kids say the darndest things...

"you need one of those spinner things that (AUNT) TERRI needs because your eyes always doesn't look good."

thank you jacob!

i also want to thank those info-mercials that he seems to be gathering a lot of information from. i also need one of those blankets with sleeves to keep me warm, green bags to keep my lettuce from going brown, a hamburger maker thingy....i can't think of anything else right now. but i'm sure there's more!

tonight before bed jacob and i read chapter 3 and 4 in Genesis from the Bible that i just bought him last week. he's really liking the Bible and lot and looks forward to the stories. he's retaining quite a bit. more than i thought he would. i hope that's a good thing...because the Bible can be kind of scary sometimes.

i also purchased a few other books for the kids. one on obedience, self-control, kindness. they are all daily devotionals. then specifically for jack, i bought a children's bedtime Bible stories book. but tonight's story to jack was about how God sometimes tells us, "no." He does this because He knows what's better for us than we do. so i thought this should be shared with jacob, too. then we read about honesty (obedience), not getting angry/counting to 10 and taking a deep breath (self-control) and .... now i can't remember what we read about in kindness. dang! oh well... we talked for a long time after we were done reading. he asked some questions, i made up some answers (like parents do). he said some crazy stuff (see first line of this post), i told him he was crazy. it was a good end to the night. i love my kids. they aren't perfect (neither am i), they drive me crazy (i drive many people crazy)...but they are mine and i wouldn't change that for the world!

goodnight guys! i love you!
