It's a true story. I just went Nam on a bag of Cadbury Mini Eggs (CME). Seriously, I will probably never give up sugar or chocolate for Lent thanks to CME. They only come out at Easter, though I hear from Sara that there was a special edition out for either Christmas or V-day. However, I think I only want them around Easter. I'm just going to throw out the warning now that there will be nothing intelligible in this post.
I have a ton of exciting stuff to update about. Like as of May 18, I'll be an amazing intern at Heartland. Yes kids, I got the internship. I seriously feel completely honored and just blessed to have been selected. Like God gently rolled the ball in my court, and not only did I notice, but I acted on it. I remember hearing about LTP last year and thinking about what an amazing opportunity it would be, but I wasn't at a place in my faith journey to do it. So I didn't. Then this year it was mentioned, and again I did the "oh gee, that's a great opportunity." Except this time I prayed about it, talked about it, and felt like I was supposed to at least apply for it. Turns out I really am going to do it, and I can't wait for summer to get here.
And in closing, I'd like to share my favorite kid quote right now... really it's my favorite until another kid says something hilarious. So I was babysitting Briggs (almost 2) & Zoe (5) a week or so ago. Zoe's friend Audrey (6) was over, and they were playing ponies or something like that. Well, there was one pony that was apparently more magical than the others, and the girls were arguing over it. So I called them in, and I asked what the problem was. It went something like this:
Zoe: Audrey won't let me play with that pony. She's not taking turns.
Audrey: Zoe, you get to play with this pony all the time because it's yours.
Zoe: No I don't! I never play with it!
Audrey (completely dramatic): Zoe, I have a life of working. You have a life of playing. You should let me play with the pony!
At which point I lost it & made a mental note that children are parrots who WILL repeat everything you say to them.

Hello my sweet cousin...Loved the blog. I never did get into the cadbury egg thing but I love the whopper robin eggs...mmm!
Ok, so about kid comments. I have a cute simple one to share with you about you and your sis ( on this lovely half birthday!).
We were in your old house in Kansas City and you guys were up stairs in this room filled with a gazillion books. Was it your room or a play room? Anyways, I was standing on the stairs listening to you guys play and you were playing school or store and You said ?My name is "mrs M". Lindsey then asked "Ok, how do you spell that"?
I stood at the stairs laughing with my mouth closed so you guys couldnt hear me. It was so cute and totally permanent in my mind forever.
LOVE YOU!!
I love your stories, goof. And I love April's story!!!! Ha ha how funny.
