Opening Hearts

Posted on by
Sunday, we were in church and a very nice invocation was offered.  During the prayer the sister who was doing the praying said something to the effect of “please let us open our hearts to the messages given today”.  When the prayer was finished my almost 4 year old looked at me and said:
“We are going to open our hearts?”

“Yes,”  I answered.

“How do we do that?” he replied with a look of utter confusion.



To Be Three

Posted on by
I enjoy my age
I don’t feel a real need to hide my age.
In many ways my thirties have been really, really good to me and I am not ashamed, nor do I look back and wish I could have a do-over.
Except
When I see things like this:
An afternoon nap in my underwear sounds really good right now….and look closely at what is on the bed next to his little elbow.

Oh yeah!
A nap started off by chocolate.
Somedays I wish I could be three.
(little punk found my chocolate stash again, I swear he has a nose for the stuff!)

After a Day on The Farm

Today

I helped turn the compost pile

and

“Took care” of some chickens.

Went in the potty, and made it every time.

I rode bikes.

Blew bubbles.

Colored with sidewalk chalk.

Killed a spider.

Had a picnic.

Helped Mom pick up my room.

Then I got tired,

and

Crashed.

You can do that when you are three years old and had a long day on the farm.
