"You're the best Mommy in the world."

The other day after lunch, Isaac says to me, "Mommy, thank you for my lunch." "You make the best lunch and dinner." "You are the best Mommy in the world." So, I said to him, "Thank you Isaac, that is such a nice thing to say to your Mommy." Then he says to me, "It's a good thing you know how to cook, because if you didn't you wouldn't be the best Mommy in the world, and we wouldn't have anything to eat." Then he says, "But Grammy would bring us some food, she knows how to cook." "And Grammy loves to bring people food when they don't have any."

Mom helps with an organization called Meals on Wheels by delivering food once a week to people who can't get out.

It really blows my mind the things he says!!

"Mommy, you forgot to pray for the most important part."

When we sat down for dinner tonight, I prayed for our food, "God, thank you so much this good food you gave us and for helping Mommy know how to cook it for us, in Jesus name, Amen." Then Isaac said, "Mommy you forgot the pray the most important part." I asked him what did I forget? And he said, "You forgot to ask God to bless the most important woman in the world." Then he said, "You are the best Mommy in the world, you do everything for us." "You cook our food, you clean the house, you get our clothes ready, you put us to bed for naps, you drive us everywhere, you play with us." I was FLOORED to say the least!! I told him thank you and that was the sweetest thing he ever said to me and that made me feel so special. He kept going on about all the things I do for them. Then he said, "Mommy, is God happy when I say things like that?" And I told him "Yes, He is!" A few seconds later he said, "Mommy, last night when Daddy was putting me and Eric to bed, he told us those things and we prayed all those things to God." "Daddy said all those things about you too." I told him again thank you and how sweet it was for him to tell me that. I could not believe it. The fruit you see in your child is just amazing. What a blessing he is. He really made up for the old woman comment.

"That's an old woman song!"

Today Isaac and Eric were running around the house with cape clipped to the back of their shirts pretending to be super hero's. Isaac came into the kitchen to ask me if I had any super hero music. He said he wanted to run around with super hero music on. I told him I didn't think I had any super hero music. So, he said, "I guess you could turn on Our God Is An Awesome God." Then he said, "No, not that one, that is and old woman song." I said, "WHAT??!!" "An old woman song?" "What is that!?" And he said, "It's an old woman song, because that is a song you play all the time." I thought I was going to die!!! So, I said, "How about I Am Saved By Grace?" And he said, "No you play that all the time too, so that is an old woman song too!" Oh my gosh......I'm an old woman.

Opening Auntie Lala's Gift

Lauren (and the boys) had a great time opening her gifts from KY.

"Mommy, I want to be a super hero when I grow up."

Isaac and Eric were watching a show this evening (The Incredibles) while I was cleaning up from dinner, and Isaac came in the kitchen and said, "Mommy, I want to be a super hero when I grow up." I said, "Oh, ok."
