My kids are the funniest people I know...here are just a few of the hilarious things they have said and done this week.
* Sunday night, Manning asked what we having for supper. I said," lasagna." He says, "Janya?" and was quiet for a few seconds. He quickly responded with, "But I thought the whale ate him." HAHAHAHA! No, Manning that was Jonah- but awesome that you remember the Bible story.
*I am bad- REALLY bad at remembering to water my flowers. One day last week we were coming inside and Manning says, "Momma, you need to water your flowers." I agreed but obviously not with as much conviction as Manning wanted because he continued. "Momma, the flowers are going to die if you don't water them." Okay, Okay, Okay. He is a persistent little thing!
*Myers' favorite word right now is ball....but he does not say it the way the rest of us do. He makes it about 30 secs long. BBBBBBBB-AAAAAAAAA-LLLLLLLL-LLLLLLLL. And then he repeats himself. Imagine our ride to school. BBBBBBB-AAAAAA-LLLLL-LLLLLLL. Manning screaming," Mom, he said ball." BBBBBBB-AAAAAA-LLLLLLL-LLLLLLL! Manning, "He did it again!" And repeat over and over!
* I have been pretty sick this pregnancy and the boys have started to notice. The other day Manning told me that he sure hoped this baby came out of me soon! Sorry, buddy, it (hopefully) is going to be quite a while longer.
*We were out of milk the other morning so I gave Myers juice instead. He (with his 14 month old self) pushes the juice cup off the high chair and says, "MIK!" He knows what he wants!
So thankful for my two little guys and so excited about our newest addition!

Baby Hatchell #3
The last few weeks have been crazy busy. We have been on vacation, had a 3rd birthday party, started a summer pre-school (the boys attend and I teach), played t-ball, and found out we were having our third baby! So far everyone I talk to about my pregnancy asks the same three questions:
1. "Was this a surprise?" No, we were trying. We love the age difference (22 months) between Manning and Myers and there will be almost the exact same between Myers and the new baby. We love that our boys are friends. We pray that they will always be close and take care of each other.
2. "Are you sick?" Yes, yes, yes. I felt awesome with boys! I even went so far as to brag about how great I felt when I was pregnant. Everything I said I never had. I have now....nausea, fatigue, moodiness, bad skin, etc. However, all of that is worth it. I know what the reward is and I would be willing to feel like this forever if it meant God blessing us with a healthy baby!
3. The "are you sick" conversation is usually followed up with, "Do you think it is a girl?" Honestly I have no idea. Yes, I feel different this time but it is 100 degrees outside and I am busy taking care of a 3 yr old and a 1 yr old. I truly have no preference. I love my boys so much and I love being their momma. There is a special love between a mother and her son. So yes, it would be nice to experience a girl, but on the otherhand what could be more fun than 3 boys!?
What's your opinion? Will we stay on team blue or will we have a girl this time? We should know in mid-August!
