His mind is always working. He's got the best imagination. Today this is what he told me:
"Mama! I'm going to save up all my money until I have 200 DOLLARS! Cuz I wanna be a millionaire! You have to be a millionaire to have spies...right?"
He's also a lot more gullible than I realized. The other day he started asking me about the tooth fairy...where does she live? how does she get all the teeth? etc. I couldn't tell if he was kidding at first and then realized he was serious. We've never acted like any of those characters were real...or so we thought! So...I told him that I am the one who takes their teeth and gives them money. He laughed. I reassured him it was true. He said, "Mamaaaaa" like I was trying to pull one over on him. So I reassured him again and he just said, "really?". I could tell he still wasn't sure. About an hour later he asked him again and then said, "Well...where are all the teeth?". I told him where but he needed to see them. So I showed him and you could see the disappointment for a minute but then he laughed and was really suprised. Tonight he asked Chad if I was really the tooth fairy for the whole world! Ha...I really need to clarify for him.
It's been one...or two...of those weeks. I told Chad I was calling to enroll the kids in school. I sobbed almost every day he came home. I felt like I just could not do this anymore. I'm thankful that he reminded me WHY we homeschool. I think it's really important to know exactly why I'm doing this. I need to be able to cling to that some days. Other days are wonderful and things are full of great stuff. Some things are harder than I expected. Some things are way easier. One thing is constant. The ONE who has called us to this. I'm thankful for little blessings that bring laughter and a smile in the midst of chaos and tears!

I've had weeks like that too, where I really think I am going to enroll them in school. I never do, and it passes...
The ONE who has called you, is faithful and will equip you. Hang in there!!! :)
