Yesterday I got out the paint and let the boys be creative. Landon made...something, Ashton painted a butterfly and Quintin painted Adam and Eve. We have been reading through the bible starting at the very beginning. It's very interesting and the boys really enjoy it. We read about 2 chapters at breakfast and 2 chapters at lunch. The boys talk about it throughout the day so I know they are understanding a lot of it...especially Quintin! They are also learning new vocabulary such as "offspring" and what it means to "be fruitful and increase in number". Well, to them that means have a lot of babies! We're only on chapter 10 and we've heard "be fruitful and increase in number" so many times! I am trying to put the Lord into their everyday lives in every way I can. We have been listening to Seeds Christian Music often and I will hear the kids sing it as they play. They use verses strait from the bible and sing them in a really fun, upbeat way. Dan even commented that he should take the CD in the car to listen to on his commute to work! http://www.seedsmusic.com/ , if you want to check it out.
Here is the tower of babel that Q created while listening to our bible reading. I let the kids build with legos, better blocks or pattern blocks while we're reading. They seem to retain me when they are busy building...and I don't have to tell them to sit still as much.
