God gave them "milk & cereal"

It was Landon's turn to go to Mawmaw's house. (Or as Landon would say, "Me? Mawmaw? Her truck?") So, that left just Ethan, Morgan, and Mommy. It gave me time to focus on Ethan and this is what we did to fill up some of the time...we made a ...guitar!

Creating his masterpiece

I would really like to saturate my children's minds with God's Word. Let me tell you, easier said than done if you are the parent of my eldest - Ethan! A couple of days in a row he listened to a certain Bible story about the Israelites journey to the Promised Land. I was quizzing him a day or so later and told him how God was bringing the Israelites to a land flowing with milk and ______. (wanting him to fill in the blank.) He piped up and said, "Cereal!" Ahh! He eats honey on his bran flakes...so I am assuming it was a slight mix up since he is only 4! Hilarious! He keeps me smiling!

A baptism was held yesterday afternoon and we were going to be taking Ethan and I left the two other kids with mom. (Thanks, Mom!) As I was cleaning up after lunch, I tried to explain why the people were going to "go under the water" with Pawpaw Clemens help. "Oh!," came his reply, " is Pawpaw going to throw them in?" Where did he get that? What picture had I painted in his mind?!! This was even a better question than the ones before "the talk" since those were along the lines of "are they going to fish?" ...smiles...
