Straight From the Horse's Mouth

I want to be with
Mommy as much as God likes
Us to do good things.

A Week In A Day

While out and about,
We did so many great things.
What's left for Sunday?

While Reading Batman At Bedtime

You ask hard questions
Like "What's a good punishment?"
What's a good answer?

The Speizers' New Identity

Yoni changed all our names:
Balloon Piper Starburst is
Who we all are now.

Mommy Time

You sat with mommy
As she read you a story
In your rocking chair.

Siblings At Play

I'm washing dishes
As you dive on couch pillows
With your big brother.

Until We Meet Again (At 3 AM When I Am Screaming)

Daddy, kiss my nose.
And my eyebrows and cheeks, too.
And my ears and chin.

Long, Long Weekend

When cleaning my car
Feels like a reprieve from kids:
Must be Sunday night.

Bedtime Oath

Daddy, I promise:
I will only come upstairs
If I feel lonely.

Heavy Duty Threats

If you leave your room
One more time tonight, I swear,
I'll put up the gate!

Fall

The leaves are turning.
Our shorts are packed in storage.
We have no babies.

Sunset With a Smile

Sometimes I wonder
At the sweetness which exudes
From such a small boy.

Rainy Tuesday

Drive on past the house,
Too tired to cook dinner.
Blessed with a sweet life!

Additon

Over-tired girl
Plus a fall from the sofa
Equals sprained ankle :-(

The Ancients Spill The Beans

In the olden days,
I had a sip of coffee.
It didn't taste good.

Velcro

You like to tell me
That my hair feels like velcro
Then kiss me goodnight.

Wrestling With Daddy

Standing on my back
And tumbling to the floor,
Smiling all the while.

At Least You Said "Excuse Me"

Always unpleasant:
We're in a public place and
You fart in my lap.

Buried Treasure

Imagine the thrill,
The glow in your little eye:
You found a blue bead!

Worst Kept Secret

As the day winds down,
Everyone will be at
The school's secret tree

Fairy Tale

Jack and the bean stalk:
That Jack's a no good butt head!
Don't grow up like that.

Communication

When did you begin
Speaking to one another
Without translators?

Daytime Insomnia

Up at 5:30
And you went without a nap.
Thank God for Grammie!

Busy Day

I only saw you
For a few minutes today.
I miss my babies!

Hot Dog!

Sharing a hot dog,
Your face full of condiments
Affirms your pleasure.

Nocturne

Shira cries, "Mama!"
As crickets sing in the night:
Perfect harmony.

Huh?

I laugh when you say,
"My armpit's a suction cup,"
For there is no choice.

Shira's Dinner-Time Words of Wisdom

I want my own cake.
I don't want dessert, just cake.
Can I have your cake?

Date Night

A babysitter
Is like a gift from heaven!
Now where should we go?

The Ugly Truth

I get so annoyed,
But I chuckle inside when
You annoy mommy!
