**THROWBACK POST**

July 7 2015:

Thomas opened the door for a lady today. She said something like, “Blessings to you all day today.” He told me this as we were driving off and wanted to know why she said that to him. I told him it was because he did something kind by opening the door for her (during a hail and thunderstorm) and sometimes people bless others who are kind to them.

He says, “Well if it’s that easy to be kind and be blessed, why don’t more people do it?” …… I think that there are small acts of kindness going on by the second, all around us. I also think that sometimes we have lost ourselves in thought, are not being mindful, and simply may not notice. Here’s to being mindful and noticing … and spreading kindness … and LOVE! xoxo

“Why don’t we use typewriters anymore?” … Thomas asked me today. Explaining what a typewriter is was another conversation a while back. He says typewriters seem so much easier. You don’t have to print anything cause you already have it right there …. (He was reading an older book that mentioned typewriters.)

Thomas says: “This is not my planet. I am from Jupiter. When I grow up I’m going to go into space and go back to Jupiter!” Plus, he’s taking Lillian with him! They are now having a conversation about what they will pack for the journey! It’s times like this I’m so grateful for these two and their imaginations!”

Thomas’ observations last night during our before bed chat ritual where we talk about whatever he wants …. “I ask you at least 10 questions a day, probably more. In 50 days that’s 500 questions!”

Yes, Thomas, I agree. And he stumps me at least once a day with his questions! I also told him that sounds like a great book title, “50 Days, 500 Questions”!

Thomas asked me earlier what time I went to bed last night. I told him and we went about our business. A little bit later he came over and helped me wash the dishes and then cleaned the stove and told me he wanted to help so I could go to bed earlier.

I am blessed times 500 million and beyond that I get to be this little person’s Mama!! xoxo

I made the spaghettI sauce with Kymberlee’s awesome maters last night for dinner. Thomas and I loved it! We ate every last piece of spaghetti noodles. Still have sauce so we get to have more later this week! YUM!

Thomas says “You may not be the greatest cook but you make the best sauce ever!” Lillian adds,”You may not be the best bed maker, but you are a great teacher!” I’ll take that! Love those two up!
