Our little lion

In preparation for our family zoo trip tomorrow, I thought it was fitting to post some picture of our little lion, Theo. These were taken a couple months back by some friends. The costume, which is the coolest, is courtesy of my sister's family.

Thoughts to ponder...

After watching communion during church today, Jack told Charles that he thought the reason that kids were not allowed to take communion was because 'moms wouldn't want their kid to have a piece of bread and a biscuit (translation: cookies which are served after church!) because it might ruin their lunch.'

Nap Time

I am not feeling hugely creative today, but still thought the following entry would be amusing for the boys to read some day - although admittedly not that amusing for the Mom today.

Theo and Jack have both been in their respective rooms for one hour. Jack, age four years and 3/4, is fast asleep. Theo, just barely two, is jumping around in his baby bed and has now started yelling 'Jack Come Out'.

So much for nap time today.

Little Mr. Theology

Yesterday in our house...

JACK: Mom - Theo just hit me with the drumsticks.
ERIN: Theo, did you just hit Jack with the drumsticks.
THEO (long pause): Je - us love me?
ERIN: Yes, Theo Jesus loves you, but that has nothing to do with whether you just hit Jack with the drumsticks.
THEO (long pause): Je - us fo - giv me?

I didn't need to ask anymore. I now had my answer. I explained to Theo that Jesus would forgive him, but that he was still in need or correction.

Seriously, he was trying everything to either distract me or escape discipline - that is two years and two weeks for you!

Happy Birthday to a Special Someone
