Moments #10
Saying the Lords Prayer with my girls at bedtime. Annie started off joining in but in a very angry voice and stopped half way through.
When we were finished Annie said it was not fair that I said the Lords Prayer with Heidi and not just Annie, then she threw herself face down into her pillow.
I explained to Annie that the Lords Prayer was something people said all together like at Church where everyone says it at the same time.
Annie then asked why some of her cousins did not say the Lords Prayer. I was trying to explain to Annie that not everyone believes in Jesus so not everyone prays.
Midway through Annie said that her cousins believed in Jesus but they didn’t pray. I said that was very sad as praying is how you talk to Jesus and if they can’t pray then they can’t talk to Jesus.
Annie then said maybe they didn’t know how to pray and maybe she could teach them. I was telling her that was something she could ask them about when Annie interrupted to say that maybe we could take her cousins to Church as well so they could learn how to pray there.
Interestingly the last Church service we went to the sermon was on Mission and Outreach, even though Annie didn’t seem to be listening I think she was.

Moments # 12
We had to bring the car seats inside today as hubby was taking the car to work and BIL D was taking the girls and I (along with his two boys) to a birthday party. The girls lay their car seats on the floor, propped the heads up on boxes of Pepsi Max cans and made a ‘hospital’ in the corridor. Annie was the doctor and Heidi was the patient.

Geeky Parenting Moment.
We have a count down calendar for Annie to cross off the days before school starts. Today was the 11th and there is 22 days left until school starts.

Birthday Party
We went to a birthday party today at the Altona Miniature Railway – it was amazing, everyone had fun, such a great idea, I might have to steal it for one of the girls birthday parties.
Some pictures

Heidi – she had her hands over her ears most of the time because of the noisy train whistle and the tunnel of DOOM (second pic is entrance to tunnel of DOOM) but that didn’t stop her going on the train 9 times in 2 hours:

Stonewall beside the track which I thought was pretty awesome, looks like it has been put together with no mortar.

Annie takes a lot in. That augers well for school. She makes quite the cute little doctor.

Ooops, forgot to add. That’s some brave move on Heidi’s behalf going through the tunnel of DOOM 9 times. Quite an achievement.

Anja – agreed. I was so unspeakably proud of Heidi.

It is amazing what they are taking in when you don’t actually realise.

What a great idea for a party !!! Wish I could be there with you. It seems so sunny and warm while here it’s sooooooooooo cold
Emma always loved to play with her car seat! I remember that for one easter in Texas, she prefered playing with a car seat rather than chasing the eggs

Heidi is determined to have tackled that tunnel! Good for her!
Annie’s a bright spark isn’t she?

That looks like a fab place for the kids and good on Heidi!
Good to see the girls are playing hospitals with accuracy and having patients on beds in corridores/hallways just like the real ones do
