Labor Day Happenings

By -
This is our Labor Day so far:

Daddy came in late last night from church. He has had a very busy weekend.

So, this morning, the children are wishing Daddy had more energy. They are fussing over something I can't figure out. They are pretending that Paul is a toy. He likes being held upside down. The girls are fighting over a change purse that has 37 cents in it.

There will be more later. The older three are on the patio while Paul pretends Daddy is a jungle gym.

4:00 p.m.
We promised the children that if they would be good while we take them to Triad Park we would have ice cream for dinner. This is something we do once a summer. They were thrilled. They love going to Triad Park. Here are pictures of all of them taking their turn on the swings.



And one more of the foursome on the bottom of the slide:

I like my pumpkin doodle bug, princess, twinkle toes and snuggle bug love Triad Park. It is a wonderful place to go and play. Wish I had been there! Looks like it was fun.

Pretty...

Hello There! There is something that has bothered me for years. I have begun to do better, and encouraged others to change their ways. This is it... Why do people almost always compliment little girls on their appearance first? Little girls are held to a higher standard in regard to their appearance and little boys are held to a very low standard regarding their behavior. This baffles me. I know you've heard it, probably even done it.  What's the first thing most people say to a little girl? "You're so pretty!" "Your dress is so pretty!" Why not compliment how compassionate & respectful she is because you just witnessed her let an older person get on the elevator first? Brave because you see the band-aid on her arm from a doctor visit? Smart...maybe she has a book in her hand! Funny...did she just tell the best joke you've heard all week? Creative...does she have an ornate hairstyle?  Or an outfit you would have never

Train Up A Child... Christmas edition

Many have asked how we teach our children about Jesus and still participate in the fun of Santa, Elf on the Shelf, etc... I say it simply, they know that Jesus is the true reason for Christmas.  I have had a motto for many years, " If all we put into their little hearts & minds is JESUS, then He is all that will come out!"   Here are some things we do: We GO to church.  We do not go out of habit or obligation, we go because we want to worship corporately every chance we get.  Our children have all attended Sunday school since they were very young.  I was the Mom bringing my baby to church at 9 days old, 4 days old, two weeks old...  As soon as I was able to get myself dressed by church time, we were there. Since our children were all very young, we have had nightly devotion time as a family.  Sometimes, this has been a simple prayer together after a long day.  More recently, we actually read from a children's devotional book.  The children often read it then D

A few weeks ago school started here in FullerTown. We didn't have much homework that first week. Yay!!  Then last week, we didn't have ANY due to an evening event at the church that sponsors the school.   We were really excited!  A long weekend made us feel like we were on vacation.  This week, the homework has hit us full-force. We are on the midst of learning new spelling words, Bible verses, etc...  We are also collecting insects and bark rubbings for two different projects.  May this be our best school year yet!!!
