We had so much fun tonight at the prayer meeting. I love having time to spend with the Lord, and having time to spend with the kids... such a great mixture. While in prayer tonight someone mentioned having the faith of a child (Mark 10:15) and it fit perfectly with the time I had with the kids beforehand. What a great live illustration!

oh the humanity!
Isaac and I had a conversation on the way home that went like this...
Isaac: I don't like __________.
Me: Isaac that's not very nice, Jesus wants us to love everyone.
Isaac: I do love everyone... except for ___________.
Me: Isaac, that makes Jesus very sad.
Isaac: Why is Jesus sad? I love LOTS of OTHER people!
Me: But why don't you love __________?
Isaac: It's hard loving lots of people and I'm very tired.
Me: Isaac that's not very nice, Jesus wants us to love everyone.
Isaac: I do love everyone... except for ___________.
Me: Isaac, that makes Jesus very sad.
Isaac: Why is Jesus sad? I love LOTS of OTHER people!
Me: But why don't you love __________?
Isaac: It's hard loving lots of people and I'm very tired.
I think we will be memorizing John 13:34,35 this week!
Our Indoor Adventure @ Home...
The kids had been gone for the beginning of the week, so today we decided to have our adventure at home today. We did something different in every room of the house. We started off with making a MEGA-fort in our living room...
Then it was off to Zoey's room for an indoor picnic lunch...

big brothers take care of little sisters!
Tonight we had quite a traumatic moment. I told Isaac to keep Zoey out of the bathroom- she tends to enjoy messing around in the toilet. I heard him telling her she wasn't allowed to go in there and then I heard a loud slam... followed by a ear piercing scream. I knew what I was going to find as I ran down the hall. Zoey was holding her limp hand screaming at the top of their lungs and Isaac was freaking out. It was pretty bad. Chris and I debated on whether or not to take her to urgent care... and although her all 4 fingers swelled up and bruised, she started using her hand like normal so we stayed home. We explained to Isaac what had happened and how to keep it from happening again and then we all prayed for Zoey. Although it was an awful experience, it was neat to see how much Isaac was concerned for his baby sister. He continually wanted to make sure she was alright and wouldn't stop hugging and kissing her to show her he loved her. This parent thing can definitely kick adrenaline in gear, that's for sure!Friday, August 7, 2009
don't make me pretty like a girl!
Favorite conversations of our impromptu hair cutting night...
Me: I think I am going to take Isaac to get a haircut tomorrow.
Chris: Why? I can do it!
Me: Chris, are you sure you know how? Do you want me to try?
Chris: I know how to cut hair! I had mine cut all the time!
Isaac: Dad, this doesn't look right.
Chris: Don't judge a book until you read the ending.
Isaac: Just don't make me pretty like a girl!
Me: I think I am going to take Isaac to get a haircut tomorrow.
Chris: Why? I can do it!
Me: Chris, are you sure you know how? Do you want me to try?

Our Wednesday Adventure...
For our adventure today, we met Mary Ann for lunch at a pretty crazy park. It was probably more like a "high ropes course" for kids then anything else and Isaac LOVED it.
