Friday Fragments - Liam's Birthday Weekend

Thanks to Mrs. 4444's for hosting Friday Fragments...

• Tomorrow is Liam's sixth birthday - hard to believe he is already a kindergarten-er.
• On a related note: His birthday will feature construction theme.  It should be interesting party with his school friends and some longer term playmates coming.
• Heather is attending a blogger conference today with some Disney folks.  She is excited because she is meeting several other bloggers.  Really, it looks like a gigantic Mommies Night Out Plus as I notice I was not invited.
• On a related note: Hope the content isn't Mickey Mouse - not that I am jealous or anything.

• It has been great having my parents here this week.  We have got a lot done around the house including a smack load of painting.  
• On a related note: Thanks to them for coming down for a work-cation.
• Erik is a bundle of energy.  I get tired just watching him. I am however currently fighting to keep him awake.  He wants to have a dinner nap and I actually want him to sleep tonight.  We will see who wins this war of wills.
• He is almost two and thinks he is 20. 
• Took this picture the other day; is this trying to tell me something?

• On a related note: I would try to find religion but I didn't know it was lost.  

On a serious note, this week I had to discuss with Robyn a story she read in which many people were saying that God and religion have no place in schools.  While I am not personally religious, I respect people that are and that they have the freedom to make that choice.   While some will distort religion for their own personal gains; the basic tenants of traditional religions are good and should not be readily discarded.  I am all for reminders that we have to treat each other with love and respect.  If it takes religion to get someone to believe and live that way - I am all for it.
