Map to Heaven

Well today was one of those days that Kennedie has had me laughing non-stop! And I really don't think she means to, she's just growing up so fast and the things she says are so darn cute! I had to come in here and write them down before I forgot about them. Here's a few from our morning...enjoy!
Before James got deployed, his unit had a meeting for the families and they handed out these little camoflauge Bibles. (side note: she told James 2 nights ago that camo was her new favorite color...he says it's his too...oh my!) Anyways, she came out of Sunday school this week and was telling me about the Bible verse that they had learned and how she wanted to practice it. So since then, she's been carrying this camo Bible and her princess pink Bible all around the house, pretending to look up Colossians! She is such a hoot! Well, this morning she informs me that she's "had this camo Bible for years now...you know, since I was in the Marine Corps!" I really thought I was going to fall over! It's so hard not to laugh because I really don't want to discourage her from talking openly, or embarass her!

**Later as she was flipping through it again, she shows me this map and says, "you know what this is Mommy? It's the map to Heaven!"

Oh, sweet girl, you just melt my heart!

**And one last story...we were driving her to school (yes, all of these stories happened between waking up and getting to school...it was a full morning!) and she says, "don't you think it would be cool to be a snake?"

"Mmm, I guess so," I said.

"Then you could feel all the textures on your tummy! Like slimy, gooey...and wood chips in the jungle!"

Wow...the things my 5 year old thinks about...all before 9am!!! And, I just loved her use of the word textures! She never stops surprising me.
