own house determined to have a discussion in humility.

Then a few days later one of our other neighbors kindly shared some homeade bread and cookies with us during conference. Totally fun! Alexa really enjoyed the bread and Katelynne liked the cookies. Well I forgot to cover the one leftover cookie that night so it was rock hard the next day. Thus when Devin came home he threw it in the garbage and when Kate asked about it he just told her it was too hard to eat.
Well those same neighbors came over that evening and visited for a minute at the doorstep. I left for a few seconds to get something for them and let Katelynne talk to them by herself. (dum da dum dum dummmm). When they left

Katelynne: "Chuck says if you dip the cookies in milk they won't be so hard."
Mom: What did you tell him?
Kate: I told them the cookies they gave us were WAY TOO HARD!
Mom: Silenced into embarrassment...

Lesson learned?..........I think I will do my socializing alone for a while.

3 months and still growing

Russell is now three month and so much bigger than the girls were at his age. He smiles all the time and I almost heard him laugh yesterday. Unfortunately he is currently experiencing his first cold also. Alexa came down with it first then Russell and I and now Katelynne. Devin is trying hard to get past it. I always feel so sad when such a young baby coughs and then cries. His poor hoarse cry is so pitiful. However he slept for about 10 hours last night with only one feeding in the middle so, I hope that will help. I am pretty hopeful we will all be better by this weekend. Yay!

Here are some cute pictures we took on his 3 month day. You can tell he is happy and loves his sisters.
