Bless us, O Lord

Kids say the darndest things Friday - April 23 issue

I am attempting to do a better job about why we pray a certain way, do certain things at Mass, etc. For instance, our daughter is pretty good at learning the prayers - and that is the first step, but I realized recently that she may not really understand some of the words or ideas.

In attempt to explain why we say a blessing before we eat, Little One and I had the following conversation:

Mommy: “Do you know why we say a blessing before we eat?”
Little One: “No.”
Mommy: “It’s to thank God for giving us food.”
Little One: “Actually, God gives the food to grocery stores and Whole Foods, and then we go buy it.”

Close...so close.

Kids say the darndest things Friday - April 9 issue

Join us for Kids say the darndest things Fridays over at Mystical Rose Design.

From last week while discussing the meaning of Easter: "But I want to stay in Dallas!"

Kids views on life

This is my first attempt at joining a blog hop (or whatever they are called). Lucy, over at Mystical Rose Design, is hosting (is that the right phrase? am I really that old that I don't know this???) a blog hop called "Kids say the darndest things Fridays".

And yes, Little One has come up with some interesting sayings and interpretations. One of my more recent favorites is "there is no God like Joe".

Head on over to some of the other blogs for other cute kids.

It's snowing!

Yes, that is worthy of blogging about here in Texas. I don't think I have ever seen a whole day of snow falling! Luckily, I could work from home, which meant I could take a few breaks with Little One. She finally got to make her snow angels! And throw a few snow balls.

We will almost certainly be at home tomorrow as well, since the slushy roads are expected to ice over night (making it nearly impossible for Texans to drive).

Moderating Comments

If you've commented recently and are wondering why it takes so long for your comment to appear, I apologize. I am still getting the hang of the idea of moderating comments. Because of recent spam issues that many of us experienced, I turned on the "moderate comments" feature.

I really have to pay more attention to what I am reading in my emails since they clearly ask me if I want to accept, moderate, or delete your comments.

I've got to take a vacation (again).
