Paul, when noticing peppers on the pepper plants:  “They’re hanging their peppers!”  (Meaning like we hang decorations on a Christmas tree.)

**************************************

Paul is still learning where things come from.  He has been playing with some stuffed sheep recently, and he announced to us, “Sheep give us apples.”

We informed him that sheep give us wool to make clothes with.

Whenever Paul tells me he doesn’t like a certain food, I tell him he has to eat it anyway.  He’ll say, “But I don’t like it.”  Then, I’ll tell him, “You have to eat it anyway.  It will build your character.”

Tonight, we had that little exchange over the half of blueberry muffin on is plate (no, I have no idea why he doesn’t like blueberry muffins, but he never eats them very well).

Then, Paul volunteered, “My chicken (which he does like) will build my character.  I’ll eat my chicken.  But the muffin will knock it down.”

Sorry, my son, it’s eating the foods you don’t prefer that build your character!

One day, Hannah went around asking Andrew and I, “Where are my sins?”

The first time she asked me, pretty soon in the morning, I said, “Well, I think they’re in your heart.”

Then Hannah replied, “No, they’re in my leg.”

I did follow with a brief information session about needing to ask Jesus to take away our sins.

Today we went to Hillandale Park.  The only other children there were a brother and sister, Noah (3 yrs.) and Erin (4 yrs.).  We had never met them before.  While they were playing, Paul started calling out, “Moses!  Moses!”

I gently reminded him that the little boy’s name was Noah.

These pictures were taken on our outing to the park today.  The very last one is at Wildwood Park where we were on our way to feed the ducks (with Grandma), but they were on the far bank of the river so we didn’t get to feed them.  We found some fish to feed some old bread to instead.
