Flashlights of Doom & Finding KittyKats!

Over the past few years I've shared some of the funny and sweet things my grandsons have said . . . of course, as their grandma I think many things they said when they were little were funny and  sweet! So, today I thought it would be fun to share a couple of the funny and sweet things they said. When my middle grandson turned two he decided he had lots of things to say!

One day, he was walking around with a flashlight, shining it up on his face saying, "I have a flashlight of DOOOOOMMM!!!" I can assure you the thought this grandma had at seeing and hearing him had nothing to do with Doom!!! He even got his aunt laughing at that one!

did you know . . . Tree Kangaroos!

Living in the rainforests and on the mountains in Paupua New Guniea, Indonesia, and North Australia you will find very rare, unusual, and special macropods known as Tree Kangaroos. Look at Psalm 95:3, 4 – For the Lord is the great God, the great King above all gods. In his hand are the depths of the earth, and the mountain peaks belong to him.

Let’s learn about some of the ways Tree Kangaroos show us they are something special God designed to live upon some of His mountains.

crafting with grandma - Mother's Day Heart Gift

And yes, they are more likely than not to get ink on their skin!
