once upon a time there was a mommy. this mommy had all little boys.  little boys wear blue.  not pink, blue.  so this mommy decided to do the right and best thing, and she was sure to always dress them in blue, because boys look best in blue.  she was tempted to dress them in pink at times, because some mommies with all boys begin to romanticize the color pink. mainly because pink is 'pretty' and most of the time, blue is not pretty.  it is 'blue'.  the 'experts' term it 'border-line abuse' to dress little boys in blue.  she so wanted to be a good mommy, so she set out to make blue her favorite color.

denim blue, vintage blue, sky blue, baby blue.  this mommy felt she had about all she could take of blue.  so, one night she prayed.  she prayed God would bring her a little girl. a little pink girl.  a little pink girl who would love to 'take pink tea, in pink  tea cups with pink flowers while sitting in pink dresses, on pink chairs, at a table with pink table cloths.

she prayed and prayed and prayed.  and one day, God answered her prayer.  she got her pink little girl...who loved blue.

and the moral of the story:

you can take the pink out of the little  boy, but you can't take the blue out of the little girl....

and they all lived happily ever after.

the end.

Hello Nehemiahmommy! I'm finally getting back to your comment from my blog. Just as you prayed for a girl, just keep praying for that barn. You never know what His will is. We prayed and prayed for a farm and He blessed us this year. My father went home to heaven right before we found it, so you are right in saying that the Lord gives and takes away (in your profile). Not that we had to lose my dad to get a farm. But we never dreamed we'd have a farm so quickly. Of course we don't have animals yet, so does it still count as a farm? I think so.
Did you watch "National Treasure" yet? I have yet to meet someone who doesn't like it. Then again my brother and sister-in-law haven't watched it and they usually can't stand anything we like. To each his own. Have a great day! Oh, and blue was my favorite color for years and still is one of my favorites, but I really love pink now, so maybe your girl will too.
