Peyton’s Prayer.

We have been working, trying to get Peyton to pray.

We have tried whispering it in her ear, which only results in giggles.

We have tried telling her to repeat us, and say it out loud.

We have tried to teach her by example.

The other day, while she was playing, the girls were at school, she began to pray all by herself!

It was a sweet little prayer. 

Cuter than that, she was teaching her doll.

This morning, it being an “odd day”, perfect for Peyton, I asked her if she wanted to say the morning prayer.

“I do!!  I do!!” was her answer.

I told her to say it.  “You remember how it starts?”

“Dear Fa-der..  we thank thee day.  Pllll-ease blll-ess day.  Plll-ease blll-ess be nice.  Plll-ease blll-ess be safe.  Pllll-ease blll-ess food.  Name Jesus Christ..  AMEN!!!”

She did it.

And I couldn’t be happier.

Days 3 & 4..

I have been having some fun when I can..
Here’s yesterday’s.  We had to use a certain color pallet + one photo.

Today we were challenged to use the word “life” and use it in our title with it being in one sentence and that sentence would have to be our definition of what life is.  We could use whatever supplies we wanted, how many pictures we wanted, just minimal text.

I like how these challenges stretch me and make me think of ways to scrap that I normally wouldn’t.
