A Walk to The Jungle

We went for a walk to the jungle today.

Disclaimer:  Imagination vs lying can be confusing to young children, and this confusion can also be used as an excuse for older children who know how wrong lying is.  Therefor, before I begin, I will say that we definately used our imaginations today, and it was fun, and it was OK because no one reading this is going to believe that we walked to the jungle after church and rode lions!

Today after church, we went for a walk ... to the jungle.  It was alot of exploring.

There was alot of wildlife ...

 crocodiles,
 butterflies,
snakes,
and hippo's.

Local grub...

And adventure...

mom found some quicksand...

Sprout marked the 'X' for the treasure...

Speedy climbed the tallest trees...

a big bird swooped him up and dropped him into a nest...

Seedling and Speedy got caught in a mudslide...

Speedy found some eggs... are they crocodile eggs, or maybe dinosaur eggs...

and mom even brough something home to remember our adventure!

WIP: Lord's Prayer Poster

One day, we spent a long time painting.  We painted a huge poster.  We painted beautiful colors, all light, and we blended them, and tried different patterns.

Then it looked very beautiful when we were done.  The last thing was to write The Lord's Prayer on it.  Then we framed it, and hung it on my bedroom wall.

Now my room gets something beautiful, and I have something to remind me to pray more.

Half Beautiful, Half Muddy Time of the Year (SPRING)

Today was the first day of spring.

Seed is wanting to go outside all the time, and now it's spring. She has my old summer hat on, Sprout's rubber boots, and definately her own spring dress.

I am splashing in the puddles, getting all soaked. I jumped, I tried jumping into a different pile of water, but I slipped on my feet and fell on my bum on the hard cold ice. The ice hurt my bum. I came into the house half crying, and half cold. I got dressed, and wanted to go back outside, but my mom said "there are jammies out here if you are looking for warm clothes, don't put on your new pants to go back outside".

The end.

Good Movies, but Bad Fish

I like watching movies about real animals. It was piranha s and 2 kinds of kurrocor diyols. and wiyuld animals... It's cool because it is real fish and real animals and they do real things. The not cool thing is they can bite people.

 The Letter A ...
...is the first letter of the alphabet, so I will start here!

A is for apple. Why is it so tasty?

Speedy's Story

Speedy usually isn't very talkative on Sundays when he is released from Sunday School.  If I ask about his class, I usually get an "I don't know" or, "I'll tell you later."  Either way, I do get to hear about it later.  In great detail. 

This week, when I asked about the picture he made, I got the "I'll tell you later". 

When Maverick asked what they did, Speedy told him they learned about Jesus being born.  Maverick thought June was a weird time to learn about Christmas. Speedy then elaborated. "God is love because he gave Jesus to be born to save us." OK.  That made a little more sense.

It wasn't until Monday night over dinner that Speedy finally unpacked the story about his picture.  And a story it was ...

"One day, Jesus came to visit me at my house.  We did a couple games, then a couple puzzles and books.  Then we went outside and played soccer.

Then me and Jesus builded a big church - a huge church.  All the children in the world went inside the church and Jesus told them about him and God.

And then God made a big, huge field - bigger than lots of soccer fields - and all the children had a team.  God's team.  They broke into a thousand and ten teams.  Yeah, but God did not let Satan's people play.

Their mom's and dad's and grandma's and grandpa's came to watch them play, and to watch Jesus play.

Then they ate supper.  Jesus took the bread, broke it in half, and gave it to all the children. He said, "Eat this; it is my body."  Then he took wine, and said "drink this, this is my blood I'll give to you".  And they all prayed, ate the bread, prayed again, and drank the wine.  Then Jesus got food out - perogies with his body, and juicy sausages with his blood.  That is what he gave them.

After they ate, they had a meeting, and talked.  They talked about fighting Satan and the devil.  Then they went out and did it!  But it wasn't real fighting.  They said God's word, and they prayed.  And guess what?  Satan did not bother ANYONE! and it was the happiest world ever!

THE END

This is the story from Speedy's picture,
and this is the story that he wrote."

Wow!  My hand was sore, and the writing was very messy to keep up with him, but there it is!

p.s.  I checked with his ss.teacher, and they did do the Christmas Story in June - but with a twist!

I was making a transformer poster. At the bottom, it shows you who is allowed to look at the top and who is not. First of all, there is the girls, which aren't allowed to look at the top of the poster because girls don't like transformers and fighting. It says that boys are, and boys only are allowed to look at the top because they like transforers and fighting, but some boys don't.















I wrote on my poster that I have transformers at my house, that is the favorite thing in my life. I want it to be the only thing I have. There is nothing on the back, so I wrote a big X to let them know. I wrote all about transformers so that if some boys don't know, they can look at it and learn about the guns and stuff. Well, I accidentally made a mistake: I made Optimus Prime be the smallest one, by mistake, it was supposed to be Bumblebee who was the smallest of the Autobot group, and I had to make Bumblebee be the biggest one because then people would be thinking there was three Autobots, but I only know 2: Bumblebee, the Buggy Bumblebee, Optimus Prime, and the twins, but I didn't make the twins yet. Maybe I will put them on today. Today I will make them, but when I make them, they willl probably look like the real ones, but I can't usually make the cars that similar, but I know I will today. Today is the day that I will make them finished, but maybe not. But today or tommorow I will go somewhere with only boys and I will show them everything about it, about fighting and transformers, when I am done.
I made this because transformers are my favorite. The End.

A Spring Walk to the Park

The weather has been getting warmer, and today we took time out for  a walk to the park.  Seed was the only one who got a free ride! She sported her new sunglasses, but decided it was still best to sleep for the duration of the walk. The see-saw produced a lot of smiles (yes, there has been a fine line between play and praise for Speedy lately) ... but it was the monkey bars that stole their attentions.

Speedy just learnt to hang upside down ... first time ever was on a swinging trapeez bar, believe it or not!  How could this possibly make me nervous?  I enjoyed watching, and snapped up these photos.  I was just thankful that Sprout was uninterested, and wandering around, exploring!
