Funny stuff. Sam has been doing something "special" in his prayers lately. So when he asks for something he'll add "two times" or "8 times" or if it's really important "1000 times"-- to multiply how much he wants whatever he asks for. For example he'll say, "please bless me that I'll get a remote control dinosaur for Christmas, 1000 times." It cracks me up.
Another funny conversation between Mia and Sam the other day:
Sam: Who are you going to worship, Jesus or the devil?
Mia: (playing with the nativity) hmmm... I want to worship Mary.
S: You can't worship Mary. It has be Jesus or the Devil, there are no other choices.
M: I want Mary!
S: That's not a choice! Jesus or the devil. If you serve Jesus, you live with Jesus when you die, if you serve the devil, you live with him when you die. Now, choose Jesus!
M: (pouts)
Mom laughs silently in the other room.

About Me
- fünf
- I am a straight shooter. The New Mexican chow hound. I make a mean virgin Margarita. Green chile courses through my veins. I am a wanna-be runner. I am a mother of three and a wife of one- the one, my one and only. I am an appreciater of creative people. I am powered by sunshine. I love trees but don't hug things that don't hug me back. Someone called me "nature girl" once and I liked it. Exercising makes me feel alive. Exorcism makes dead people feel alive. I like chips and salsa more than a friend. I don't like drama unless it's on a stage. I love to pick up and go on adventures. I want my children to see and appreciate the world and it's people. I was a school teacher before I got a harder job. I don't mind blog stalkers as long as they behave themselves.
