Dear God...

We always pray with the kiddos before bed time.

Hayden quietly nods and says Amen at the end, always hoping that we won't ask him to do the honors. He is required to at least think of one thing to be thankful for... you'd think we were asking him to give up his x-box 360. Apparently it's a difficult task to think of something. We mght suggest be thankful for your x-box 360. hmmmm.....

Zoe, however, jumps at the chance to pray. She now leads us, hands clasped tight...
"Dear Jesus, hank (thank) you for moomie (movie), Yay-Yay (Hayden), popcorn, and shopping. (Right on). Keep Yoe (Zoe) safe, Yay-Yay safe, seep (sleep) nice. Hank you for Daddy, Mommy, Yoe, Yay-Yay, Gama (Grandma), Papa, udder (other) Gama 'n Papa, Gay Mama (Great Grandma), and Duke (Gma/pa Schmadeke's dog). Amen."

Amen!
