Snippets

{Luke had to go sit in the bathroom because he was screaming and throwing a fit because he couldn't draw his lion the way he wanted it, wow! Anyhow, after getting things straightened out and playing for a bit, he comes running up to me with a suspicious smile...}
Me: What are you up to?
Luke: Look at my smile Mommy! I changed my attitude!
Taylor: {jumping up and down, clapping} YAY LUKE!
Luke: I'm choosing to be happy now. :)
{must be the day for attitudes needing changed.}

{Today I thought I'd try teaching the kids how to spell some 3 letter words, I had a picture of a dog and before I even got the letters out for them...}
Luke: I know how to spell DOG Mom.
Me: You do? How?
Luke: D-O-G...{then he uses the phonic sounds} See Mom, I already know how to spell it! :)
Me: When did you learn that?
Luke: You taught it to me in the car, remember Mom?
{I remember he figured out how to spell DIG when we were watching the digging of our basement...but I don't remember....glad their memory is WAY better than mine

----------------

Taylor: Mom! My honey mustard turned into wine!
{any guesses what the kids learned about today at CBS?}

{Luke and Taylor were playing on our bed with their "friends" (stuffed animals and babies) when...}
{THUMP}
Taylor: OH NO! Baby fell off the bed! Are you okay baby?
Luke: Is she okay?
Taylor: No, she isn't. Where do you hurt baby? She hurts ALL over!
Luke: Bring her here.
{I peek in to see Taylor holding the baby and Luke laying his hands on her}
Luke: Jesus, I pray that you would heal baby all over in the name of Jesus and that you'll help her deal with the pain as she's healing, In Jesus name I pray, Amen.
Taylor: She's healed!
{both Luke and Taylor run into me jumping up and down all excited}
Taylor: Mommy! Baby fell and Luke prayed for her and she's healed! Thank you Jesus!

{overhearing them play in their room with a block puzzle}
Luke: Ummm....Taylor, it isn't gonna be that easy.
Taylor: Sure it is Luke. Don't worry about it, it's so easy. You're not gonna be able to believe it.

{Luke and Taylor were playing in their room and come running out to me}
Luke: Our friends are blinded and we need to lift them up to heaven so Jesus and God can heal them. We have them all wrapped in a blanket but we need help lifting them to heaven.
Taylor: C'mon Mom, I'm sooo excited. We're gonna take out friends to heaven so Jesus can heal them in the name of Jesus Christ!
{walk into their room and ALL of their stuffed animals and babies are wrapped up in Luke's comforter on the floor}
Me: How are we gonna lift them to heaven?
Luke: Well you see...heaven is my bed and we need your help to lift them to heaven.
{so we lifted them onto Luke's bed}
Taylor: I'm so excited, so excited. Now they won't be blinded anymore. Jesus and God are healing them!
Luke: Thank you Jesus and God....my friends are healed!
