OH! To be a child again


So the 4th of July, there was the annual North Ogden carnival- and with that, the annual Play For The Frog (or whatever, all I know is the prize is a frog) game.
Which is probably the ONLY reason, Chandler wants to go. And yes, we came home with 2 frogs, habitat and 3 months worth of food in a sack the size of a nickle. However, after previous years of attempts (more money for the attempts, and the tears of no frog) of actually WINNING the frogs and ending up just BUYING the frogs. 10.00 all inclusive price- Hence we came home with 2 new frogs!
Well, after a full day of parade sun, carnival sun, and old age- YES---I needed a nap! This is a known opportunistic time of my children for ask for their inner most desires. Chandler asked if she could use a kitchen bowl to make a pond for the frogs? And in my usual most slumbersome answer--Sure! I don't care!
I awake to find my nicest stainless mixing bowel as our new frog, fish habitat! But I had to say, It was darn cute how they had all the "rocks, lilly pads, flowers and most greatest pond ever!" for the "Most cutest, Frogs in the WHOLE WIDE WORLD- (named Romeo and Julliet)!" That in my old age, and new awakening of whats really important, that I chose to enjoy their imagination and creativity, and not care about my bowl ( OKAY! OKAY! I know I dont cook! But, its a hardly used bowel!) to sit back and just watch the imagination, joy and fun of 2 little girls!
