Please Lord, let me remember!

I do hope the Lord allows me to remember many of the funny and wonderful things that my kids said and did when they were little. Here are some recent funny stories. We were eating breakfast this weekend at a hotel in Shreveport, LA. There was a "tip jar" on the breakfast buffet. Connor walked over to the jar, tipped it to one side and said, "Nothing happened." His mind works in such a clever way. This morning before the boys left for school we were reading Proverbs 10 from a Children's Living Bible. I had read from verse 1 to verse 6. As I began to read verse 7, Holden came running into the room yelling, "I'm poo poo!" The next verse, (verse 7) says, "We all have happy memories of good men gone to their reward, but the names of the wicked men stink after them." The boys burst out laughing. Such perfect timing. Collins and Holden share a room. At night Collins often complains that Holden won't be quiet and he won't stay on his own bed. So Monday night when I put them to bed, I told Holden, "Now Holden you need to stay on your own bed and no talking." About 20 minutes later after he got home from the church, Todd went in to say goodnight. He spoke to each of the kids, but there was just silence. Todd asked Holden if he was OK and he said, "Mom said no talking." He was being very obedient!
