Kids Recap for March 10-16

I asked the kids what they liked about last week. These were their responses...

Gideon: Played in a basketball tournament with his club team. " It was fun cause I got to play basketball."

Jaycie: I liked when we ate the strawberries and we got a present for dad's birthday. And I liked when Maika came and I liked the cake  and when people were coming.

Jarom: I liked going to Trafalga for Sale's birthday because I was so good at rock climbing and I made it to the top. Oh that show Captain Marvel. I liked it because now I know in Infinity War that she can beat up Thanos. I liked hanging out with cousins.

Joslyn: It was fun because I got to help. Yesterday Sale got an easter egg hunt and it as fun. We got to do stuff for Sale's birthday like go to Trafalga and go to the hotel and swim and I don't know anything else.

Sale: What did you like about last week? " Watching Toothless and do that egg hunt and playing around and running and eating ice cream. And that's all.

A Simple Reminder

Yesterday I was getting ready to leave the house for the day. I had to take Maelia and Cruz home (they spent the night and did awesome). Kay said she'd watch the kids while I went to the temple. I was in the hurried stage of trying to get in the car. I kept noticing the kids phone plugged in by my bed. There were several times I had the thought to take it but shrugged it off because I already had my phone that was fully charged. As I was finally ready to leave I passed the phone a last time and finally gave in to the feeling that I should take it with me. I threw the kids phone in my purse and was off.

After the temple and a few errands I was loading the Yukon at Costco and realized I didn't have my phone.  I was running late and knew Jarom and Joslyn were going to be getting out of school soon. Did I leave it in Costco? Should I go retrace my steps making me really really late for Jarom and Joslyn? Or was it at Tucanos (the stop I made before Costco)? Suddenly it hit me, " I HAVE THE KIDS PHONE!" I used their phone to call my phone. I was hoping if I did leave it at Costco someone would hear it, answer it, and lead me back to it. After several rings no answer. I tried again but nothing. Last time, ring ring ring...Hello, are you looking for your phone? Yes I am. You left it at Tucanos I have it at the front desk. Amazing.

Driving home I thought how amazing God was. Some people may think it a coincidence I happened to have my kids phone. I chose to believe God knew his daughter would need a little help and gave me the extra nudge needed to get back in a timely matter for Jarom and Jos.

Very grateful for a Father in Heaven that cares about the little things in our lives because it matters to us.
