Life Changes

Life Changes
So its been a while since I have written anything, because these days it just doesnt seem to have enough hours in the day.  We have since added a new addition to our family not like there was ever a quite moment with Cainen but now that little diva has shown up now there really isnt!!! Since July 2011 we have had a new baby and I have changed jobs through a bank buy out.  But both have been great and I can say, God is good and knows our every need.

This Little Light of Mine

So on March 28,2011 I picked Cainen up from school and he was singing "This Little Light of Mine" from music class, he said to me "Who do we not want to blow it out?"  I said "Satan or the devil".  He began to ask who the devil was and I explain about him being the "bad" guy and that he liked sin.  He asked if God like him and I said no, he said well is God going to beat him up?  I told him that when Jesus comes back to take us home to Heaven, that is when he would defeat or beat up Satan.  He said who has bigger muscles, mom??? I said God and just smiled because in Superheros there is always someone that has bigger muscles!!! That was about the end of that conversation.

Well the next night he came in the kitchen when I was cooking supper and said "What's that guy's name again?"  I said Satan/Devil.  He asked what did the devil do for God not to like him so I explain that he was one of God's angels and he was jealous of God and that he wanted all the power so God kicked him out of Heaven.  Cainen asked then where does he live now??  Hmmm.....  I said Hades, then he asked what it was like in Hades, so I told him in the best 4 year old terms that it was hot and everything burns, and that it is a very sad place forever, not like Heaven and that is why we believe and trust in God.  Cainen said " Well God burns too, he's the burning bush!!!!!"  I was shocked!!!! He put the two together! but I further explained that God is not a burning bush that God just chose to speak to Moses through the burning bush.  I thought this conversation would never end and afterwards I told Cliff we better learn the Bible front to back before he beats us in knowing everything!!!!!!

But I love the fact that my child knows the Lord and is interested in learning more about HIM!!!

The Dark Knight

Saturday about 6:00pm we checked the mailbox and Cainen was so excited to see his Dark Knight costume had come in, immediately we had to put it on and get some "bad" guys.  Bed time came and I had to make a deal with him that if he took his costume off he could wear his Batman PJ's to bed.  Sunday morning the first thing he wanted was to put back on his costume, after several no's... he sat, eating breakfast in his batman PJ's, cape and mask!  Needless to say after a little bit of a struggle I got him into his Sunday clothes but as you have already guessed, he was back in the costume as soon as we walked back in from church!  He went to a friend's house down the street to play for a couple of hours and yes he showed up to their house and knocked on the door as the Dark Knight!  I think I finally got him out of the costume about 6:00-7:00pm.  Boys and their superheroes!!!!!

Imagination!

I love how Cainen is always using his imagination!  I came into my closet and asked what he was doing and said he was baking a birthday cake  (with all of my make-up) The baby powder being the milk as he shook it and my face lotion being the honey!  As you can see there is a "special" pile to the left.  He says that all that stuff has peanut in it and it's in the peanut oven!  I love how their little minds work!

Having a Little FUN!!!

I planned a whole weekend of family fun for memorial day.  I think all I did was cook!!!!!  It was great having my family over at our new house for the first time just to eat and play (but I think we mostly just ate!!!)  I am so glad our children are growing up calling each other cousins but acting like brothers and sisters.  My sister and I always said we would do whatever it took to have a close family and I think so far it's working!!!

Cainen Always Has a Way of Viewing Things!

Last night Cainen asked if we could read his Bible which is really a daily devotion for kids.  So we laid in his bed and today's lesson was titled " He fights for me. Exodus 14"  It goes on to say that if we obey God he will fight for us.  So Cainen looks at me and says " Gods going to fight us?"  I said "No, if we obey God he will stand up for us"  Cainen proceeds to say as serious as he could be "So.. if we don't obey God he will sit down?"  I had to keep my composer and not laugh in his face and say "No baby, if we obey God then he will protect us"  Kids...I love how their minds work.  Cliff and I had a great laugh over that one!
