Watching over us...

Ok pictures or no picture I'm back....I have a story tooo funny to pass..

My bright eyed bushy tailed Ryan, age 6...very precocious child has pink eye. He was naturally a miss from the halls of the short people and we spent the day together alone. You see my other little boy had school today. That left me and Ryan staring at each other all day....AND THIS has not happened since that OTHER little boy (Ethan) was born!

We played in the morning, making homemade clay, reading, watching cartoons. Then I decided I should get something accomplished. Our home office has not been organized for over a year! So naturally is looks like pigs in a trailer park. I started to tackle this....found some coins...Ryan LOVES coins! "hey Ryan here is some coins to look at" OH COOL!!! He then precedes to tell me how much he LOVES money, and now he is rich. "Well, no, these are daddies, we have to give them back." Later I find him filling up his new wallet to the brink. The wallet zipper looked like a chubby girl on prom night(me!) "Um Ryan, what did I say?? Take it out, put back in the zip lock and put it back in the office." Later I pass the his room and the money is STILL there. "Ryan you have to give that money back!!" He says, "well, I really want it, BAD! This time I don't think I'm going to choose the right!" "Ah hah" I say calmly. "sometimes it is REALLY hard to choose the right, but the harder the challenge, the greater the blessing and you will be REALLY REALLY happy!" "Plus Jesus is always watching!!!" Ryan then says, "Well Jesus is not ALWAYS watching..." "Yes HE IS! He is always watching everything you do, and Heavenly Father!" Then he proclaims, "Well, I'll take the money while he is watching me like you!" OK so now I'm totally confused and want to blurt out again, NO he is always watching, but then I said,"Ryan what do you mean?" He shrugged and said, "you know like how YOU watch me." OK, this is one of those moments when you feel dumber than a kindergartner, which happens to me quite often since he is practically a genius, anyway.....I started to think....

...and then I asked, "Ryan do you mean, like mommy watches you sometimes and other time I walk away and do something else?" "YES!" "Just like that, so Jesus is not always watching me either!"
DUH DUH DUH DUH ok now this was hilarious and I wanted to laugh so bad but I couldn't stop myself from having the conversation with him where I get to explain that Jesus and Heavenly Father have this really cool super power where they can watch, with out interruption,everyone on earth.....

SO Seth's piggy bank was saved by yet another....DUH DUH DUHDUH!!!! SUPER MOM, here to save the day,clean up poop,load the dishwasher,chauffeur the kids,bake the cookies, and go visiting teaching....AND fill our children with as much SUPER GOSPEL TALK as possible.

Oh one other quick funny. The kids has pink eye, oozing grossy stuff and a slight fever, but no he barges into the pigs-sti office and says, "I need exercise!" "Where is the turbo jam dvd?" (OK side note, have not done turbo jam in 2 years, 2,TWO, tutu years! But alas, it is his soul mate ofan excersise. "It's in the car dvd case" I yell out. He is back in 30 sec. and I hear the entry music roll, "It's time to party...come on and move you body!!" He is in a full karate squat with a look on his face like he's about to take on al kiuda. I'm thinking there is no way! But he does the entire 20 min. workout!! His little arms flaling all over my living room, his large sweat bombs tundering down his little legs onto my living room carpet! Rambo was prepaing for war here people. He needed his exercise!!!" As I sat and watched him with my imaginary popcorn and coke, I smiled and giggled quitly. Now this is why we have kids my people!"
