We created a worry box to write down our worries and anxieties. Once the notes go in the worry box, the boys and I know they are with God and we don't have to stress about them anymore. Camden was very thoughtful in writing his down and understood that it wouldn't be easy to "Let Go and Let God", but it's a start and he's learning. I told the boys they didn't need to tell me what they wrote, and I wouldn't read what's in the box because I know God will take care of it. Kellan couldn't stand it, and whispered to me what he wrote "I want a retainer"...
We were talking about new school lunch boxes and that reminded me. Camden was talking about how his backpack is still perfect and usable from a couple grades ago. Kellan was proud that his 3rd grade backpack had a huge hole in it! During the last school year, Kellan had put his lunchbag on the counter as he is supposed to. What he didn't realize was I had a candle burning on that part of the counter. He left the lid up, and the candle burned a small hole right through the lunchbag. I was in the kitchen the whole time, but didn't realize what was going on until I smelled burnt lunchbag. Thank God that didn't cause a fire! Kellan felt just awful but we do laugh about it now.
It was really windy one afternoon when I was picking the boys up from school. Kellan came out grinning from ear to ear and fascinated with the weather. He's so tiny it looked like the wind was pushing him. He thought so too because he yelled, "Look Mom! I'm Mary Kellan! You know, like Mary Poppins!"...
I have a lot of things I'd never in a million years thought I'd have to say out loud. One of them is "don't put your Tic Tac in your butter!).
Kellan grabbed my phone and asked Siri what time he should take a 'scrub a dub in the tub'...
Kellan calls audio books 'rodeo' books...
