Salvation History Continues

The Christmas Story

So we've covered Creation and the Adam and Eve story...my kids are loving these by the way. Today's being the Feast Day of St. Joseph I thouht it would be the perfect kick off to Jesus's story.

So last we left our Bible time, Adam and Even had gotten kicked out of Garden of Eden...sad yes...but there is HOPE...and now we introduce Him! The source of all our hope.

Friday

Oh-oh! A snowstorm!

"Oh-oh! A snowstorm!
A swirling, whirling snowstorm.
We can't go over it.
We can't go under it.


Oh, no!
We've got to go through it!"


Well...at least the kids are happy about it!

When I Feel Mad
by Bonnie Lockhart
Ó2002 Bonnie Lockhart

chorus:
When I feel mad, I hiss like a snake (ssss).
I roar like a bear (grrr). What a noise I make!
I stomp my feet, and I might just shout (Hey!).
But I don’t have to hurt anybody to let my anger out.

`Cause I use words, words make me strong
And I can tell everybody just what is wrong.
I can say “Stop!” (Stop, Stop). I can say “No!” (No).
I can say I need a turn, I can say leave me alone.
(chorus)

And when I’m mad, here’s how I know.
I’ve got some place in my body that tells me so.
Could be my throat (gulp!).
Could be my chest (cough!).
Could be my fists or my belly,
My body knows the best!
(chorus)

Friday

Are you smarter then a fifth Grader?

Christian was watching this with daddy last night (I was upstairs putting Sarah to sleep) and when the question was 'how many sides does a decagon have'...Christian goes...1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10...ten sides! LOL. Hmmm...maybe he can be one of those kids on the show soon...hmmm...they probably have to be at least in pre-school to be on it...so we might have to wait on this one since we aren't officially starting preschool with him until this coming Fall...lol.

draw them close

» Blog Archive » A Thought: "The closer we pull our child towards ourselves, in a wholesome and healthy manner, the farther we allow our child to ultimately soar. It is paradoxically by being emotionally close to your child that we give him/her the ability to mature into an effective adult."
