My Boys Melt My Heart

Okay...so two things happened today that made me want to laugh and cry at the same time. First, Wesley and Jake decided they wanted to play Rock, Paper, Scissors while riding in the back of the van today. Just so you are all aware, this is one of Wesley's favorite games, and he will make sure he wins at all costs...even if it means making up a move to take down the competition....

Event One

(Summer is driving the van listening in on the boys' conversation.)
Jake: "Wes, let's play Rock, Paper, Scissors."
Wesley: "Ok."
Jake: "Rock, paper, scissors shoot....(followed by a huge sigh)...no Wes, the sun does not melt the scissors."

Lol! That has made me laugh all day! That boy will try anything!

Event Two
This one speaks for itself. Jake has been talking a lot about God lately, and about how he believes in Jesus and trusts him. This is a poem he wrote today....

Joy, Joy, Joy
by Jacob Black

I like to play with my friends,
That brings me joy.
I like General Grievous; he's my new toy,
That brings me joy.
When Gran and Grandad visit me,
That brings me joy.
Playing tickle fights and wrestling with my family,
That brings me joy.
I like school and Ms. Keppler,
That brings me joy.
I like God and I trust Jesus,
And that brings me joy.

How can you read this and not smile! :)

Love you all!
Summer
