I appreciate your encouragement and suggestions on my post about dealing with my Strong Willed Child. The last few days have been better, and last night he threatened to not eat dinner (because there were - *GASP*- green beans mixed into his chicken and rice!) but after Luke told him "this is dinner" and he'd eat if for breakfast if he didn't taste it, he ATE HIS FOOD. Granted, he picked around every single green bean in his bowl, but whatever. I'm totally counting that as a victory because OHMYWORD THE GREEN BEANS WERE TOUCHING, TOUCHING THE CHICKEN AND RICE yet he still ate them. (Score one for the parents!)
Of course all this was after he glared at me like I was insane for mixing our entire meal into one dish. The nerve of some women, huh? What kind of a person mixes foods together? Except for those pesky italians (lasagna) and mexicans (quesadillias) and chinese (um, stirfry) and BAPTISTS - with their casseroles!? Mercy, if eating green beans doesn't kill him, being a baptist will. At least when there's a potluck supper on Sunday nights. ;)
Anyway, I thought I'd do a little Question and Answer post. I've gotten several comments and questions about our family and upcoming ministry lately (some through comments, some via email and some on facebo0k) and so I thought I'd just throw it out there and see if any of YOU have questions.
Pretty much everything is game for questioning. If I think it's too personal or NUNYA, then I'll just skip it. Okay?
So here it is, ask whatever you want about our family, our beliefs, our ministry, our lifestyle, our kids, our home, our homeschooling, my blog, my hair, why I'm incredibly hilarious, why I hate anything that happens before 8am in the morning. ANYTHING!! Seriously.
Just put your question in the comments section or email it to me at beaverbunch (at) gmail (dot) com. If you'd like your question to be anonymous, just tell me so in the email.
I'll give you the whole weekend to post your questions and I'll try to answer them early next week.
I'll be busy all weekend because we are hosting/leading our FOURTH d*weekend this weekend. I am so FLIPPIN' excited to spend a weekend discipling teenage girls and worshipping with some of my closest friends! You can click here and here read about our previous d*weekends.
Happy Friday y'all!
Just thought I'd throw it out there that I can't stand having my different foods touch. Everything is separated on my plate, and I have been known not to eat something if it got sauce on it from another item. They really need to make those child divided plates for adults. LOL
ReplyDeleteWhen my nephew was a kid, he would absolutely melt down if his food touched. Once, I touched his Christmas dinner roll to his mashed potatoes. His mother grabbed the plate and threw it away, gave me a 15 minute lecture about her poor baby being traumatized, and I just shook my head and got more yams.
ReplyDeleteGlad you aren't feeding into this. GOOD JOB!
From Noah: Where do babies come from?
ReplyDeleteHaha.
I'm with Noah :)
ReplyDeleteNo, for real though, what will happen to your home there and your cars and such- do you sell everything you can't take with you or does a lot go into storage while you rent your home out?
How long of a commitment are you and Luke making to serve in Africa?
Will you homeschool your kiddos there? What will your role be there other than to take care of your children and home?
What will Luke's role look like?
Will you have medical insurance or is it a pay as you need kinda thing? Is there a good medical facility nearby? (thinking of my own kiddos with medical concerns)
Will you go through language training before you go or is it an on the job learn as you go sorta thing?
What are you most nervous about in regards to leaving the country and continent?
What are you most excited about?
Do you have pets? Will they go or stay?
I think I just made up for anyone who doesn't ask questions! :)
Love,
Holly
