Bling Bling Ring Ring

We ran to the mall this morning after a wild time at Jump Planet and hopped into a jewelry store to get my ring cleaned. While we were waiting for the sparkles to reappear, Blake pulled up a stool and started pouring over the most beautiful diamond rings. He looked the lady square in the face and said, "I want to get my Mommy one of these." They worked together at selecting the perfect diamond ring for me while I pretended not to look. My favorite line consisted of, "No, no, my Mommy wouldn't want that one. She wants one with a bigger diamond." I LOVE this kid!

Flying to Heaven

My dearest Grammy went to be with Jesus last Wednesday. Blake understands that Jesus invited her to dinner at "The Welcome Table" (thanks to children's singer Dan Zanes) and she accepted his offer. Today we were listening to a song in the car about Heaven and Blake asked when we would be able to go to Heaven. "I want to see Grammy and Jesus." I told him someday we will go. He asked me if we could fly there. I said, "Why not? But how would we fly there?" Blake told me that we would take a hot air balloon. He then said that we needed to bring bagels to Jesus for dinner. How thoughtful of Blake, considering that Jesus would normally insist we bring nothing! He then told me that Parker would need to take his own hot air balloon, as the two of us would be traveling together. BYOB. (Bring your own Balloon) Check check.

Update (June 14th, 2008): As of last Sunday, and a trip to Seattle Children's Theatre, Blake decided a direct route to heaven would consist of taking the elevator to the top of the Space Needle. Makes sense.
