Laughter Is The Best Medicine

Today was a crazy hectic day for me. As I herded the kids in the door at my friends house I wondered how gracefully we would conclude the day with the other families of our Bible study. We were the first ones there and my friend was just putting groceries away from her hectic day.
We sat the kids, my two and hers (10 years and 6 years), up to the bar with pizza and we laid on each side of her large sectional couch. The kids were hungry so weren't talking much, neither were we.
Out of the blue, her 6 year old son says: "Hey Abigail, I have crabs."
Abigail (face scrunched and eyes squinted): "CRAA-AABS??!"
At this point my friend and I are nearly falling off the couch laughing and she is trying to verbally instruct her son that he has hermit crabs, hermit. And Abigail (who's not thinking STD's) is still totally repulsed by this idea which is making it all the funnier to my friend and I (who are thinking STD's!).
Anyway, we really got a good tear jerking laugh out of that one (the kids had no idea what had come over their moms) and felt ready to proceed from our hectic day!

Trip to the Aquarium

Last week I, along with our friends, took the kids to San Fransisco to the Aquarium by the Bay. We rode the BART (subway) and then took a street car to Fisherman's Warf for a fun day of exploring! Check it out!
