Brave

in accordance with national policy i will not negotiate with terrorists.

keller was sent to bed at 5.23 pm

keller - singing:
soap in the eyes of my heart, lord
soap in the eyes of my heart
i want to see you
i want to see you

(open the eyes of my heart, lord)

keller: what is 4 wheel drive?

me: it’s when all four wheels get power from your motor at the same time, instead of just two back wheels.

*silence from the back seat*

keller: so then… dogs have four wheel drive!

me: yes.

i was wearing some kind of candy flavored sparkly lip gloss this morning when i kissed keller goodbye - as he ran to the playground he turned and yelled,

“mom i love your kissing”

*melt*

As a side note…

Today while in the wagon, Keller and a few pre-k buds were singing 5 year old style where it’s mostly yelling with lots of hand motions…

Our God is a Great Big God
Our God is a Great Big God
Our God is a Great Big God
And He Rolls Our Sin In His Hands…

(…and He holds us in His hands…)

Finally going tonight to get my son’s hair cut! He’s so far past “mod” - sort of like a gel helmet, with sideburns! Niiiiice.
