Adventures
Here we record the adventures that we take as a family, near and far.
We try to teach the boys to be respectful in different ways. One thing that we have told them is to call policemen "officers" not "cops." I just overheard EdWord ask one of his brothers, "You wanna play Robbers and Officers?" (AKA Cops and Robbers)
At Walmart, they have Christmas trees and decorations for sale now, and so I asked one of the workers, "Y'all know it's September, right?" She replied, "I know; we're running behind getting our school supplies out of here!"
Nope, that's not what I meant. :-)
Tonight as I was admitted back into the hospital, up on a high floor, I can see for miles. And I was struck by the number of lights - lights that represent people; people who have souls, and are in need of a Saviour. My prayer list tonight (and view from my hospital window).
I love to overhear my boys having conversations with each other about God.
Boy 1: "Do you realize that God built EVERYTHING that we see!"
Boy 2: "No, What He did, is that He made this great big giant ball and then WE got to build on it!"
The boys are convinced that we are having roast alligator for supper.
"Wolled away! Wolled away! All da bu'dens o' my heart are wolled away!" I love hearing my three-year-old sing out at the top of his lungs!
That's what's on the schedule so far this morning for us men. Yep, I am eating pickles and watching volcanoes erupt on YouTube with my boys so their Mama can sleep in this morning.
Ever since I was a little boy, I have never been able to figure out how to make a paper boat. Paper airplanes of different kinds were no problem - but boats were a different story.
It turns out that I just needed the right motivation. There's something about your little boy thinking that "Papa can do anything" and begging you to make him a paper boat like his teacher did that motivates you to figure it out. And I did. Today, I successfully made my first paper boat!
Ahh, it's March, and Spring is in the air, Northwest style...
