Oh you can't get to heaven . . .

On the way home from cubbies tonight Ben and I were having a conversation about heaven. It went something like this.

B: "Mommy when we will go to heaven"
L: "when God is ready for us to go there"
B: "well in 6 min I think"
L: "yep maybe buddy" (he really does not grasp time all that well so 6 min means nothing to him)
Some silence

B: "Mommy God can't drive a car"
L: "really Ben why is that?"
B: "Because he is so huge he will bump his head"

more silence for a min

B: "Mommy when God is ready for us to go to heaven how will we get there"
L: "Well I don't exactly know buddy but I think that God will just take us"
B: "Oh I know Mommy God will take us on a airplane, no a helicopter. He will come and say Go get on that helicopter and go to heaven. God will walk though because he is too big for a helicopter."

So there you have it Ben now knows how to get to heaven :)

Our little room down below

Well, we added walls around our bathroom in the basement and decided to "stage" a little room down there. It is actually kind of cute. I might even use it sometime

Here are some pictures for your enjoyment :) (it is not completely finished since the wall's have wet paint but you get the idea)

Benjamin the Charmer

Ben was invited to a birthday party for one of the girls in his class this weekend. When I asked him what he wanted to take for a gift he said "flowers" I asked him why and he said "because girls like flowers". I asked him again a few days later and he responded with the same answer. Since he was so insistent that he bring the flowers I let him pick some out when we were at the store to take to the party. It was very cute when he gave them to the birthday girl. She was very happy and even more happy since they were yellow and yellow is her favorite color. I guess Ben is just taking after his Dad. Josh had a room filled with flowers for me after he proposed. I guess it just runs in the family. Watch out girls between the ages of 1 and 4 Ben is on the loose.
