Friday night and all day Saturday has already come and gone. How does it go by so quickly? Every single week just flies by. I would like to put the brakes on and just put us ALL in a time out … just to sit back and enjoy everyone; but life doesn't offer us that option. However, each day DOES have 86,400 seconds in it (I learned this on Facebook this week) and I hope that I can make the best of them while I am still young and healthy ...
We studied about Cain and Abel this week. Such a sad story … but even with all of the bad stuff that happened in the story, we are not left without hope.
So we learned a little bit about pleasing sacrifices and talked about how serious sin is and how God requires payment, retribution, and how Jesus was God's perfect lamb. The kiddos did a great job coloring the illustrations as I taught ...
They are very serious about their art work!
It was Emma's turn to choose the movie of the week, and she chose "The Secret Garden." I love that story! So we watched it together on my laptop, with everyone in their pajamas, cuddled up in sleeping bags. It was a nice time. I think all of the children were actually soundly sleeping by 11:30--nearly a miracle!
We had a somewhat late breakfast, but that was okay because everyone slept in! This is good!
Christopher brought over lots of his own art supplies and kept busy all weekend drawing NFL team logos ...
We ate lots and lots of mostly healthy food … fruit and dip, salad, veggies and dip … pizza and ice cream (!!) ...
The kids all get a bang out of my humidifier and like to put their faces in the steam!
Emma Joy continues to learn more piano skills each week. She has a lot of music in her. I am so glad.
When I took the children home tonight, I came in to play for awhile. Emma had wanted to show me the little piano she designed using her mini-LEGOS that Aunt Kelly had given her. Look how great she did!
We played in Emma's room for a little while ...
Christopher! I love your smile, sweetheart! I am so glad you came over this weekend. I love spending time with you.
And I also got to play with Kaity-Girl. She is the cutest little thing.
Look at that smile!
She laughs and laughs, skips, plays ball, runs in circles … endless energy, this one!
Christopher was playing a game pretending that he was stuck underneath Kaity's train table. She kept saying "Guck." "Help." So we kept yanking Christopher out by his feet ...
It was quite a game, and Kaity enjoyed herself hugely. Christopher even admitted to having fun!
Well guys, this grandma is one tired lady tonight. But it is the very best kind of exhausted there is.
