Big Brother had a dentist appointment on Saturday, he always gets a bit nervous before, but he did an excellent job so afterwards I took him out for an ice cream cone. Yup, that's right people, no mother of the year award here, I celebrated clean teeth by taking my 4 year old to McDonalds to dirty them up! He actually paid his own way too! lol he had a coupon from Halloween for a free cone, and he was cute as heck standing in line clutching his little coupon and handing to the cashier … [Read more...]

So my four year old has had a few questions about God lately, I have to say it's quite cute to see him forming a relationship with God! Here are a few: Is God huge like Daddy? Does He have a little brother like me that I can play with? Does God have lots of toys? Does God sleep in the Church? and a little breakfast conversation went something like this- Big Bro- smiling into the sky Mommy- What are you looking at? Big Bro- God, I see him, way up there in the clouds Mommy- … [Read more...]
