Better Listener

Another quick post . . . tonight in Mason's prayer he prayed that dad would listen better! Dan bought a few simple magic tricks yesterday and Mason has had a blast watching them. His favorites are the ball that disappears and the 'tissue' (handkerchief) that disappears. He laughs hysterically! Dan was trying to get him to try a taste of scone tonight and said he'd show him how to do the trick if he'd try. Mason didn't like that idea and got mad and said 'magic is hard'. (He also said 'swimming is hard' last week when he had to leave the swimming pool'. I think it's his way of expressing frustration that he can't do what he wants all the time . . . that's pretty hard!)

So, I guess he thought that Dan needed to listen to him better and let him do the magic tricks instead of go to bed.

It's actually a great prayer since I have often wished that Dan listened better too :-)

5k

Today was the DFCU 5k Walk/Run. Since I'm way too out of shape to run it (I don't think I've ever ran that far at once), Dan and I walked with the kids. Mason rode his bike and was such a trooper to make it that far! Tristyn had a blast pointing out airplanes from the stroller. It took an hour, compared to the 20 minutes it took a runner to push his twin girls, but at least we did it, right? The weather was perfect and it was a fun time with the family. I didn't take a photo, but the HR guy did, so I'll try to get it and post it later!
