Music to my ears

Today we decorated for Thanksgiving at my house. Everyone pitched in and had a good time.  At one point the kids were happily singing songs while scrubbing up some votive candle holders for one of the decorations.  I just stood in the hall and listened because it was so happy. :)

We practiced.
Lots.
We needed naps.
And prayer
.
I got to help decorate at church while the kids played the drums and then football outside. That was fun.
.
A friend bought my kids slingshots.
.
We have had more timeouts today than all the last few months combined, but we are (hopefully) making progress. Training parents is hard.
.
The caramel bag exploded everywhere.  I laughed.
.
We watched White House Down this evening. Maybe a bit too much, but the kids were enthralled.  We now have a secret service wannabe.
.
If you are going to dream,
Dream big
.
It is wrong of me, but I was glad to hear they are gone now. I pray they learn to be better wherever they land.

It relieved his mind to know he hadn't been the one to initially break confidence, but I wonder if he really thinks it excuses him from the promise if the other party already knows? What are your thoughts? Is he really trustworthy? Does it excuse him?
