A recent Children's Museum visit

High point: Visiting the museum became a spiritual experience
Madeline has recently been scared of the dark and monsters. We talk a lot about monsters not being real and that Jesus doesn't want us to be afraid because He is always with us.

As we were walking down the ramp towards the dark dinosaur exhibit, Madeline tugged on my hand and yelled, "Wait!" Then she continued (rather loudly), "Um. OK. Jesus help me not scared of dark. OK. Thank you and amen." She turned to me and said, "Go ahead Mommy. Let's go."

Low point: Wishing our membership included chemical showers
While playing tea party on the fourth floor, Madeline handed me a plastic scone. When I grabbed it, something wet oozed out onto my hand from the tiny hole on the bottom. OH MY WORD. EW.

That is a Momma's paycheck. :)

(The prayer...not the unidentified scone juice. (; )
