For the next several days I will be posting about the World Congress of Families. This year it is being held in Sydney, Australia.  Remember how we helped to raise funds for Angela to attend? She is sending daily reports of the presentations, interviews she is able to have, and more. I am excited to share with you what she is experiencing. There are so many around the world - politicians, religious leaders, community organizers, trained professionals, and others - who are dedicated to defending the family. I will try to post each day's events in order so you are not reading them backwards as you scroll down. I have broken up Angela's summaries into several posts so it isn't overwhelming to see a HUGE post. Remember, if you have any questions you would like her to ask when she gives her interviews, leave them in the comments and I will pass them along to her.

Snippets

little voice singing primary songs

After I helped her put on her shoes and jacket, Hersey {2}, threw open the door and announced to her older siblings {and the world}: "Here's me!"

Special Dark {5}: "Mom's a genius!" after I fixed his marble run so it sloped properly.

Special Dark: Mom, truth or dare?
Me: Dare
Special Dark: Give Dad a piggy back ride and jump over the couch.
{I did give him a piggy back ride but definitely did not try jumping over the couch.}

Hershey: It's your favorite man! {as she holds up my phone with a picture of Mr. Ferrero Rocher}

brown eyes

Special Dark on Easter Sunday: Are Guelito and Avi resurrected yet?
Me: No, not until Jesus comes again.
Special Dark: You know how Dad is getting gray hair? I don't want him to die.
Me: He won't die because he's getting gray hair.
Special Dark: Yeah, but that means he's old!

Hershey: I need my jacket on because Giddy's fat.

Hershey: Please change the basketball in my diaper.

Hershey: Mom, I'm tired. I want to lay on the treadmill.

  2. Love them all, especially "Please change the basketball in my diaper." That one made me chuckle!

  3. I love snippets from children. They are always hilarious. I remember a great one from Classic Rock, at age 3. I'd picked him up from a morning at church school and was driving home. "Mama, why does Abraham have bosoms?" Me: "Huh?" Him: "There's a song, rock my soul in the bosom of Abraham." Me: (punting to Daddy), "you should ask Daddy." Him: "Okay, Daddy probably knows all about bosoms!"

  4. Do your kids call him "Giddy" too? My Gideon is sometimes called "giddy-up." Too cute.

Put "eat chocolate" at the top of your list of things to do today. That way, at least you'll get one thing done. ☺ There, don't you feel better?

Please leave a comment! I enjoy hearing your thoughts, whether you agree with me or not. If we all agreed on everything how boring would that be? Worse than eating white chocolate, because it's fake. So be real, be yourself.
