sunrise

sunrise... my daily reminder that i am His... that His love is infinite and unconditional... and that no matter how dark the night is, joy comes in the morning.

what does the sunrise make you think of?

(p.s. this is the part where you leave a comment... which i heart!)

a little anatomy lesson...

when cale opens his mouth, you never... ever... e-v-e-r... know what might come out. hence the following conversation...

mama: "bub... did you pee-pee in your pants?"

cale: "no."

mama: "really??? cause the front of your pants are wet."

cale: (with a straight face and blank stare) "what, mom?!?!"

mama: "did you pee-pee in your new shoes?"

cale: (still with the straight face) "no, mom! my junk isn't in my shoes!"

and that, folks, is why you should always expect the unexpected from cale... oh, and it's your anatomy lesson for the day.

... when eggs fly!

have you ever wondered what would happen if you put eggs on to hard-boil, and then forgot about them? yeah... me, neither. since you haven't, let me share so you don't feel the need to go experimenting...

apparently, when the water boils off, those eggs get a little sassy and jump right out of the pan. however, let me say, it's not as much fun as you think. it's stinky... messy to clean up... now my little pan is all burnt and stuff... really, don't bother trying.

minty fresh!!!

so we stop at mcalister's for tea, get back in the car, and the following conversation takes place...

gracie: "hey, guess what?"

cale: "what, grace?"

gracie: "i got four mints!"

cale: (loudly, which i know you cannot imagine) "hey!!!! no fair!!!!!"

gracie: "fine, cale. you can have one." (insert crackling mint paper sounds...)

mama: "gracie, i don't want him to have a mint." (as she is putting one in his mouth)

gracie: "why, mom?"

mama: "well, he almost choked on a mint in daddy's truck the other night."

gracie: (completely exasperated, mind you...) "great... cale, don't choke on that mint. cause if you do, we are gonna have to go to the emergency room, they'll have to cut your head off, take out the mint, and then sew your head back on."

cale: "that would not be good."

hello, stranger...

yeah, i know... it's been a while since i've blogged. i've been a little busy trying to earn the "mom of the year" award. take tonight, for instance...

cherryberry... for dinner... after church... at 8 p.m.

yep... i'm gonna win.
