Chair Berries

I fed my kids blueberries a week ago.

Maybe I need to wipe down my chairs more often?

Sharing is Caring

Today, Blake made up a game that resembled, "Memory" but with numbers. He laid out 12 cards on the carpet facing down. I went first, "Mommy, grills, always go first..."

I then began to make matches, that consisted of finding one number, and then the next number that comes after it. That is a match. Example, find the 6 card, now look for the 7. Sometimes, Blake would find two #3 cards, and all of a sudden the rules changed...

When all the cards were picked up, he told me that whoever has the highest stack, wins. My stack included all of the cards, except for the two cards Blake had in his hand.

Then, out of no where he says, "So this is the part in the game where we begin sharing our cards with each other." He took 3-4 out of my hand, and gave me 1. Then he would compare our stacks, and come back for another handful of my cards.

Finally, he sets both stacks next to each other and says with a sly grin, "Good game Mommy, but it looks like I won this hand. Better luck next time."

Pretty in Pink

Yesterday, Dave and I had the rare treat of taking a 3 hour nap, while our children did the same. We had gotten all of our chores done and were resting up for Family Movie Night that included a Pizza Picnic!!! The boys each woke up about 4:45, thus ending our sleepy time as well.

I went in and crawled in bed with Parker. We were in deep discussion about Robots ("Ro-Ros) and T-Rex ("T-T") when Dave came in wearing a light pink Polo.

Parker sits straight up, looks at Dave, looks at me, and says, "No No Daddy!" He points to his shirt and says "Momma!" while shaking his head at Dave.

The Burger King

There he is. You can't deny that a man that wears a paper hat and sports a onesie isn't going to rule the world someday.

God is Bigger Than The Boogie Man

The boys were having hamburgers and milk shakes for lunch today, discussing the almighty, "Monster Dream".

"Parker, don't be scared of monsters. They aren't real. Are you scared of monsters?"

"Sure!" replies Parker.

"Well let me tell you...whenever you start to have a monster dream, you just ask Jesus to come and he will push pause on your dream." Blake walks over to Parker and started pushing on his chest.

"You see Parker, Jesus lives right here, in your heart, so you don't have to be scared of the monsters. He will always be there for you and make sure that you are safe."

Give it up for Jesus.
