I’ve been reading Honey for a Child’s Heart and making a booklist for the year. The highlight of our week was playing in a creek, which was as awesome and muddy as it sounds.
The picture of kids praying around toilet is both touching and hilarious at the same time. 🙂
We also made the leap to bunk beds this week! For now our 3 oldest kids share a room because we just don’t have the space for anything else now. It can be a challenge, but it works.
That’s such a great book. I might have to pick it up again!
