Day 27...Heaven :-)

I have SO SO enjoyed my happy moments today.  I guess if I didn't, they wouldn't really be considered happy moments, but these just kept on coming!  My kids were on a ROLL today with what they were saying and doing.  And now, I share with you some of the moments that made me laugh so hard today I had tears in my eyes....haven't laughed that hard in a really long time!

Moment 1: As I finished conducting the last hymn at church today, I waved my hand in a circle (hard to explain) to signal the end of the song.  Well to little Connor in the congregation, it must have looked like I was signing to him.  As I sat down ready for the closing prayer, I could hear his little voice "ALLL DOONE!"  I smiled all through the prayer.  Thanks for that Connor!

Moment 2: We all piled into the car and headed home after church.  Joel was already in a sad mood because he didn't get to finish coloring a piece of paper in his primary class.  I was trying to change the subject and get him to be thinking of something else so I said "Ok when we get home we need to change our clothes and then we can go see Grandma and Grandad"  well, guess that was not what he wanted to hear because he began to cry again and said, "oh no! I can't change I look so handsome in this outfit!"  I have NO idea where he gets these things!  I was laughing so hard, and David was laughing so hard he nearly steered us into the vehicle in the next lane (which happened to be a OC Sheriff car lol.  So then Joel starts WAILING and yelling "stop laughing at meeee!" It was too much for us.  I laughed the whole way home, and I think Joel finally got over it and started to smile a bit.  Oh my poor Joel.  I wish life could be a bit more joyful and less stressful for him.  He is indeed a drama king.  I hope he finds that life's troubles are what you make of them...big or little, but it is up to you.  I try to teach him that, but he is 5 and it isn't going very well so far.

Well, tomorrow is Monday.  I am going to enjoy each and every last All My Children there is.  It got me through the end of college, grad school, those lonely nights David was at school and I had them on VHS, and ALL during my horrid 3 months of bed rest while I was pregnant with Joel.  Can't wait to see how Pine Valley says goodbye!
