On Prayer

We went to a party tonight and I took some apple cobbler as my meager contribution -- which just happens to be my kids favorite. Evan played so hard and so long that by the end of the night, he still hadn't had any cobbler. When we got home, he asked if he could have some before bed and I said no, since it was 9:30 and I needed a break, I mean, he needed his rest. Of course, Evan started to throw a fit, so I suggested it might make a good breakfast. No worse than a donut, right? He seemed pleased with that idea... eager, even. When he said family prayer tonight he made sure to include, "And please help us to remember that we can have cobbler for breakfast tomorrow. Amen."

Now that sounds like Zach! Food is sacred. I make orange rolls occasionally, always for holidays. When Zach was in preschool he would count how many were in the ziploc before he went to bed, then get up in the morning and count how many were left. He would then accuse us of eating X number of rolls while he was asleep. At that point I figured I needed to make them a little more often. Now he is 13 1/2 and almost 6 feet tall...
