Well, funny to me anyway.

Two Saturday’s ago, we decided to go for a hike. After we got all packed up in the car and calculated the time to get to the park and the time Caleb had before he needed a nap, we decided to go to Ladera school and let the kids play on the playground.

Grace loves the playground. Ava headed in a beeline straight for the swings. She loves to swing and doesn’t really want to do anything else. Sally and Caleb were also swinging and I was pushing Ava. Grace didn’t like being alone, so she moped over to the swings.

A few minutes later, a little girl came running by. Grace called out to her, “Hi. My name is Grace. You want to be my friend?”

And with that she had a friend to play with on the playground.

No, we aren’t.

(This is hearsay, but Sally wouldn’t post it.) Grace told Sally that we needed to have one more brother in the family. She said, “but it’s ok mama, all you need to do is poop out another baby brother.”

(The color of the word poop is a nice touch, isn’t it.)

We have been working with Grace to improve her prayers. Here are some gems lately:

1. If she is lazy, she say “Heavenly Father, bless our many blessings, in the name of….”

2. If she is really concentrating, she says “and bless Heavenly Father…”

3. The other night was the ultimate in laughter stifling: “and bless our sins…”.
