Oatmeal + God = Life 101

Every morning, while we sit down for breakfast, we do a little family scripture study. Two reasons: One, I like the idea of sending Logan out the door with a spiritual message in her mind, and two, (probably the most important) I find that when they are eating they are actually quiet for a small window of time. It works for us.

Anyway, I have been surprised at the discussions this time of study has led us into. You just never know what we are going to cover. This morning we discovered that Griffin, age 5, "already [has] a girlfriend," and although she is a high school student, he is sure she will wait for him to "get big."

We also found out that Logan has the correct order of life all figured out. When Mr. Wicke started saying, "That's why it's so important that we do things in the right order. For example, Heavenly Father wants us first to get married, and then have kids--" Logan interrupted.

"I already know all that." She cleared her throat and took on her most adult-like persona. "First, you kiss. Then you get married. Then you can kiss again. Next you buy a house. Then you have kids, and then you buy a bigger house."

Yup. She's got it down, alright. And I'm pretty sure that if you study the the parables of Jesus closely enough, you too will find such wisdom. He's just forever talking about kissing and bigger houses. Good luck.


This is us buying the "bigger house." As you can see, we have already kissed, married, kissed again, and had the kids. Now what?

That is just too cute. I would agree, they have Life down so far;)

So cute!

Logan has life pretty well summarized in a very G-rated version. She is such a sweet girl.

And that little Griff is already after the older women. Hmmmm... he is a charmer.
