jacobism...

bless his little heart!... the other day i was driving in to work with the kiddos with me and from the back seat jacob says... "mom, i wish we could go to church everyday.  we should worship the Lord with gladness..."  this was a verse he had memorized for awana, and he has been recalling his verses lately when he's scared and glad and in different situations, so i was happy that he thought of this one... trying not to crush his worshipful spirit i said, "well buddy, that would be great, but we have to go to work, so that we can eat, and have a house and buy things... how would we pay our bills?  we have to go to work."  he thought for a second and then he said, "well, all the people that don't love Jesus and don't go to church can pay our bills!"  i love that kid!  i'm thinking there's a new welfare! ;) 

a great wekend!

we've been so busy!!  but this past weekend we had a great, fun, weekend.  the kids and i went to the park and then we swung through mcdonald's for apple juice and tea and enjoyed those at another park, the weather was beautiful, so the kids played in the sprinklers, i planted more flowers, and then we went to the mall for the united methodist church's spring activity day.  and all of that was on saturday... then there was sunday... sunday school, church, lunch outside on the picnic table, cleaning the house (not so fun, but much needed), and then we made homemade cabbage burgers for dinner... YUM!!!  it was busy, but fun... and here's some pictures...
