Is some of this actually sinking in?

We've having a bible verse of the week, and this was our verse last week. It went with the book Katy No Pocket, which I highly recommend. We didn't talk too much about it, but we talked about being kind and what it means to be generous once or twice.
So yesterday I went to the Starbucks drive thru (I know!) and got an iced chai and I got M an oatmeal raisin cookie. She kept giving bites of her cookie to her brother. I told her that was a very kind thing to do. After a while she said, "Was I being generous, Mommy?" YES! She shared her music toys with him today and said she wanted to be generous. What a good girl!

This is our verse for this week. We are reading The Snowy Day and the pictures are a mixture of watercolor and collage. Here's our spring collage with our bible verse:

And speaking of watercolors.........
She is LOVING them. We did it yesterday and she begged to do it again today. She painted for at least an hour. We do all this stuff during John Paul's morning nap. So....
I had to go get him so I left her alone with her paints for 30 seconds.... and THIS is what I come down to.

I love it! Painting around here usually deteriorates into tears rather quickly because the paper has gotten to wet and rips.

Neither of our girls has ever been a morning napper. Oh that would be nice....
