Countryside Drive
Atticus and I went riding for about an hour and a half after church this morning, all across Pittsylvania County, Virginia. Up Mount Cross Road, around and across to Whitmell School Road, and further onto Franklin Turnpike. Up and down and east on Dry Fork Road all around and onto 29. And finally, down Snakepath Road to Spring Garden Road, back to 29, and home.
Of all the beautiful sights, I’d have to say my favorite was the little angel above, but it was a hard choice!
Atticus Sings the Gloria :)
This is one of the songs we sing in church every week, except during Lent and Advent, the “Gloria.”
Four-year-old Attie’s been singing it for a while now, but it wasn’t until about the first week in March that he could get through the whole thing without any prompting. Since way before then, we’ve been hearing it at least 5-10 times a day, easy. When he’s building something or playing with his cars or superheroes, you can usually find him singing it. <3
Glory to God in the highest
and peace to his people on earth.
Lord God, heavenly King,
Almighty God and Father,
we worship you, we give you thanks,
we praise you for your glory.
Lord Jesus Christ, only Son of the Father,
Lord God, Lamb of God,
you take away the sin of the world:
have mercy on us;
You are seated at the right hand of the Father:
receive our prayer.
For you alone are the Holy One,
you alone are the Lord,
you alone are the Most High,
Jesus Christ,
with the Holy Spirit,
in the glory of God the Father. Amen.
A Favorite Shot :)
I love the spontaneity of this one. I wish I could remember what he was saying.
Reader Rabbit
Reader Rabbit = Fun + Learning
I’ve watched my kids play these cute computer games for about 15 years or so. They love them because they’re fun, and I love them because they’re safe and educational!
Creepy Crawly
This one-eyed, eight-legged, winged Trio creature is all mine, thanks to Atticus and his store. All you have to do is pick something out and hand him some imaginary money…voila! Imagination…It’s a wonderful thing!
75/365: How To Make Mom Feel Less Guilty for Giving You Gummy Bears
Make it educational!
Before he ate the sticky, sugary, gooey, messy little things, Atticus lined them all up according to color; then, he counted all the colors and compared them.
Good boy!
71/365: Rango
If we could have bought Rango on the way out of the theater, we probably would’ve. It was that good.
And since our movie outing was Lucas’ extra-special treat for having 10 school days with no bad marks AND Atticus’ first movie ever, it’s a very good thing it was so good. 🙂
Two Cute Quotes
“I wish I was really short and had really long feet, so I could run real fast.”
-Lucas
“Is Heaven in the sky? Yeah, ’cause it’s not down here.”
