The crimson Rocket

flight is a go for Anna. She is prepared to co-pilotthe crimson rocket with her brave brother Liam. Liam wears the same uniform but adds socks as gloves for fast speeds.

A crimson rug in our entry way is folded over at the corners making the sharp nose of the rocket. An iron hot plate makes a fine steering wheel and 2 pens are taped to the back to spout fire when the rocket needs it most.

THey carry a flash light and lighted work goggles to see when they arrive on planet very dark garage, which is laden with booby traps.

It is a favorite past time for both Pilots and had taken enormous amounts of team work but the rewards have been enormous as well.

wish I had a pic of the rocket for you to see.

Coolest Prayer Ever

So we have been battling with Liam to say his personal prayers every night for a while. He just refuses to do it. But, he humbly revealed to me the other night that he does say his prayers after I leave his room. Here is the prayer he says faithfully and totally seriously every night:

Dear HEavenly Father, bless it that no pirates will come.
If I see pirates, kill them and make them fade away
If I see ogres, kill them and make them fade away
If I see monsters, kill them and make them fade away
If I see robbers, make the police come and put them in jail
If I see bad guys, make a hero come
If i see dinosaurs, kill them and make them fade away
bless that I will get better
bless that I will have good dreams
bless that Anna will not cry when I hug her
int he name of Jesus Christ, Amen

THis is all memorized and said like that music poetry art stuff, kind of musically. Oh man, he is cute.

Last one, I promise

We took Anna to this mexican resturaunt that is really family friendly for her birthday. Suddenly while we were eating the waiters just plop this sombrero on her head and sing to her i spanish. She looked so funny. I wish I had a video. But I was laughing so hard that I cut it off and this is all you get. IT's worth it though.

Attention Great Grandma Elton

Thank you for Anna's birthday card! Anna was so excited to get to choose what she could get. When she saw the Little Pet shop bubble bath toy she knew that it was exactly what she wanted. She takes it with her everywhere in the house now. Thanks for thinking of the kids and keeping a connection with them Grandma Elton. We love you.

Attention Grandma White

Thanks Mom. It's so nice to see the kids keep a connection with you. Anna adores the music book and CD and has made me play it everyday since she got it.
