Green vs. Blue

This marks my 100th post. If I were like a professional blogger and had some sponsors or something, I could like...give away a prize or something. Instead, I'm a not right now working photographer living on dollars in a british pound world. So hug yourself and make that your prize. hahaha
Well, a hug from yourself IS a good thing sometimes you know. :)

Just a quickie. I know. Unheard of when it comes to me and talking, typing etc...

The boys have their favorite colors. Even though, from within the womb I was certain Cody's favorite color was always going to be green. Even though I color coded all their things. Blue for Kade and Green for Cody, they decided that ACTUALLY, Kade loves green and Cody loves blue.
Well...at least they kept it simple so I didn't have to toss all my color coding. I didn't have to go buy plum with orange specks or something.

Today in the car Kade said that his favorite color is green, as he tells me just about every single day. He said that green was his favorite color and Cody loves blue, to which Cody enthusiastically agreed.
He said that he loves the green grass. The grass is green like his favorite color, so the grass is his. His green grass. Then he said that Cody loves the blue sky because the sky is blue, and that is Cody's favorite color.
"So the green, green grass is mine Mommy and the blue, blue sky is Cody's".

For whatever reason, that struck me as incredibly sweet and innocent. At four years old, you can imagine every single blade of grass in the world belonging solely to you because it bears your favorite color and every morning as the sun rises, the sky chooses to turn a brilliant shade of blue because it is the color your little brother loves best. It turned his favorite color that day just because it is Co's favorite, so therefore, it must simply belong to him only.

I shall explain in more depth at my next posting as I'm being bellowed at from downstairs, but there have been some changes going on with me and frankly, I'm damn happy and it is about damn time. An immense difference and starting to feel so much like my old self again, I really hope so I think the world deserves the old Aimee back, it's been such a damn mess w/out her really. hahaha!

Love to all.

Our hearts and prayers go out to a fellow airman today as he received some very tragic news from home and had to leave his wife and children here to go tend to this awful awful situation. Something we cannot imagine and well, there just are not words to say that could ever say enough how sorry we are for the loss and the circumstance in which it came about.
