Barbecue Sauce

Tonight at dinner we were eating and I was telling Heidi that Daddy was going to a work party tonight so he wasn't eating with us. She asked if he was going to eat there and he said yes. She asked what he was going to eat and he said barbecue. She looked at him for a minute and then asked if he was going to drink all the barbecue sauce. We laughed and then she said, "Do you know what would be awesome? If he squirted barbecue sauce out of his face!" Ha ha ha... laughter erupted from us and there was a lot of it. There were also tears on my part. A lot of times we try to control our laughter from what she says but I couldn't hold it in this time. Too funny!

Prayers Before School

The other day, probably the 3rd or 4th day of school, Heidi was saying a prayer at breakfast. She said, "Dear God, thank you for this day that it is the last day of school. In Jesus' name, Amen." I smiled to myself and then explained to her that it was not her last day of school but that she would be going every day now except for weekends. Ha ha... you have a ways to go, kid! But she wasn't upset about this, she just said "OK" when I told her. Not sure how she got that in her head. :-)

On the way to school today we were saying a prayer in the drop off line. I had prayed for her to have a good day at school and for Corbin and I to have a good day and for Daddy to have a good day. I asked that God be with us and look over us. After I was done, Heidi asked how God could be with all of us. This question surprised me, but I was glad she was thinking about it and asked. I just explained how God can do anything and even though we are all in different places, He can be with us all. Easy, right? Well, I told her that I didn't really understand how it worked, but that I knew he takes care of us all and is always with us. She seemed satisfied at that answer, for now anyway. :-)

Berenstain Bears

Upon finding her two new Berenstain Bears books Heidi said:

"Oh! Berenstain Bears! I've been waiting for more my whole life! You're my sweetest Mommy in the whole world!"

I'm glad she is so excited about new books! :-)

My opinionated daughter

I put on my Thunder t-shirt today mainly because it's comfortable and it just felt like a t-shirt day. Heidi asked me what we are doing today and I said we are going to get our hair cut. She looked at me and said "That shirt doesn't say you're getting a hair cut." Wow, apparently I'm not dressed nice enough for that.
