National Zoo Weekend


No one and the ark

We are shamelessly putting Lucy into every local VBS this summer in order to make some progress on the house we bought at the beginning of the month.  Last week she was with the Baptists this week she's with the Lutherans, and the week after the 4th she'll be with the Methodists. 

Although, I'm still questioning how much she is learning.  Yesterday she learned about Noah and the Ark.  She came home singing, "Who built the ark?  No one!  No one!  Who built the ark?  Brother No One built the ark!"

The gospel according to Lucy

Lucy went to her first day at Vacation Bible School today.  When she came home she proceeded to tell me she learned a bunch of bible verses.  They consisted of the following: "Here is a bottle, here is a baby.  Suck, suck, suck."  And, "Get away from ticks!  They suck your blood!"
Me: "Lucy, I don't think those are Bible verses."
Lucy: "Well, they're MY Bible verses."

Door to door service

Lucy: "Look!  We got a package today!"
Me:  "Yeah!  It's a really big package.  I wonder what it is?"
Lucy:  "Maybe it's God.  He's really big."
If you could only order God in the mail ...

Quite an imagination

During a trip to Michael's today ...
Lucy: "Oh look mom!  Tiaras!  I'm going to buy one for Anna so we can both have one when we play princesses."
Me: "Who's Anna?"
Lucy: "My sister in your belly!"
The woman next to me congratulated me on my pregnancy.  Only one problem, I'M NOT PREGNANT.  This "I want a sibling" thing is becoming a problem.

God's got nothing to do with time out

Lucy wrote a letter to God today.  Here's the opening sentence, "Kristin is nice, but never listens to me.  Caleb is also nice, but goes away to work a lot."  Why do I feel like she's tattle taleing on us?
