Again Ben had some fun things to say today...

"tomorrow morning i am going outside to camp for the rest of my life b/c then i get to make my own decisions"

when i asked him some more questions about food, clothes, tent ect..

he'll take food from inside the house

he'll let the rain wash his clothes on a clothes line

he'll have Daddy help him set up the tent so he can sleep in there & stay dry when it rains.

he'll use the bathroom outside and sneak juice boxes from the car.

"I feel like going to church"  I asked him what for..."for everything we normally do"  like on Sunday?  "yup"

More from Ben...

Ben would like to know if before Adam & Eve ate the apple, if the sun gave people sunburn.

also..."do you think the Easter Bunny brings Santa a basket?"

and along the same line..

"I think Santa brings something to the Easter Bunny's house."

love this boy!

My Shoe Girl

Needed to buy Cassie some new shoes for church..the hand-me-downs I gave her hurt her feet.
So off to Marshall's we went to find something suitable.
While in the shoe department Cali found all kinds of shoes she liked.
"This one Cali size?"
"This one my size?"
So cute...she came home with a new pair of shoes too b/c i love shoes!
