Ah, The Mind of a 4 Year Old!

Tonight at dinner, Ethan offered the following prayer:

Bless mommy and daddy.
Bless the food that it will be good and that I will get BIG...STRONG...MUSCLES!
Bless my airplane that it won't fall apart.
Bless Spiderman that he will feel good and happy and get lots of rest.
Bless Santa that he will give me LOTS of presents.

It was all we could do to not crack up. It was so stinkin' cute.

On another note, here are some pictures of Ethan from his first preschool field trip to the grocery store. (Sorry the pictures aren't great. They were taken from my cell phone.)
His favorite thing at the grocery store is getting to see the lobsters in their tank. So, as you can imagine, getting to see them up close and personal was a real thrill. He couldn't quite work up the guts to touch it though - even though their claws had rubber bands on them. He wasn't about to take the chance!
Each child was able to scan some items and work at the check out. The woman in this photo gave the tour and taught all the kids to scream MOO really loud. Then she had them stand behind the milk section and scream MOO to scare the customers buying milk. So cute! The day concluded with cookies, juice and a sticker. What more could a little guy want? :)

Looks like a fun field trip! I think little kids say the best prayers :)
