"Mysterious" Kaitlyn

Today, Kaitlyn and I had another mommy/daughter day. We went to Luby's for lunch and then went to get mani/pedi's. It was so nice and fun......

So, we get home and Kaitlyn knocks on the wall and runs to me and says, "Mommy, someone is at the door." Of course I knew it was her knock so I went with it....I said, "Should we go answer the door and find out who it is?" She said, no.....come on let's hide. So, we ran to the back bedroom and hid in the bathtub. I asked her, should we go answer the door? and she said, "no, mommy, this is mysterious!"

I love that my little girl has found life to be "mysterious". I hope it never stops and she enjoys the ride the whole way through........I know that her Nana & Grandpa really want her to be close to them, but since she is not, I have to say.....I think they have a huge part in her life and how she thinks life to be "mysterious". She pretends all the time with Nana and Grandpa in mind, and most of the time we are pretending we are on a plane going to their house. I am so proud of Kaitlyn and her imagination and I know they are too.

Brushy Creek Water Park

Kaitlyn running through water........she is absolutely having a blast!

The big collied.......Kaitlyn and this other girl ran smack into one another when running through the same water explosion. Kaitlyn looked at me like she was about to start crying and all the sudden, she stands up and starts running around again.......YOU GO GIRL!!!!!

Kaitlyn is having a blast running around the water park. Just look at that smile!!!!!!

Kids just really need God and Santa....Right???

I had the best conversation with Kaitlyn on our way home from school today.

K: Where is God?
M: In Heaven.
K: Does He watch us?
M: Yes, everyday.
K: I want to go to Heaven.
M: I want to go to Heaven too and we will one day....in a long, long time.
K: I want to go today.
M: We don't get to decide when we get to go to Heaven. God let's us know. He will come down from Heaven and pick us up. Then, He drives us to His palace....but....only when God is ready for us.
K: Then we get to go back home?
M: Honey, Heaven will be our home once God comes to pick us up.
K: Will Santa come to see me there too?
M: You bet!!!!!

God bless kids!!!!!!
