Our Special little...wait, BIG bunch of sweeties
I had to write these things down so I would not forget and thought I would share them with the rest of you.
Things Mallory says:
You know that kids song "I'm in the Lords Army" Well at the part that is supposed to say I may never march in the infantry or ride in the Calvary.... Mallory's version goes like this.
I may never march in the impitry, ride in the calorie.... I guess her army contains impotent, calorie counting soldiers.
She calls exercises, extrercise.
Joseph in the Bible is Jofis.
She calls sneezing, Bless Yous. She will come over to me and say "Did you hear that big bless you I just had?" or "Rachel just did a bless you!"
Other fun things said by all the kids:
Yesterday, on the way to church we got talking bout Moses and the Red Sea and the Israelites. Dalton shared with us about how Moses got the Ten Commandments and that one of them was about idols. We were talking to the kids about what an idol is. We used the example of money. We were talking about how you can't take things here on earth to heaven or hell with you. The people who make money their idol always want for more and are never satisfied and money or the idol becomes their focus in life. Etc, etc... Matt said that is why I choose to follow God and have God in my life. Jack said, "It's not even a choice. I just do follow God, why would it even be a choice?" Really awesome to hear him say that! Like...DUH people, it's not even a choice..hello?
Then after church we got out of the car to go in to a store and Mallory started asking for gum. Matt said we'll see but lets focus on having fun and behaving ourselves in here. The kids said "Yah, Mallory, don't make gum your idol." Hahaha...too funny
We went to Target to let the kids spend their Valentine gift cards and money they received from family yesterday. When we were in Target all the kids were busy trying to choose the perfect thing to spend their money on. Jack kept coming up empty handed. He really didn't know what to buy. Everyone else already had their things picked out. He came upon these blow up punching bags. The kind that are weighted at the bottom and bounce back up when you hit it. He asked Matt how much it was. It was four dollars. He said 4 + 4 that's 8 dollars, right? Can I buy one for Dalton too? What generosity. We were so proud of him. He wasn't asked to buy someone something else, Dalton already had his toys picked out, he didn't even think about himself. Really special.
