Oct. 30, 2008 - Mealtime Fun
We were eating breakfast the other day when H looks and me and says, “I have ham in my body.” ??? She continues…”no really, N said that I have meat in my body.” Why ham is all I can wonder.
Speaking of body, around the same breakfast time, S informs me that “God lives in my belly.” She told me again tonight that God lives in my body. Talk about a new spin on Jesus living in your heart.
During dinner last night Q asked for another pancake. I could have leaned over and handed it to him except for the very large beach ball in my lap, so I flipped it to him,,,across his brother. It hit the edge of the table and fell to the floor. All he said was “Well,,,that didn’t work.”
Finally, (though not actually mealtime for us), we were finishing up our woods study in science and were reading about owls. I told the kids how owls swallow their prey whole when N says to me “Man, that must not have ANY flavor. I swallowed A LOT of raisins yesterday and they didn’t have any flavor.” I wonder if the mice know they are dying in vain?
To add to this mealtime enjoyment, here are some pictures of the kids dissecting owl pellets.
Q unwrapping his pellet.
N finding skulls of mice.
S wanted a paper to do the project, but once she saw what was going on she said "That's gross to me." Hey, at least she used her pronoun correctly!
I didn't have any stills of H's work, but I added the video in the sidebar. I accidentally cut it off too early as right after it stops she said "This is Scientist Harper signing off, have a good day."
It was a good day.
