Sweet Prayers

Tonight while kneeling at Caden's bed listening to him saying his personal prayers, he said the cutest thing! He said, "Thank you for the money that my dad makes so that he can take my mom out, and give her money to buy us food, and money to put gas in her car." Isn't that so sweet. I LOVE that they see how much I love date night, and that they aren't bugged by it. I try REALLY hard to make sure that date night is fun for them too. I only get sitters (we just use one but they all LOVE her!) that they like, I let them eat anything they want (although they haven't figured that out yet, they think it's Makenna being nice!) and we let them eat any leftovers from dinner that we bring home. I keep thinking at some point that they are going to be "over" date night and put up a fight, but instead they are thanking Heavenly Father for enough money that their dad can take me out! I love it!!!

Also, while helping Colby say his prayers, he said his first solo prayer. I always tell him to say as much as he can, and then I will help. So it went something like this, "Dear Henly Fadder, tanks for Elsie (the neighbor girl Kelsey), tanks for Hannah (neighbor girl) tanks for Tassie (Hannah's mom Cassie), tanks for my brudders, tanks for the park, tanks for Michael (Chet's friend that he was helping today and we hung out with most of the day) and his house, tanks for the park, tanks for my family and the park. Amen. Oh wait, in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen!" It was priceless. Then he looked at me and said, "I am so proud of you!" and gave me a big hug. He was so proud of himself and knew I would be too, haha! I love my little sweethearts!
