Four-year-old Theology (In a Nutshell)

Discussing his Pre-K/K Sunday School lessons (with disgust in his voice):

"The week behind, we learned that God made everything. But I knew that already! Today we learned that God made plants, but I knew that already too!"

***

"God is the boss of all the bosses."

***

Mr. Adorable: "There is only one God, Mom."

Me: "Right. But He is at the same time three-in-one; the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit."

Mr. Adorable: "Ah ha! So that's how He can see everything at the same time! The other two help Him!"

Peasant, Pee-sant, Pheasant

Playing dress-up, my oldest daughter asked me:

J: Mom, don't I look just like a princess?

(She's wearing two dresses, three layers of shawls, and a scarf tied over her straw hat...)

Me: Actually, you look more like a peasant girl.

J: Really?!? (runs back upstairs to tell her sisters...)

Later:

J: Mom, did I really look like a pee-sant?

Me: No, you looked like a peh-sant.

Her sister, a few minutes later:

M: Mom, wasn't that funny when J asked if she looked like a pheasant?

Me: No funnier than when you called her a pheasant instead of a peasant!

Lofty Progress

It's not done yet, but remember the loft we were using for storage?

I covered the plywood floor with blankets from Goodwill (a temporary fix until we get around to putting in actual flooring), and we moved the music room/office up into the loft.

With all of the electronics moved upstairs, what was formerly the guest room/office/music room is now just a guest room,

except that we moved the (rarely used) TV in there too, along with all of Stella's paperwork, cleaning supplies, and spare parts.
Now that the TV is no longer taking up space in the living room, there is room for our favorite chair and a lamp!

I'm not sure which is the best part: the newly created favorite reading spot in the living room, or the fact that I now only get on the computer once or twice a day. It's not so convenient to "just check email really quick" when I have to climb two sets of stairs and a ladder to do it!

Reading Record: February

Our Vacation: A New Favorite

Over the long weekend, we visited another (new) favorite vacation spot!

The view from our window on the first morning was awfully snowy,

but the view on the next morning made up for it!

The girls got to ride Brite, Briosa, and Spirit,

and the little cowboy got to ride Cowboy.

But the best part about our new favorite vacation spot

is spending time with the grandparents who live there!

Our Vacation

The kids and I spent this last week at one of our favorite vacation spots.

It's the place where my mending gets done,

the fire in the wood-stove (almost) never goes out,

and I get to go to my favorite bookstores

all by myself,

because we're staying with my parents!

Now that's a vacation!

Reading Record: January

Just for fun, I'm going to show you what I've been reading.

(And in the months to come, when you wonder why I haven't posted anything on my blog lately, you'll have a pretty good idea of what's eating up my "spare" time!)
