While I'm getting ready for church this morning I hear Luke singing at the top of his lungs..."Thank you for the cross, thank you for the cross, thank you for the cross MY FRIEND!" {if that doesn't prepare your heart to worship... :)}

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

{In the car}
Me: What's your favorite animal?
Taylor: A ground hog.
Nick: Eww
Taylor: No, stop it Daddy, that's not nice. They are not ew, they are nice.
Nick: When did you ever pet one. They will bite you.
Taylor: No they won't. They are nice Daddy.
Nick: Who told you they are nice?
Taylor: Jesus did.
{what do you say to that lol}

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

{Taylor "reading" a book}
Taylor: That's dangerous.
Me: What's dangerous?
Taylor: This, God made it that way.

{over hearing their conversation this morning}
Taylor: Luke, that hurts my feelings. {pouting}
Luke: Taylor, I don't understand what you're talking about. {looking concerned}
Taylor: You're making me sad Luke. It's not nice.
Luke: Oh, okay. I'm sorry.
Taylor: Thank you. {attitude completely changes to chipper}

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

{During a drive we saw a deer, watched it for a little and then it ran into the woods}
Taylor: AWWWWWWW he was sooooooooo cute. He was just a baby. He was going to find his mommy.
Luke: He found his mommy!
All: YAY!
Taylor: Awww he's happy he found his mommy.
Luke: But he's sad because he can't find his daddy.
Taylor: He found his daddy.
All: YAY!
Luke: He's happy now.

{Luke making up a song in the car}
Luke: The soldiers were not nice to Jesus......he died on the cross......he was sad. But he's ALIVE again! Christ the Lord is risen today........{on and on}

Taylor picked up a one dollar bill off my desk and says...this looks like grandpa! :) lol Then she said...Mom.......this money is ADORABLE and it's crunchy!!!! lol

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

Luke: When I was little (he means when he grows up) I wanna be a basketball player, baseball player, football player, tennis ball player, golf ball player, volleyball player, and soccer ball player.

Me: Taylor, what do you wanna be?

Taylor: A ballerina, a ballerina, and a ballerina.

Me: Anything else?

Taylor: nope.

Taylor is making up her own worship music lol...she was just singing this: I'm not the same anymore....the Lord is my Shepherd......I have Everything I need! When I'm afraid...I will trust you Jesus! Christ the Lord is risen today, Alleluia! I have 5 loaves and two fish but you can have them!!!! I'm singing to you Jesus!!!!

Did a little devotion on Forgiveness with Luke and Taylor before nap and it soooooo showed how very different they are.

Question: Have you ever done anything that you knew was wrong?
Luke: Yeaaaaaaa....
Me: What have you done that you knew was wrong?
Luke: Well, {sigh} sometimes I hit sissy and sometimes I pester her and sometimes I throw a fit. It's not good.
Me: What about you Taylor, have you ever done anything that you knew was wrong?
Taylor: Nope.
Me: You've never done anything wrong?
Taylor: Nope.

Then we read the story of the podigal son. (Luke 15:11-24) And read a story about a boy who broke a lamp by throwing a ball inside the house even though he knew he was breaking a rule.

We talked about how God is like the father who forgives us when we ask. And how we also should forgive others because God forgave us. And how there are consequences for our actions even though God forgives us when we ask.

Then I asked again:
Have you ever done something wrong, Taylor?
Taylor: {looks down} Yeah, sometimes I'm wrong for not listening and obeying my parents.
Me: What do you get in trouble for a lot Luke?
Luke: Ummm....prolly, hitting Taylor.
Me: Let's pray and ask God to help us with those thing.
Taylor: Yeah...that would be a good idea. :)
Luke: Yeah...don't ya think, Mom?
{so we prayed} <3 these two stinkers.
