Liesel's honesty

After a short experiment withholding sugar from our children last week (no positive results noticed) the kids enrolled in Vacation Bible School. So last night Liesel was crying in her bed and I went to ask her what happened. She said she was sad that all the other kids got to eat snacks but she didn’t. I asked why didn’t she get a snack. “Remember? Daddy said we can’t have sugar?” Come to find out, she had turned down snacks offered to her, telling everyone she is not allowed to eat sugar. So dad went and got her a popsicle to reward her honesty.

Jesus in the sky

Looking out the back seat window, Jude commented that he could see Jesus up in the clouds, and that Jesus was waving to him. When I asked him what he was saying, Jude said, He said, “Jude, can I come live in your house with you?

 

Liesel showing honor

Two weeks ago I put a new rule in place to limit the amount of sugar intake for all the kids. Well, only 1 kid took me seriously. Liesel.

 

On our way home after the second night of VBS, Liesel was crying and we couldn’t figure out why. After mom investigated and asked all of the right questions she found that she didn’t get a special cookie at church. Mom asked, “Why?”. Liesel replied, “Mom, don’t you remember? Dad said we can’t have any more sugar”

 

She had been faithfully denying sugar for 2 days in the midst of a sugar invested environment. She made me proud. I ended up giving her a popsicle stick to show her how much I appreciated her faithfulness.

Wal-Mart 2

It was another hecktic day and time to go to the store and get some groceries. Once again, Jude proves to be the guy cracking all the good ones.

This time, at the checkout was a rather large lady that had large fore-arms. One glance at the lady, and Jude says real loud, "Wow mom, that lady has big muscles, right?"

Wal-Mart 1

We were at Wal-Mart. Our 3 year old had just had a good talking to about not commenting on people's weight. Well, wouldn't you know it, the only check-out line available has a rather large person working the cash register.

So, Jude leans over to mom and says in a voice loud enough for all around to hear, "She's big, right?"
