Kids are funny!!
I was reading Grace4Gayle's blog and she mentioned something about Obama that reminded me of a conservation my children and I had in our van the day before the election.

My oldest two wanted to know why my husband and I were voting for McCain/Palin so as much as possible I explained it to them saying we really didn't want Obama in office because of his view on abortion. We then talked a little about McCain's views, etc. but Obama's name, of course, kept coming up.

A few minutes into the conversation my four year old DD piped up, "OBAMA? He's supposed to be dead!" which sent the rest of us into hysterics. She, obviously thought we were saying "A LLAMA" and was quoting "Emperor's New Groove", but we sure found it funny.

Later on that night we were making pudding and I told my oldest daughter, age 10, to get out the metal measuring cup to measure the milk. I mentioned that when I was little, I liked to drink milk out of that same cup because it always tasted so much colder. She asked if she could have some milk in the cup to drink when we were done measuring and I told her yes. My 7 year old DS then begged to have some milk, but missed the whole metal cup conversation and poured his into a plastic cup.

My 10 year old poured herself some milk in the cup and said, "Yum, this makes me feel like a Prairie Girl!"

My son (who doesn't always have great hearing) said, "Yeah, this milk makes me feel like a Fairy Boy!"

Once again, for the second time that day, I found myself in hysterics. Fairy Boy! I hope not!!!

Hello! Happy Saturday. I'm coming over to visit you at your blog to ask you to help me pray. As you know, I live in Southern California and this part of our state is facing crazy black outs and fires... all around us. I wrote a little on my blog. Can you please pray for us? It's a little scary. Thanks.

Thanks for praying... Yes, the fires were pretty bad down here. Luckly, we were unharmed. Our house was not in the path, but close enough. It was scary last weekend because so many of our freeways were closed. We felt trapped. The smoke was heavy (still is a bit in some places) and it was hot (90+ degrees). Thankfully, things have mellowed down quite a bit now. The fire is far from us and we're safe. There's nothing like living in CA during fire season!!!
