Dead Bird

The other day the kids were playing in the empty lot across the street from our house (I think it's going to be their "hang-out" spot this summer), and they found a dead bird. Alex proceeded to dig a hole in which to bury the bird. I was then told that the kids gave the bird a kiss (apparently - and hopefully - they kissed their hands and touched the bird instead of using their lips), then said a short prayer and laid the little thing to rest.
That night Alex gave our family prayer before bed which included the following: "Please bless that all the dead birds will go to heaven."

Let's just admit it, I have really sweet kids. Who don't mind touching dead animals. Ew.

And a random picture of Samantha and her St. Patrick's Day drawing. All this kid draws are butterflies, rainbows, smiley faces, birds, cats, and her family. It's a good thing! She is one happy little girl!!

what the kids forgot to tell you is that Alex gave the bird CPR before they decided to kiss the bird.

Moo looks so old in that picture.
