dear emily,
when our five kiddos were growing up, we had lots of fun taking them
exciting places. staying within our four walls led to restlessness, which
led to broken windows. it was a nice change of scenery to just get out.
managing five young children outside those four walls, created its own
conundrum. how to keep them safe and other people safe from them!
sometimes, hans would take the boys, and i would take the girls.
one time he said, "you take the two big kids, and i will take the three
little kids."
the middle kid, max, was perplexed. "dad, did you just call us the
three little pigs?"
so now we do.
love,
lea

Cute story Tea.
So funny!
So funny!
too funny
and sometimes the lines of distinction were a little blurred... our kids often WERE little pigs, especially the boys!! :)
conundrum. just about my favorite white wine.
love this story, Lea. so cute!
I love how children can get things so mixed up and they become precious memories. That is so cute Lea!
I bet the "two big kids" still get a kick out of that.
This little piggy...
I went to the Geico website and downloaded the piggy squeal, "WEEEE, WEEEE, WEEEE!" I forgot to put my cell phone on vibrate at a church meeting and it went off... AWKWARD!
As always, love your post!
So sweet.:)
Too cute. Humor runs in the family (:
It's lovely to have these stories to share with the kids when they grow up. We told our girls once that doctors have to taste your wee to tell what was wrong with you (one of them had to give a urine sample).
They believed this for years. Now it's a story we all laugh about.
Haha! What a sweet story...I love it! Thank you for your uplifting posts Lea. :)
Lovely post, Lea! Hilarious!!
I love Chanel 19, too! I wear 5, 19, 22 and Coco Mademoiselle... I get many compliments on 19 when I wear it. It is said to be Coco's favourite fragrance as well, marking the date of her birth.
Wishing you a lovely week! xoxo, B
Haha! Too cute!
Blessings & Aloha!
