Over Eatin'

From Avery on the farm


From Owen on the farm


From Sheep Shed 2

Who had a great time at the Sheep Shed?

My animal lovin' kids!

The very first Kindergarten field trip of the year, Owen and I discovered Avery's first crush.

This time, we weren't surprised that it was her friend, Brady L she wanted to follow around the farm. At 5 years of age, Miss Avery's already boy crazy. I can't imagine where she gets that? Wink, wink.

Brady L, who lives in our neighborhood, was over playing the other day. He and Avery were sitting at the kitchen counter waiting patiently as I sliced some apples for a snack.

"I am going to eat 1,000 apple slices," Brady declared.

"If you eat 1,000 apple slices, you'll be sick," Miss Avery assures.

"Are you Mormon?" Brady blurts.

"Ya," Avery replies.

"You believe differently than I do." Brady remarks.

I can't help but to smile.

"Mom?" Avery questions.

"If you eat 1,000 apple slices, will you get sick?"

"Ya," I start to explain when I am interrupted mid word.

"Are you Mormon?" Brady questions with a look of all serious concern across his sweet, 5 year old face.

"Yes." "Guilty." I reply.

Shaking his head he says, "You believe differently than I do."

"That might be true," I tell him. "But I am pretty sure, if you eat 1,000 of anything, whether it be something healthy like an apple slice or not, you'll probably feel sick."

Oh, Brady L, you gave me a good laugh! Believe me, Mormon or not, this Big Mama knows a thing or two about feelin' sick from Over Eatin'.
