A weekend of children

I love children. Just a short blog post on why.

Children are adorable.
Saturday afternoon, my roommates and I visited a family in South Austin for a light lunch and fellowship. Much of our time was spent playing (and taking countless photos) with their precious two-year-old. I think he was being extra cute because he knew we'd squeal at his every action.

Children are unbelievable.
This morning, I served with the 1st thru 3rd grade Sunday school class as I usually do once a month. This age group is so fun because they say the wildest things. I learn so much. Today, I was carrying a Starwars-themed Lego man during class when Josh asked me to see it. Apparently my little figure was sporting a Mark-48 machine gun, one of the top 14 deadliest guns in the world. He then segued to a vivid personal story of shooting a possum.

Children are fun.
This afternoon, I was happy to babysit my sweet Ben and Aliyah. Whether we nap, watch Sesame Street, or build forts, I am always guaranteed a good time. Their home is my home away from home.

Tomorrow is their mom's birthday, so we made a surprise chocolate cake from scratch.

These pros did most of the baking. (I did most of cleaning.)

M&Ms were the kids' idea.
