Satan in my Sandbox

Pin It Now!

I just love kids' logic. Last week we were studying wisdom during our morning Bible study, and of course, the parable of the wise man and foolish man came up. I explained that we needed to be like the wise man and build our house on The Rock, which is the Lord Jesus Christ. And Mullin thoughtfully added, "Yeah, and if we don't then we will be building it on Satan!"

 

A few seconds later Lincoln pipes up (with one of his classic Lincoln expressions), "Huuuuh, Satan's in my sandbox?" I tried my best to explain the real meaning of that parable to a 4 year old. Not sure if I succeeded. Wonder if he will play in it this summer?

Question of the Week #1

Pin It Now! I am the sort of person that loves to fill out surveys--anything that lets me share my opinion!! So, I thought I would start a little Q and A on my blog. I will love reading everyone's answers! I will start with an easy one...

Q: What is your favorite candy bar?

A: I don't think I ever have just one favorite. I love Almond Joys, Almond Snickers(not the ones with peanuts, although I will eat those, too), and 3 Muskateers!

Longbottom Leaf

Pin It Now! This morning during our homeschool history project, we were pretending to be Hippocrates making an herbal remedy. I gave each of the boys their very own pretend mortar and pestle, and while they were crushing their herbs (bay leaves) Mullin closed his eyes, took a big whiff, and said, "Ahhhhh, Longbottom Leaf!" I died laughing!








It is a good thing The Shire is a long way off from here!

Ahhh! The Smell of Bleach

Pin It Now! In today's modern world of chemical chaos we (or at least I did) tend to think of the word CLEAN when inhaling the noxious, overpowering scents of Bleach, Pine-Sol, Endust, Ajax, and the list goes on and on. Now, that I have been using more natural products, I can barely go down the cleaning isle in the store without holding my breath!



I have been experimenting with more natural cleaning alternatives for quite some time now, but still haven't mastered the art of getting rid of mold that way. Unfortunately, I still have to resort to the other stuff=(. When I don't have time to prepare my own concoctions from scratch, which has been alot lately, I use Seventh Generation. So far I like it. Go there now to print coupons!!
