Funny Conversation

Today Brady and I were talking after school. He was saying how it would be really cool to go into outer space and try to touch a star. The rest of the talk went like this.
Me: well if you want to go to outer space you have to become an astronaut when you grow up.
Brady: that would be fun but I really want to be a motorcycle rider when I grow up.
Me: That would be cool too
Brady: Mom what are you going to be when you grow up?
Me: I'm a mom
Brady: No mom, I know you're a mom but when you really grow up what will you be?

I told him that I'm not sure what I want to be. I just really like to know that he doesn't think I'm grown up yet. Does that mean I'm not serious enough as a mom or is it a compliment that I'm fun and don't seem like a boring grown-up. I just thought the whole thing was funny. I love the funny things that my kids say. A long time ago when Halle was around 3 we were talking and I was reciting the poem about little girls being made of sugar and spice and evrything nice and she looked at me like I was crazy and says to me: No mom I am made of BONES. It's amazing what they pick up at a young age. It's hard to believe that she's going to be 8 in 2 weeks. Where did the time go? Talk to you soon.

Gratitude

This has been a very tough week with Kyle being gone but I have to say how grateful I am to have such good friends. It is amazing when people show how kind they are. I have to say i am so thankful for people who have offered to make me and my kids their adopted family one the weeks that Kyle is gone. Friends who invite us over for dinner and for dessert and just to hang out. I am very thankful for friends who take the time to listen to me even when I know I'm not making any sense and still like me anyways ( I hope)!!! I'm thankful for friends who have the patience to help me learn new things like sewing Halle a baptism dress or making a quilt or learning to crochet. I'm thankful that these people are here for me and for my family. I hope that someday I can repay the amazing service and friendship they have given me and my family. I'm sure there's no way that I can ever repay all the kindness. All I can say if any of you are reading this is a HUGE THANK-YOU. You are definitely an answer to my prayers and I really hope that someday I can return the kindness. Talk to you soon. Like the new music player? Now you can all see what cheesy music I love, I must be getting old or have too much moise in my house all my songs seem to be slow or quiet. A big thanks to Jill for introducing me to William Joseph an amazing pianist and to the Celtic Women. I would love some more music suggestions. I love to listen.
