On Believing

Kyle Looks Out the Playroom Window

yes, we have a huge blow up thing on the lawn. never in a million years would I ever have thought we'd have a huge blow up thing on our lawn. but the boys rarely ask for anything -- extraordinarily rarely. maybe five times (combined) in their entire lives have they ever asked for something in a store, ever. and they so deeply wanted a "blow up" on our lawn that we couldn't help ourselves and we finally caved in. "we only live once" we reasoned. "and who the heck really cares?" we thought. "if it is so important to them, then let's just do it." i called my mother for moral support. she told me that we "had to do it" and that she'd be "mad" at us "if we didn't do it." that was all we needed. we were at the store the next day with K & O to pick it out. and we're so glad we did. it was one of the best purchases we have ever made. the boys LOVE it. they look at it a hundred times a day. and now, according to K & O, "we have a Hallelujah House!"
