Tis the season/Out of the mouth of babes

Tis the Season
So, I was STILL packing and moving out of my apartment. I was going to pick something up from the grocery store to cook at the apartment while I was packing. Then I realized...I didn't have any utensils to cook with. So, I decided to go to Chic-Fil-A and pick something up. I sat in the drive thru for what seemed like FOREVER, then I finally got to the window. The employee gave me my food. Then she gave me change. But wait, I still had my money in my hand. I told her that I hadn't paid her. Then she responded..."Oh, I know. The car in front already paid for your food. Here's your change." So, I made a profit going out to lunch. I decided to pay it forward (which is an AMAZING movie, by the way) and did the same the next time I went out. I love this time of year. People get that special spirit of giving and for a brief time, people are actually nice to each other.

Out of the Mouth of Babes
So I babysat last night and had kind of a funny experience. First of all, when I told the kids it was bedtime, the little 3 year old, Audrey, sat down on the couch, folded her arms, pouted and started crying.
Audrey:"I don't want to go to bed. I'll have scary dreams."
So, we discussed the type of dream she wanted to have.
Audrey: "I want mommy to sing songs with me."
Me: "I can sing songs with you."
Audrey: "You don't know the right songs."
Me: "Yes I do, remember, we sang the daddy song together just a little while ago."
Audrey (with big wide eyes): Gasp "That's right, we did. Let's go sing then."
So, we proceeded to go upstairs, get the kids into jammies, sing the songs, then crawl in bed. On to the prayers:
Calee (eight years old): "Please help me be a good learner. Help me to be a good example." (made me think about what I was saying in my prayers.)
Clark (five years old): "Please help me be good and have fun tomorrow."
Audrey (three years old):"Please bless that I won't have scary monsters in my dreams."
Just goes to prove, you can pray about anything.
