Making me smile

I love how God uses my children to bring a smile to my face, even on the roughest of days. Thought I would share two recent encounters that made me giggle...hope it makes a smile on your face :)

We often listen to the local christian radio station during the day around our home. Each day they play a short message from Max Lucado. Not only is he a wonderful author for grown ups, he also has great children's materials including a video series about a caterpillar named Hermie. The boys love the Hermie videos and I love that they teach them biblical truths while giving me a 30 minute break to do something really fun like clean a bathroom. Anyway, the other day Kody comes running into the kitchen, "Mommy, mommy, mommy.... I just heard Max Potato from our video on the radio". Now if I need a smile, I just say "Max Potato" to myself and the smile just naturally appears.

This morning as the boys were putting on their shoes, they got into a discussion about what they will call their sister. Tyler insisted that he would call her, "booger". Kody was immediately disgusted, "Tyler, you cannot call a girl a booger...I am going to call her lovely." "Well," Tyler said, "then how about 'Lovely Booger". Oh my, what a life she is going to have with two older brothers.

  2. But you can bet for sure that they will be the ONLY ones that will be allowed to call her "lovely booger". :) What good big brothers they will be. Love ya'll!
