Always Thinking

Remember Becky’s heavenly musings?  Well, apparently my noncommittal answer didn’t satisfy her, because she asked me again recently.  Only this time she came up with her own answer:

Becky: “Will there be food in heaven?

Me: “I don’t know…I think so.”

Becky: “I think there’ll only be bread and wine.”

Becky’s collection is still going strong.  She’s got grand plans for it, too:

Becky: “I wish I could shrink the whole world into a tiny ball and then put the ball in my collection.”

Me, after Susie’s crayons were hovering dangerously close to the wall: "You can only write on paper.”

Susie: “If you live in a paper house, you can write on everything.”

And here is Jimmy’s first entry into my “sayings” blog posts!

When we were watching the movie, “Finding Nemo,” there was a scene where the screen became dark and the music ominous.  Jimmy softly announced, “Spooky.”

Like Mother, Like Daughter

As a young girl, I remember loving a clean room and spending a lot of time picking up and organizing my belongings (where’s that energy now when I need it?).  I also distinctly remember being inspired by a certain Berenstain Bears book to keep my room clean.  Guess what book the girls recently chose from the library?

And no sooner had I finished reading it to Susie than she looked around, declared her room to be too messy, and asked for boxes (from Costco, specifically) to organize her stuff.  I guess the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree!  Now I can only hope that Susie sticks with it longer than I did!

Becky is such a huge help with Danny these days.  I’m so thankful for her!

Dip in the Pool

We recently opened up the pool, so the kids were excited to try it out for the first time this year.  They declared it too cold to do any swimming, but they thoroughly enjoyed splashing around.

Danny stayed high and dry, but he didn’t seem to mind!

If It’s Yellow…

Where’s the best place to showcase fresh flowers from our yard (a.k.a. weeds)?

Why, in a “flower pot,” of course!

I guess that “pot” has many uses!
