I just looked at the last post I entered. It seems a lot longer then 1 week ago. Not much had happened since then until yesterday afternoon. Have you ever been to a horse race or seen one on tv? You see them leading the horses to the gate and they get them all lined up. You see the horses shifting back and forth just waiting for someone to open the gate doors and let them spring onto the track. Well, that's kind of how I've been feeling. I can only imaging because I've never actually been lead to a horse gate. In fact, I really don't enjoy running so I can't relate to that aspect of it at all but I do feel I can relate to the anxiety and excitement of waiting for someone else to do something so that you can take your next step.

Anyway, not sure why that analogy came to me but, there it is! So, yesterday afternoon some information came our way that we've been waiting for and we are now, officially planning our move to Maryland next weekend. Whoohoo!!! We're using an ABF moving/storage 28' trailer. It's being delivered on Thursday and we'll be packing it up over the weekend. It's very exciting to finally be at this point in the process!

Kids Say...

Hungry?

My daughter, sitting at the table said she was full of the regular meal but she was still "Dessert Hungry".

Pizza

We're sitting around the table one night for dinner eating pizza. I turned to Kaley and said, "Wow, Kaley, that's your third piece of pizza!" She looks at me and replies, "Is there a problem with that?".

Blessings

Kaley's aunt Tammie was praying for our dinner and at the end of her prayer she said - " and bless and nourish this food to our bodies". We started eating and Kaley asked us what inertia was - we were all a bit surprised that our seven year old would be asking about a scientific principle. We asked her where she hear that and she said - "Aunt Tammie just prayed about it - bless this food and inertia it to our bodies..." :-)

Seriously?

We're sitting in a restaurant waiting for our food to arrive and Kaley starts snapping her fingers. I didn't remember that she could do this so I said, "Kaley, you just snapped your fingers?" She drops her head looks up at me like "Are you serious Mom?" and then actually said, "Mom, I've been snapping all my life!". She's only 6 years old.

Emotion

Kyle was upset about not getting a piece of candy at church, so I asked him if he would be hurt by not getting one. He asked, "physically?" and I said yes to which he responded "no, but I will emotionally". I had to laugh out loud at my 8 year old as he did it with a straight face...

No Rules

Kaley was conversing with Uncle Mike O. about how long her hair is. She proceeded to tell him that Mom said she is going to need a haircut soon because it's Mom's rule that her hair not be longer than shoulder length. Uncle Mike said, "But Mom's hair is longer than that." To this Kaley replied, "Yeah, that's because Mom doesn't have rules."

Control

We asked Kyle why we should allow him to play video games. His answer was, "So I can learn to control technology."

The Garden of Eden

Kyle, after not liking being punished for doing something wrong said, "it's not all my fault". I asked, "who's fault is it then?" and he replied "It's Adam and Eve's fault, if they didn't mess up in the Garden, I wouldn't be doing these things".

Dictionary

Kyle asked the question, "Why do we need a dictionary when we have parents?".

Bugs

We were discussing with Kaley how frogs eat bugs. I was explaining how it's ok because God gave frogs special cleaners so they don't get sick from the bugs germs. Kaley replied, "Yeah, just like we use napkins!".

One of those Times

Kyle said "There are times when I need to tell you things that are really important...this is one of those times." He then went on to say "I am concerned about some of Kaley's actions...", of course, he was very serious but I couldn't help but laugh at my 'old' 6 year old.

Faith

While Kyle was praying before bedtime he prayed for God to "...keep the terrorists safe." Well, first we asked him if he knows what a terrorist is. He said yes and began giving us the proper explaination. Then we asked him why he prayed for their safety? He said, "What I meant was for God to keep them safe from hell and I prayed for them because God tells us to pray for our enemies." -What we can learn from the faith of a child.

Memories

Kyle came downstairs after having a bad dream and after putting him back to bed he looked at me and said "I wish I had short term memory loss, so I could forget about the bad dream right away".

Today I took Kaley shopping at a clothing store at the mall. At one point she turns to me and says, "Mom, there's just so many great things, I just can't stop!".

Invisible

The teacher told Renee's class that God is everywhere. Renee, 4 1/2, said that God is right here with us. The teacher said, "He is?" and started looking in the cabinets and under the table. Renee laughed and said that you can't see God. "Well, why can't we see God?" Renee replied, "Because He's blind." (submitted by Beckster)

Jonah

Kyle felt he was owed a second chance after getting into trouble. Keith asked him why and Kyle said, "God gave Jonah a second chance." Keith's response - "Only after he spent 3 days in the belly of a whale".

Kaley calls short sleeved shirts "up sleeves" and long sleeved shirts "down sleeves". We're still trying to figure that one out.
