Typical boys! They found a snail and just knew I wanted it to keep on my dresser. Finally, I talked them into leaving it outside. I felt sortof defenseless being confined to my chair outside. Thank goodness it was only a snail. Then, yesterday, their cousins came over to visit. We had a house full of 5 boys. I kept watching them, thinking, this is what I will have in a few short years. I love it! They were very into killing flies that had gotten into the house. Then, as they were leaving, my oldest says to my sister-in-law, " I tell you what I am going to do... I am going to kill a fly for yall and put it in a piece of paper and then send it to you so that way you can have a dead fly." He was so serious. I told her, don't worry, we won't let him mail you ANY dead animals or insects. Hilarious!!!

Funny story...

I was talking to my 4 year old while his brother were outside. We had a rare few minutes of one-on-one time. Here is the conversation we had...
me: Who made you?
K: God
me: Do you know how much He loves you?
K: How much?
me: A LOT
Me: What did Jesus do while He was on this earth?
K: healed people and died on the cross

then a long pause and while I was waiting to hear what else he would say... he says,
"Mommy.... but why did Jesus get hammered??"

I busted out laughing for some reason... I tried not too, but he was so serious. I love his innocence. The phrase getting hammered to him means getting hammered ( as in nailed to the cross) I regained my composure and we talked some more about it. But, I was still laughing later as went outside to play. I love having kids!
