Pizza and movie night

Tonight we had homemade pizza and movie night. We watched Peter Pan for the first time. At the end of the movie, Noah said, "hey Dad, Peter Pan saved the day." He loved it! A fun time was had by all... Except maybe Eve.

One month

Esther got out of bed tonight saying she needed to go teetee. She went potty then went back up to bed. A couple minutes later she came back down.
Me: Get back in your bed.
Esther: my tummy hurts.
Me: your tummy hurts? Do you need to go potty? go potty or get back in bed.
Esther: I need to go potty
Me: are you going poopoo or teetee?
Esther: teetee
Me: you just went. You need to get back in bed.
Esther: I need to go poopoo.
Me: if poopoo does not come out of your bottom, you will get a spanking for lying.
Esther: um, I don't need to go potty.

She is a mess!

The top picture is her getting ready to go to the car so we can go through the chick fil a drive thru. We weren't even planning on getting out of the car, but she still had to bring all this stuff. The second picture is her dressed to go eat at BlueCoast Burrito. She is definitely one of a kind. :)

Noah's rules and planets

Noah's rules that he just shared with me:
1. Don't get out of bed
2. God is our father
3. Don't not eat your food and then say your hungry later
Good words to live by. :)

Noah has recently been very interested in the planets. The other day he was trying to teach Esther all the names.

Noah: and that one is Uranus
Esther: myanus
Noah: no, no, no. UR-anus
Esther: yeah, myanus
Noah (getting very frustrated): NO ESTHER! It's URanus
Esther: yep. Myanus.

Here he is with the solar system he made out of playdough. The stacking rings are the rings around Saturn and Uranus. :)

Soccer

Noah is playing soccer for the first time this year. He is so excited! Brian took him to the store to buy shin guards, cleats, and a ball. He slept in his new shin guards for the first couple nights and likes to put on his cleats and run outside to show us how much faster he can run in them. His first day was this past weekend and I missed it (thanks to Eve), but I heard it was a huge success. Can't wait to see him!
P.S. We tried to get him to wear soccer socks over his shin guards, but he wouldn't do it. He wanted everyone to see his new shin guards and how they matched his ball. :)

Eve Elizabeth Hughes

Baby Names

We have been trying to come up with a name for our new baby girl...sort of...not really trying that hard. We haven't really had a chance to think or talk about it yet. Noah, however, has been coming up with names for us though. The first long standing pick was Elizabeth. Not sure where he got it because I don't know that he knows any Elizabeths, but not too bad. The second name was Sally. Now there is nothing wrong with the name Sally, just not really our style. We were rather relieved when he named his new stuffed shark Sally instead. Pressure's off. Tonight he came up with a new name. He walked up to me and said in his most serious, sweetest voice, "Mommy, I know what we can name out new baby girl. We can name her Wonderheart Claire Hughes." It was super sweet and super funny. I was trying to act very serious so as not to crush his spirit, but Brian ducking his head to conceal his laughter did not help. Probably not going to end up naming her Wonderheart, but it was a valiant effort. :)
