Chet was out of town this weekend (in Minot, ND cleaning up flooded homes again. I so love that man and all that he does for everyone!) and Carter and Carson wanted to sleep with me. I told them that they could not start out in my bed, but if they woke up and all the lights were off and I was in bed, then they could climb into bed with me (they always have to sleep on the bed on the floor when Chet is home so this was BIG time!) Carson gets this puzzled look on his face and then says, "What if you are kneeling down beside your bed saying your prayers, but your body is leaning on your bed? Does that count as you being in bed?" What do you say to that? We have to know EXACTLY where the line is. That is Carson in every way. If he knows the line...and the consequence, he will way it out and see if the consequence is worth the risk of getting caught, because, "I only get into trouble if you catch me mom!" (As a side note, I have realized almost every post is about Carson. The kid is so animated and smart. He really will be a wonderful man someday if he uses all his natural abilities for good!) Second thought on this occurance. I was so happy that Carson knew that I would, at some point that night, be kneeling next to my bed saying prayers, no matter if Chet was there or not. I love to know that THEY know that about me! So happy for that!!!
