Five For Friday

I have no topic for today's five....

1. Lucas' new word is

"Whhhhyyyyyyyy?"

When my father in law and his wife (Luke's step mom) were in town last weekend, she got me onto saying

"Why not?" in response.

Now his new alternative response is

"Beeeccaaaauuuuuse!!" (because)

2. Tonight we are hosting a middle school girls lock in. That's right, 15 or so middle school girls in our basement. Wanna know the craziest part? I'm excited!

3. Baby D is sleeping pretty much through the night. The last FOUR nights he's slept 6 hour stretches. Yay! Why am I more tired?

4. My husband made a bet with me, which I won and he gave me $500. (Yes, you read that right.) However, because he's brainwashed me with Dave Ramsey I cannot spend it. Okay, maybe I'll spend a little, but I can't bring myself to spend it all.

Yes, I'm serious.

5. I never thought I'd actually make new friends by blogging. But, I've found that friendships have become stronger and I've actually "met" a few new people. As long as they promise not to be axe murderers, I think I'll be okay!

Happy Friday! Have a supremely blessed weekend!

Carolina Dreamin'

This morning:

Elizabeth: "Mom. I had a dream last night."

Me: "Really sweetie, what did you dream about?"

E: "I dreamed that I married another man."

(I don't know who the first man would be.)

Me: "You did?" (stifling a chuckle)

E: "Yes, and I wore a pretty dress and he wore his tights and we danced together."

Me: "What was the man's name?"

E: "Codia, the third."

Me: (Trying not to laugh uncontrollably) "What was he like?"

E: "He was nice, but then he left me and I had to dance with another man in the closet. He moved to Carolina street and I have never seen him again. I really miss Codia, I think we need to pray for him."

Me: "Sure honey, if you think so."

E: "Okay, you make sure everyone keeps their eyes closed, okay Mom?"

I LOVE being a mom.
