Pickles!

This kid loves pickles! We go through a lot of pickles around our house. He and Mariah both love them and I think they get it from me. My Mom always tells the story about when I was a little girl, I would stand with the refrigerator door open and eat pickles out of the jar, and then complain about how sour they were, lol! I still love pickles to this day. I think of them as one small pleasure in life and I think that Dakota does, too. It sure looks like he was enjoying one that day!

Yesterday, Dakota was evidently pondering very deep thoughts. He was real serious when he said that he wanted to be immortal. When I asked him why, he said that he didn't really want to die and go to hell. (he comes up with some stuff, let me tell ya!). I asked him why would he think that he would go to hell and he said that maybe if he was bad and robbed a bank, then he would go to hell! Well, I told him that no matter what he does in life, as long as he asks for God's forgiveness and really means it, then he would go to heaven, but that he should always try to be good. I think that satisfied him, because he changed the subject to whatever was on tv. He sometimes jumps from one random thing to another! I think that he probably gets that from me, though!
