After my previous post, y'all are going to think I'm bipolar by following it with today. But geesh, somebody's got to lighten the mood around here, right?
So, here's a long overdue, Das Not Funny! Friday! Not sure what Das Not Funny! Friday is? Click here to find out.

These are from the last several months. Good thing funny stuff doesn't go bad.
I'm sure y'all have noticed that I've not exactly been completely emotionally normal lately. A while back I had been especially short tempered with the kids, yelled at them, said some things that wasn't patient or kind or edifying to a loving environment in our home.
I sat the older four kids down at the table to read to them and before I started, I took a deep breath, began to cry and apologized to them.
"Guys, I'm really sorry. I haven't been kind or gentle or patient with all of you lately. Mommy needs to do better. I'm really, really sorry."
With a sad look on her face, Ashlee climbs into my lap, snuggles up to me, pats me gently and says, "It's okay Mommy. Daddy needs some work too."

Often, when the kids are picking on me Luke will tease with them and tell them to "stop messing with his wife!"
Luke and I were in the kitchen hugging and kissing. Aaron comes into the room, stops in his tracks and says, "Hey! Stop kissing my wife!"
-------
Ashlee is smitten with Abigail. Actually, babies in general. It's not uncommon for Abigail to spend most of her time on Ashlee's hip, wrestling on the floor with Ashlee, kissed by Ashlee, tickled by Ashlee, hugged by Ashlee..... you get the idea. So when Luke offered for Ashlee to give Abigail a bottle while I was at Bible study on Monday night, Ashlee was over the moon happy.
A little while later, I got this text from Luke:
-------
Me: "Ella, please don't play with those, okay?"
Ella: "But Mommy, my tummies are hurtin'!"

Our boys are into anything Ninja/Star Wars/Karate/Army. Basically, your typical boy stuff. Lately, Lucas and Aaron both walk around singing theme songs to the shows they like to watch. Aaron's especially make me giggle.
Aaron: "Teenage Ninja Ninja Turtles. Ninjas in a half shell. Turtle Tower!"
But my favorite is,
"Go, go, go, go, go, go Power Rangers! Mighty, mighty orphan Power Rangers!"
Those poor, orphaned Ninjas. ;)
Y'all have a great weekend.
