TGIF

Who isn't excited about Fridays? Although our weekend is busy, I still look forward to being at home a little and regrouping for a couple of days. And hopefully all four of us will be able to go to church this Sunday....barring anymore icky sickies.
A funny Benjamin-ism:
Last night, David had to work a little late for parent conferences. I asked him to call when he was on his way so I knew when to put supper in the oven. After getting off the phone with him, I lifted Benjamin off my lap and told him...
"Mommy needs to go put the fish in the oven so it's ready when Daddy gets home."
With eyes as big as saucers, he slowly turns to me and says (a little nervous)...
"Myyyyyyy little fish?"
Poor kid, not only has he had to cope with the recent departure of one goldfish, he was thinking mommy was about to cook up the other one!
After a little explaining, he understood. And had a good little chuckle, too.
Speaking of the "goldfish situation", to update you: Benjamin (being the smarty pants he can be) noticed Hollye's absence before we could "replace" her (could we ever really replace Hollye?). And he has been pretty okay with it. He knows that Hollye Fish got a little sick and had to go be with Jesus.
When he announced to Ms. Robin (his in-home KISD therapist) that his fish was now with Jesus, I thought she was going to fall out of her chair with his frankness about the situation. He finished up the conversation letting her know that one day he, too, would be with Jesus. I seriously teared up. What a kid!
And a little funny to leave you with:
