Heavenly Father

On Friday Benson, Britton and I were laying in bed watching Star Wars. I started to drift off and I ended up putting a pillow over my head. Benson kept talking to me off and on and asking me questions about what was going on while him and Britton were gone. He asked if we (myself and Dan) had planned anything for this weekend that we would do as a family. I told him that on Saturday we were going to go see Harry Potter. Well when I told him this the pillow was still over my head and it came out a bit muffled. Benson took a deep breath and all of the sudden I heard him turn to Britton and exclaim in PURE JOY, "Britton, on Saturday we are going to see Heavenly Father!!!!" From there Britton took a deep breath and asked, "Really?!?!!" I wanted to laugh at the cute miscomunication, but realized that if I did the boys would be even more crushed than they were about to be. I sat up and had to tell them that I said Harry Potter and not Heavenly Father. The look of complete sadness over took both of their faces. It was so hard to look at those little faces with their sad eyes and realize, but it reminded me of the absolute purity of a child.
After it was said and done and a few hours passed I finally started laughing about it, because in the end it is funny, but Benson will not stop asking Dan and I how long it will be before he can see Heavenly Father. OH BOY!!!! Good thing we go to church :)

How funny. Your boys are so cute. I loved watching their faces at the reunion when Connie and Barb came out in their costumes. They laughing and were totally inthralled with it all.

Your boys say and do the cutest things! They sound like so much fun! We just went to Harry Potter and I really liked it despite the mixed reviews that I had gotten, how about you?
