Quotes of the Week

Last Saturday night we were spending some time together all piled up in our bed getting ready for bedtime prayers. Lately during our nighttime prayers with the punks, we have been choosing one specific thing to pray for. This helps them really focus on what they're praying about and keeps them from praying the same prayer over and over...the one that rolled off their tongue in memorized form and if they got out of order they had to start over?.... yeah, that prayer.

Anyway, that night we were specifically praying about something that might be happening in the near future that would entail some time away from home for me. There hasn't been a definite decision about it yet, so we were praying that God will work out all the details if He wants it to happen.

Caleb's prayer was that if I go, I would be safe. Of. Course. Because Caleb is soooooo my son, and he definitely has alot of my characteristics, and that's one thing I pray about alot too. Anyway, Mr. McRecognize.that.someone.might.be.anxious thought it would be fun to play a game of competition between the punks naming stories in the Bible where God miraculously saved someone's life or kept them safe. Do you see how brilliant this man is? I heart him.

So Caleb started and named I think Jonah and the whale. Then Cody went and named Daniel in the lions den. They went back and forth each getting a count to twenty to name the next one. Pretty easy at first, but getting more difficult with each passing turn.

And with that introduction, I give you "Quotes of the Week:"

With his chest puffed out at his turn, Cody proclaimed "Meshach, Reshack and Abednego."

At one point when his time was quickly running out, Caleb exclaimed "the crossing of that sea! What color was it?!"

Cody, impatiently waiting his turn while Caleb is thinking of his answer: "Ohhh! I've got two! Holy crap I'm good."

Quotes of the Day

We had quite a bit of time in the car today, and that usually leads to some weird interesting conversations among the boys. I give you...Quotes of the Day.

Caleb had his bare feet upon the console between the front seats and Cody made the statement "Caleb, your feet are really soft."

Caleb: Thank you.

Cody: That's not good.

Me: Yes, it is.

Cody: I don't want my feet to be soft. I want them to be rough so one day when I'm trapped in the Amazon they will protect me.

Huh?

Cody: I can just sit down and write without thinking what I'm going to write next. It just comes to me.

Caleb: That's not good.

Cody: That's good, right mom?

Me: Depends on what comes out.

Cody: Magic.

Did I happen to tell you that Cody's end of year writing project was entitled "The Three Magical Unicorns" and told the story of how three magical unicorns carried donuts on their horns? Yeah, I thought so.
