One of my greatest goals right now is to give my boys a happy childhood. I want them to love passionaltely, laugh constantly, and live each day for the glory of God. I want them to delight in each simple thing he has given us.
Today we were outside, the little ones running around, Brendan working on his nature journal. Brendan had chosen to write about the roots of the tree that shades our play area. He studied them closely, feeling the rough bark and cool moss. The little ones delighted in tiny baby crickets that hopped onto the sidewalk when we walked through the grass. They tried so hard to catch them & the poor lone cricket that was finally caught found his way to Nathan's digestive system :-S
We collected the leaves that had recently started to fall, trying to find & compare as many colors as possible. Some leaves were simply breathtaking- they must have been in their color changing process because they looked almost like tie dyed. Our God is an amazing artist!
At naptime Brendan and I were inspired by our leaf collection to make beautiful pictures of trees and attach our leaf collection to the paper.
there was so much beauty in our day.
