A Recent Conversation...

HRecently Eva, Jaden, and I were outside enjoying the amazing weather and playing with sidewalk chalk (have I ever mentioned how obsessed I am with playing with sidewalk chalk??  Honestly, I play with it even when the kids aren't...but that's a whole different story)...

Anyway....

Something came up about Eva being very special.  Jaden responded to this by saying "Well I'M special TOO...even more special than Eva, right Mom?!!!"

I said,  "No, you are both equally special to me...and to God."

Eva responded using the most "DUH!" voice she could muster and said, "YA JADEN!!!!  WE ARE HIS SHEEP AND HE IS OUR SHEPHERD!!!!!!"

Priceless. 

(and as much as I loved it, I still get the giggles just thinking about her tone of voice while saying it).
