Another blog post I never finished...

This blog post from October/November of 2013 was never finished...

Caedon
Caedon is 2 months away from being 4 years old (tear!).

Common Caedon Phrases:
1. Actually... (Well, actually...this is in almost every sentence he says.  For example, "Do you want to read a book, Caedon?"  "Well, actually I want to play in the playroom, Mom. I actually think that would be fun").
2. I don't ever want to stop __________. (driving the tractor, playing the game, reading books, etc.)
3. Easy as pie! (I don't think he's ever made a pie before...)
And my personal favorite phrase:
3. Holy moly! Puddin' pie! Like a diamond in the sky! Put it in the roll and put in the oven. Bring it out and then make it and then put it back in the oven and then bring it out and then let it cool off and then eat it.

Yes, that is the whole thing he says.  Chase and I have it memorized, too.  No clue where it came from, but it is the exact same every time.  He says it at least three times a day, and is used in the place where a normal person would just say, "Holy Moly!" or "Holy Cow!" Not Caedon, though...

Tonight it snowed for the first time this winter.  All year, we had been telling Caedon that is birthday was a long way away, not until it snowed.  So he was pretty sure his birthday was tonight when we looked outside and it was snowing.  Caedon wants a riding lawnmower for his birthday/Christmas.  A real grow-up one, not a play one.

We have a lot of conversations about God and afterlife.  He asks a lot of questions - Where is God? Where is God's house? Are you alive after you die? Do animals go to be with God? Some of the questions I have to think of a good way to explain it to a three year old.  As I am writing this, I hear him telling Daddy upstairs (while brushing his teeth), "God is everywhere. God is around Santa, too."  We have been looking at a world map every now and then and tonight while looking I asked him who lived at the North Pole.  He said God lived there, and I told him he was right, God is everywhere.

Also, I don't know if you have ever met Puma, another member of our family.  It is our Roomba, a robot vacuum.  Caedon has named it Puma, probably because he got it confused the the name Roomba.  I find it weird that it has been named, like a pet.  Frankly, it does make me feel more fond of it!

Drake
Drake is obsessed with toothbrushes. He is always finding one that isn't his and using it. Mostly on his teeth.  Sometimes other places.  That makes the rest of us really happy...hahaha.  Currently, he got both Chase's and mine out of the drawers.  He is taking the one out of his mouth to try and put in my mouth.  Good thing I love him!
