Carson's prayers

So, from the time I posted last, I spilled bleach on my carpet, slammed my head against the car door, and spilled salt all over some rice crispy treats that my neighbor made us. Thanks for all the "good lucks". I really WILL need it!

Well, I'm off to Utah tomorrow. One of my good friends, Niccole, is coming with me. We are going to pick up my mom and go shopping for the day, and then go to the Twilight movie that night with a bunch of my family. I'm SOOOOOOOOO excited! My Celine Dion concert got post-poned until February on a SUNDAY (LAME!) so, since we won't be going to that... Twilight is the next best thing! James is meeting us at home on Sunday night, after he works, and then we will be in town until Friday. James' family is going to be in Vegas, so we'll be spending most of the time with my family. It's too bad that we won't get to see his family much, but it will be a lot less busy for us this week, without having to go back and forth between two families. Anyway, if any of you want to get together with us, give us a call!

Yesterday I had a play group at my house, and one of the mom's had a little baby on her lap. Carson has been completely enthralled with babies lately, and this one was no exception. He was right in his little face, trying to hand him all the toys. Anyway, he came over to me and said, "Mom, I was playing with the baby, and I was touching it, but....it's okay, because I don't have any germs on my hands because I wasn't picking my nose!" What a relief. He's always thinking of something. Even today, he came with me visiting teaching, and as we were leaving, I told him to fold his arms because we were going to say a prayer before we left. Apparently, to him, this was an open invitation to say the prayer himself. He kind of started before anyone could do anything, so we all just let him say it. Warning: Carson's prayers can get EXTREMELY long, and sometimes don't make much sense to a lot of people. Here are a few things he said in his prayer today, "we're thankful that Jesus will come back to life to bless all the little children again." "Please bless the Gospel", "Help us do the things that we don't WANT to do, but are suppose to do","Help Kenzie be nice and not hit and push" (He always asks to bless Kenzie and never himself", etc. The best part about his prayers are that he acts out what he is saying. This is hard to explain...hmmm...like if he was asking God to bless Kenzie that she will be nice and not hit, he might keep one arm folded, and both eyes closed, but use the other hand to throw a punch in the middle of the air. He's a very expressive boy, and so his prayers are nothing different. Anyway, it boils down to James and I usually laughing as discreetly as possible whenever he prays. (The ladies I was with Visiting Teaching, got a kick out of it too, today.)
