Why is it when I finally get a moment to write something, my mind goes totally blank? Joseph did and said some of the funniest things this last week, but now I can’t remember what they were! It’s soooo frustrating. I guess I’m gonna have to carry around a notepad and a pencil...of course, first I have to find one. For whatever reason, my children are drawn to a fresh, clean notepad. They can sniff them out and within 20 minutes fill the whole thing up with doodles. AND they always manage to find a pencil to do this, yet when it’s time to do homework – they can’t find anything to write with and their hand hurts…go figure.
After the T-ball game yesterday, we went to watch the high school team play. Wow, they can really throw the ball fast…I don’t know who was more amazed, me or Joseph!! Last night I crawled in the bed with Joseph. I bet we talked for 45 minutes – way past his bedtime. But, I cherish these moments – we talked about the game, about a little boy his age that was in a car accident – he paused to say the sweetest prayer for the little fellow – we talked about God and if He had a mama or a daddy. He had a lot of questions – but here is the kicker – he totally trusted my answers and rested in them, even when I simply said “I don’t know”. Oh to have a childlike faith, this is my prayer.

Kids are so sweet.
I just read an article where the lady was talking about how she got a calendar and started writing down the things her kids said on the day they said them. She must have had it hanging somewhere accessible (sp?), and the fact that it had small spaces forced her to be brief. Every now and then she would pull out the calendar and read some of the funny things the kids said out loud at the dinner table, and everyone in the family loved it. I thought that was a great idea.
Of course, I guess that doesn't help with the pencil problem....
