Unanswered Prayers

Lately we have really been teaching the kids the importance of prayers and how you can pray anytime and anywhere. We always say a little prayer before they go to school and they ask me to pray that they can do good on their math. (Macee has not enjoyed Kindergarten math lately). We went to Fairfield this weekend to watch Tate play basketball (by the way good job Tate, we had fun watching you). On the way home last night we had some sour patch kids in the car and Macee really wanted some. I was trying to divert her by trying to get her to eat a granola bar or crackers. This is how our conversation went:

Macee: Mom can I have some sour patch kids?
Me: No, why don't you eat something else.

a few moments of silence follow

Macee: Mom can I please have some sour patch kids?
Me: No
Macee: GRRRR. You were supposed to say yes.
Me: Why is that?
Macee: Because I just said a prayer that you would give me some.
Me and Nels: Laughing to ourselves (I guess not all prayers are answered).

How can you not love Macee's personality. She does not leave you two with a dull moment does she.

What a cutie at least she is getting on to saying prayers for all the little things in life. It's funny the your wards were divided last week because our wards here were as well. That would of been so sad not to be in your ward anymore. Are your still in your parents ward? Hope things are going good with the new baby. I love keeping in touch like this so fun have a great day :).
