I put it back

My little Everett boy is so funny and so silly. If you catch him making a mess or getting into something he shouldn't he will say "I better clean this up or I better put this back". All in a very matter of fact tone like it was his idea all along. The funniest was yesterday Austin caught him sitting on the couch picking his nose. When Everett noticed Austin he kept his finger in his nose and said "don't worry dad I put it back".

In Avery news he is all registered for kindergarten and I can't believe it. He is turning into such a boy little man instead of a little boy. I am amazed how much he has matured lately. He is so wise sometimes and amazing.

We are excited for warmer weather and the chance to play outside. Hopefully I will have the chance to upload some pictures soon.

Church and Kids

I asked Everett what he learned at church in nursery and he said "I learned that ghosts tell us things and they are always here" I thought it was funny becuase it sounded so creepy when put that way. Of course he was talking about the holy ghost giving us promptings and being near to help us but still funny.
I always ask Avery what he learned about and he always said "I don't know" but a few days later he will ask something to show he did learn something. This last time he asked me in the car "mom will I get a second chance like Jonah?" I said "yes why?" He said becuase "when the church got taken from the earth everyone was bad and I must have been bad too" I explained that he was still in heaven when the people on the earth were bad and the church was taken away. He felt relieved that he wasn't that bad and that when he is bad he will get a second chance to make it right.
I am glad I get second chances too :) I am also glad that ghosts tell you things and are always here. :)
