Out of the Mouth of Babes

The other night we had sent the boys to bed. (They share a room with bunk beds.) Doug was on his way upstairs when Andrew came out of the room crying. Andrew said, "Dad, Jacob just called me stupid." Doug told him he would talk to Jacob. As Doug walked into the room Jacob said, "but Dad I forgot his name."
Are you kidding me. I have laughed and laughed over that one. I never know what Jacob is going to say next!
Also, last week Andrew was sick. I said family prayers and sent the boys to bed. Andrew woke up the next morning and was still sick and was unable to go to school. Later in the day Andrew asked me why he was still sick because I had said a prayer that he would get better. He then said, Mom, you must not have had very much faith when you said your prayer. I laughed and said thanks! Then we had a nice talk about how you don't always get what you pray for.

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...NOOO

Today we woke up to our second sight of snow in the last couple of days. There was more snow earlier, but it has started to melt. The news says we got about 2 inches...WHAT ISN'T IT OCTOBER. I think it will be a LONG winter. I think I will start planning a trip to somewhere warm for Christmas!
