Now, about this alternate universe I’ve entered…
I thought some of these changes might happen gradually, but no, last Monday night…BAM. I had no idea what hit me!
In one evening…
*BOTH boys ate BROCCOLI.
*BOTH boys ate YELLOW PEPPER.
*BOTH boys ate strawberries, and one is now in love with them.
*BOTH boys completely cleaned their plates at dinner.
*Big J decided he wasn’t going to take baths anymore. He was going to take a shower. By himself. This boy HATED showers. Now, it’s the only way he wants to get clean. And he even asks to take a shower on non-bath/shower days. He is five.
What is going on in this house? What happened to my children?
{By the way, NOT complaining at all – jut in shock. Still.}
What have your children done to surprise you lately?

I'm Erin, a wife, boy mom x 3, writer, and runner in Nebraska! I'm excited to share all my favorites relating to faith, family, fashion, and fitness in this space! Enjoy! 
That is amazing for one evening and all at one dinner sitting! Aww, love the photos with your parents and hubby–how sweet.
Gotta go Google the Nutella bread recipe. Yummmm, with coffee.
Oh, there’s a photo missing–we need to see you in the pink bathrobe! Maybe for What I Wore Wednesday??? hmmmm?
Great pics along with the blessings! Hooray for trying new things! Molly hates showers, too, so I am waiting for the day that she will want to! Can’t wait for October!!
What a night! 🙂
Hi! I’m coming over today from Ann’s blog–you posted after me in the link-up. I loved reading your list today. And YUM– Nutella Banana Bread?! I’ve never heard of it but I happen to have 3 over-ripe bananas sitting in my fruit basket that are begging me to make this! I’m interested in your upcoming 31 day series! Sounds great! Now following! 🙂
I remember around the time Kiddo decided showers were better than baths…or was that me? LOL!
I have decided to jump into the 31 Day ring…EEK! Thirty-one days of Worship. Again…EEK!
I wanted to take Anthony to The Lion King this weekend – he loves that movie, but said he’d seen it and didn’t want to spend money on it. Fail. LOL
On the alternate universe portion, Isaac ate corn TWICE last week (in casseroles but he always still knows) without whining!! Woohoo!
That dough/amazingness is unreal!! That is a recipe you need to post for sure…so delish…
Hand Stamped Necklaces
Oh, how i miss being close to our kids grandparents 🙁 They are such a gift. Cherish them!
And my oldest (almost 5 yo) just in the past couple weeks has gone from hating coloring to loving it! Crazy!
Blessings to you all the way from Uganda!
