Crazy Hair, Snow and Maggie's Funny Thoughts...
I just had to take this picture of Madeline's hair after her bath today...see, she does have hair!!
This is our house after just two days of snow. Let me remind you, we had no snow on the ground (pretty much) before this "Winter Storm Danielle" hit. I think they're saying we got anywhere from 10-12 inches, and it is still snowing!! You know it's bad when they cancel church and school around here!
And here is some more of "Maggie's Funny Thoughts" for today:
Yesterday, in our family devotions we were talking about how it is wrong to take the Lord's name in vain. (We have been going through this book called "Right Choices", and that was the topic for yesterday.) We were also talking about how we don't want the girls to say "Gosh" either, and it came up that on one of the girls' favorite cartoons (Mickey Mouse Clubhouse), Mickey Mouse says "Gosh" sometimes. Well, Rob told the girls that maybe we shouldn't watch that cartoon anymore if they were saying words that we didn't think were right. Maggie was pretty disturbed that she might not be able to watch this show, and so the conversation continued as Rob was tucking her in bed that night.
Rob said, "Maggie, let's pray and ask Jesus to help us make a right choice about this."
Maggie said, "Why does Mickey say that if it is wrong?"
Rob said, "Maybe Mickey isn't saved." (He couldn't think of what else to say.)
Maggie thought about this for a minute, and said, "Well, maybe Minnie is saved, and she can tell Mickey about Jesus. Let's talk to Minnie and Mickey about this when we go to Disney World."
That seemed to satisfy her for the time being, and she went peacefully to sleep.

    That made me chuckle...out of the mouth of babes, huh? Let me know how that chat goes with Minnie and Mickey. :)

    We have a ton of snow here too...and more coming in tomorrow...my husband is really hoping for a snow day this time! We had church on Sunday, but I don't think we got as much snow as they originally thought (I think it was 10 inches total). Anyway, Happy Tuesday!

    I LOVE the thoughts that come from a three-year old. The way they reason through and process things sometimes just amazes me!

    That is so funny!! I laughed out loud imagining Maggie talking to Mickey & Minnie about their spiritual lives. :) She was telling me the other day when she was over here about wanting to go to Disney World -- now she has even more motivation for going! :)

    At least she has a vision for the unsaved!! That is so funny. You have to write all these things down. You're family must be laughing all the time!
