MrsA

We often talk to the kids about what was their high, low, buffalo (surprise), and hero for the day.

Mrs A to L3 (3.5yrs) And do you have a hero?
L3: Ummm, you.
MrsA: Thanks! What did I do to be your hero?
L3: Keeped me safe.

L2 (6yrs) had a substitute teacher he didn’t like.   This was one of the conversations he had with his brother about her.

L3 (3.5yrs): She’s bad!
MrsA: She’s not bad. She’s a human created by God. And maybe she wasn’t feeling well or was sad about something and that’s why she was grumpy.
L2: She needs to think of things she is thankful for! That will help her not be grumpy.
L3: Yeah. Thankfuls help calm kids down. And teachers.

Parents: Do you know what that design means?

Summary between L1 (7.5yrs) & L2 (6yrs):
I think its reminding us that our world is so broken and the arrow is like our sin in our heart.

Yeah, and everyone who sees my hand will be reminded that we can’t see God but He takes care of our sin and our heart can be connected to His.

Yeah, it’s a heart on a heart like Jesus on a cross.

Mrs. A tries to muffle her laughter, gives up, and belly laughs endlessly.

L3: So I hit L1 on the cheek because I was angry with him. And he said I could hit him on the other cheek because that’s what the Bible says.

MrsA: So did you hit him on the other cheek?

L3: Not yet…

L3 (totally randomly): I wish for roller skates

Me: Well, this is an unexpected topic. What made you think about roller skates?

L3: My brain!

MrA to L1: You were born in 2012.

L1: So, a thousand years ago?

L2 (6yrs): If you have a son and he grows up and you throw a spear at him, he might not sit at your table.

MrsA: Whoops! I lost my balance!

L3 (3yrs): I lost my balance too. Now someone else has it.

MrA: There’s a hurricane heading for Florida

L3: There’s a Burger King heading for Florida?!?!

L3: It’s sunning at me!

L3: Mom, Dad is cooking your shoes.

L2 (while playing with his cars): Um, could you turn off the traffic?

L2 to L3 while playing at the campsite: He’s an arkeontologist! And look–here’s a dinosaur fossil!

L3: Mom, I need han-i-tizer.

L2 (while building restaurants on his dirt road at the campsite): This first restaurant is Lake McDonald Burger King Stand.
