i don't have a recipe to share this week, so instead i'll share a cute story/conversation i had with my 7 year old...
we were on our way to school and we always pass a little cemetery. eli said to me, "mom, i wanna dig up all those people so i can see their bones". besides being a little creepy, i thought it was an interesting statement. but of course, i had to clarify for him that we can't just dig up people's bones...in fact, i'm pretty sure that's against the law. so, i proceeded to give him other options for "seeing bones". i said, "well, how about you be a surgeon?" he then reminded me of the time i was watching a surgery take place on tv and he was very grossed out by it. so then i ventured on..."well, how about you become a radiologist...they are a type of doctor that looks at bones ALL day". he wanted to know if he'd have a helper and i assured him that there are technicians that actually take the pictures of the bones for you, etc. he seemed very satisfied with the idea, so i talked about how long it would take him to go to college and how he would definitely have money to take care of his family, give to his church, help others, etc. his main concern though..."mom, will i have days off or do i have to sleep at the hospital and look at bones ALL the time? because even when i'm a grown up, i'm gonna want to play with my legos!"...now, that's a kid with his priorities straight!

Legos are one of my husband's favorite pasttimes. He includes my son to be kind ;)
That's great! He does talk about his Lego's all the time! It's funny, becasue as a little girl it was one of my favorite things to do too! We had a pool table at my grandmas, and we would cover that thing in lego cities. My grandma recently sold the pool table and she said she found 100's of legos inside of it from us kids! :)
