Henry found the last bit of the cheddar flavored pretzels, and Ivy came up and asked for some too. He stalled for a minute, looking for an excuse to not have to share. Then he solemnly declared, “Ivy, the Bible says ‘If a man does not work, he shouldn’t eat.’” #SayingsofHenry

Spurgeon caught Ivy slipping a piece of candy out of his special box and he went over to stop her shouting “Ivy!” Ivy immediately began to look intently at the writing on the wrapper and yelled back, “I just want to read it!” #SayingsofIvy

Ben was discussing with the kids in family devotions about how Adam and Eve sinned by eating the forbidden fruit in the garden of Eden. Spurgeon piped up: “Yeah, then they had-ed to get underwear!” #SayingsofSpurgeon #SeewaldKidsSay

Henry: “Why are there pots on the road?” Me: “Pots?” Henry: “Yeah, not the kind of pots you cook with, but the kind of pots that are on the road.” #SayingsofHenry #SeewaldKidsSay

I asked Spurgeon what he wanted to eat for his bedtime snack. His straightforward reply: “Can I have two cheese sticks to make me constipated, and then grapes to make me not constipated?” #SayingsofSpurgeon #SeewaldKidsSay

Spurgeon: “Mommy, can I have one of those things that Jed was eating?” Me: “What was it?” Spurgeon: “It was like ice cream in the middle with two pieces of black bread on the top and bottom.” #SayingsofSpurgeon #SeewaldKidsSay

Points to Bible storybook picture of the Nativity— “There’s Mary… and there’s Jonah!” #SayingsofIvy #SeewaldKidsSay

Ben and Ivy had been sick for about a week, but were finally on the mend. Me: “God helped Daddy to feel better.” Ivy: “God helped Ivy to feel better.” Me: “God is so kind.” Ivy: “Uh-huh, and He has candy in His pocket.” #SayingsofIvy #SeewaldKidsSay

Ivy to me: “Where’s your Ben Seewald?” #SayingsofIvy #SeewaldKidsSay

Ivy was sitting at the table eating when she let out a little burp. She exclaimed, “I tooted in my mouth!” #SayingsofIvy #SeewaldKidsSay

When we pulled up in my parents’ driveway, Ben typed in the gate code and it said “Access granted.” As the gate started to swing open, Henry questioned from the back seat, “Why does the gate always say ‘Texas grandkid?’” #SayingsofHenry #SeewaldKidsSay

Spurgeon: “When I grow up I want to have a sports car.” Henry: “Yeah, and I will ride with you in the other seat.” Spurgeon: “Well, if I’m not married, if we are bachelors, you can ride with me… Or else we can get a car with four seats.” #SayingsofSpurgeon #SeewaldKidsSay

In the early hours of the morning, it sounded like someone in the boys’ room was waking so I went to check in. Henry was barely stirring, and the first words out of his mouth were, “It’s Sunday... Chick-fil-A is closed.” #SayingsofHenry #SeewaldKidsSay

After conversing with a little friend of his, Spurgeon reported to me, “She said, ‘Eat your boogers! They taste like ice cream!’ So I tasted it but it didn’t taste like ice cream. It was re-scgusting!” #SayingsofSpurgeon #SeewaldKidsSay

As we were riding in the car, Henry announced from the back seat, “1 is pee and 2 is poop.” Spurgeon corrected matter-of-factly, “Actually 1 is toot, 2 is pee, 3 is poop, and 4 is diarrhea.” #SayingsofSpurgeon #SeewaldKidsSay

Ivy was kicking in Henry’s direction, & he was considering retaliation when Spurgeon restrained him saying, “Come on— it says ‘Love your enemies!” Then he added “Don’t be behind your enemies or else they will kick you. Be in front of your enemies or something.” #SayingsofSpurgeon

I was about to kill a wasp that I’d found on the kitchen window sill, but then Spurgeon spoke up, “The Bible says ‘Love your enemies,’ and that could mean even wasps, because they sting. So maybe we should just let it out of the window.” #SayingsofSpurgeon #SeewaldKidsSay

She dressed herself and was so proud of her accomplishment!

This boy has the sweetest heart. He ADORES his baby sister and whenever she’s feeling blue, he always knows how to make her giggle. I took this video last night before bed, Christmas Eve 2021. 🤍🤍
