Venting to the Heavens

So Zane gets out of the bath and looks up at the ceiling.

"Hey God!" he yells.

After a brief pause, "I'm talking to you through that white thing up there!"

New Heights

So I was driving Wyatt to school the other day. While we waited in the drop off line I noticed he was looking out of the window and was deep in thought.

I asked, "What are you looking at?"

He replied, "The trees."

"Are you wondering how tall they are? How old they are? Or when their leaves will grow back?"

"Nope," he says with a smile. "I was thinking how easy it would be to climb them."

Little Known Facts

So Colt walks into the kitchen and says, "I am the only ninja you know."

Armload of love

So we took the boys on a spontaneous trip to Dollywood.  It wasn't until we were standing in line for the tram to the park that I realized I had forgotten a stroller.

I expressed my frustration to Joe.  Zane just looked up at me and smiled.  "It's okay Mommy." He said, "you carry me!"

By the end of the day my arms and back ached, but a part of me was thankful.  I spent the whole day with my beautiful boy at eye level...laughing and smiling and playing.  Why push when you can cuddle.

Good Surprise

So we picked Wyatt up from school on Friday with the car packed for a road trip. 

"Surprise," we said, "We are going on vacation!"  

"Where to?" He asks.  "To an amusement park."

"Good surprise," I ask?

"All surprises are good," he says, "unless they are clothes."

What's in a name?

So we are driving past Cracker Barrel and Colt says, "Why is it called Cracker Barrel?  They don't have barrels there...or crackers!"

The Force was with us
