The daycare kids made some pictures for Chris' cousin's husband who is in Iraq. (and his name is Chris too - so this could get confusing) I set the kids down before we did the pictures and explained that "Chris" (not my Chris, cousin Chris) was in Iraq and helping to keep us safe. I explained that Iraq was far, far away and that he was away from his family and friends. Kady and Creed have seen pictures of "Chris' kids" on their blog - so they really wanted to make him pictures to "make him happy". Well, everyone started drawing and Kady asked me what all the planet's names were. I was a little confused and asked her to explain why she wanted to know that. She told me she was drawing space and needed to put the planets in the right order with "that place Chris is". I guess her imagination took a hold when I was describing the "Iraq situation" and she thinks that Iraq is in space. (I did say it was far, far away!) I didn't even bother to correct her at the time - it was too cute. I will set her straight another time.

That is so cute! Sometimes I feel like Iraq is somewhere in space at times too! =) Thanks so much for thinking of Chris - I know he'll be excited to see the pictures!
Can't wait to see Kady and Creed when we get home again! I know they are growing up w/0 us there to observe.
