It's been a long time since I actually sat at the computer and wrote a blog post. Life seems to have gotten in the way of my little ol' bloggity blog, but if you've been checking back over the last few weeks thank you so much. Please know that all is well with the Parker four. Ryan and Evan are growing like weeds and growing UP even more! Oh my, three is a tough age! Ryan and Evan definitely have their own opinions and they are more than happy to let us know what it is they want, don't want, will do, and won't do! Case in point? Before I snapped this picture this morning I had a two minute argument with Evan about the shoes that he would wear to church. He insisted that he would not wear these shoes, that he would wear his "brown" shoes. But, Evan these shoes are brown, I tried to explain. He was having none of it! Well, of course I got my way, but the drama! And Ryan? Ha! He'll inform us in a minute that, and I quote, "I'm mad! I'm going to my room!" Oh boy! It gets real around these parts folks! BUT, I must say that they are still super sweet and funny. Sometimes I just listen in on their conversations and crack up laughing. And the questions they ask us? Let's just say I won't be posting those on the web, but let me tell you! You can't pull anything over on these two. They are smart as a whip. They know their full names, how to spell their own names and each others, they know our full names ( I'm Mommy Mistee Joy Parker), how to count to 100, they know their birthday, their address, and we're working on their phone number. They can identify all the letters in the alphabet and we're working on a few sight words. We're working hard (along with their teacher) with these two.
They are excited about Christmas this year! Though they are not exactly sure what this means, they kinda get it. We asked them what they want and Ryan is pretty easy to please. He wants a birthday hat, of all things. Evan wants an Ipad with a blue cover O_o . Guess which one of these he won't be getting! We drive all over our neighborhood each evening to look at Christmas decorations. Ryan, especially, gets really excited. I love to hear him say, "It's Christmas time, Mommy." It's our favorite time of the year!
