Cute little things they say...

I am afraid I'll forget these cute little conversations if I don't write them down.

Jack: Hey, Mom, can we call God?
Me: Well, that is not really how it works.
Charlie: Let's text him, then.

Jack: I know what I am thankful for this year. I am thankful all Lego sets come with directions.

After the boys helped me put up the Christmas decorations, including the Nativity set, this was the conversation I overheard.

Jack: Hey, Charlie, wanna go play Lego God and Wisemen?
Charlie: Yeah, I want to be the shepherd.

Jack's birthday

Jack had a simple request for his 5th birthday dinner this year...fish sticks, shrimp and a Star Wars cake. Thank goodness he is easy to please. We had a great time celebrating with Grandpa Kruse, Grandma Kate, Aunt Alley and Uncle Andrew. As I was nearly in tears because Jack was 5, Charlie was literally crying because Jack was getting "way too older" than him. He likes their ages to be one number apart. Lucky for him, his big day is right around the corner.

Legoland

This year, we took the boys to Legoland to celebrate both of their birthdays. They LOVED it!! They have an overzealous love of Star Wars right now, so seeing a Lego Darth Vadar and R2D2 when we first walked in sealed the deal with them...this place was Heaven!!
