While laying on the trampoline looking at the stars, Jake told Scott that a few days ago he made a wish on a star but was sad because it hasn't come true. Scott asked what he had wished for but Jake didn't want to tell him in case it stopped the wish from coming true. Scott told him it was ok to tell his Dad, so Jake sat up and said very seriously ... "I wished it would rain candy".
I won't lie and tell you I haven't been trying to think of ways I can make it rain candy, because I have. I thought of a plane (too expensive), me standing on the roof throwing candy.. possible??? I'll keep you posted if I come up with anything brilliant. Lol! But honestly, I love the moments when I get to see the world the way Jake does because I love his world and I hope he can live in it as long as possible. I mean, who wouldn't want to live in a world where you truly believe that magic is real and all your wishes, fortunes (from fortune cookies) and your dreams will all come true?
This isn't the greatest picture as Jake desperately needs a hair cut and has chocolate on his teeth and Scott looks like he is half dead. Lol!!! But you can see the excitement on Jake's face, they had so much fun!!
Jake is adorable!!
ReplyDeleteI want to live in Jake's world. I wish it would rain candy too, more specifically chocolate. What a cute kid! Let us know if you get on your roof to throw candy and we will come support:)
ReplyDeleteJake's mega watt smile says it all and sleepy Dad was a very good sport.
ReplyDeleteYeah for summer memories. Loved seeing you while we were in Utah!
