Happy Birthday my son, and Happy Halloween everyone!

My sweet little Ikes' is starting to understand that he can pray for people and prayer will impact them. This week he prayed for friend's of his David and Liam. He prayed for their safety. I was one proud mama!!
It was my boy's 5th birthday this past week. I am amazed the little journey he has bless us with already. I never thought I could love my boys as much as I do. They inspire me to be real, to count my blessing, to watch for life's little moments, to stop and smell the flowers, to see what is really important here in this life. I love them dearly and they each have a special piece of my hear that only each of them could fill. I am so proud of my boys and they are the apples of my eyes.

The super hero dudes!

Our wiggly caterpillars, with goggly eyes.








I explained to Ikes the nature exchange at the wild life park, he was instantly excited to earn points and get rocks for prizes :)
Isaac picked zebra's to learn about for the exchange so we are busy learning about zebras' and their black with white strips.

Water beads always fun. 

We talked about what makes us sick, and how we are able to protect ourselves from germs. We talked about what we feel like when we are sick and what makes us feel better when sick. I was surprised how much he already knew of this topic. He knew where germs lived, what kills them, what our white blood cells do in our body to (eat) the bacteria. My science dude!

We took turns doing puppet shows, I have little finger puppets of different animals, the stories children come up with are so entertaining. 

We talked about guide dogs as we had a book from the library on seeing eye dogs, topics like this is so great for him to be exposed to to start to develop empathy for others.

I am really excited for this next week, I want to cover some Remembrance day as well as we have a trip to the local fire hall planned. 

There is also something special happening, I feel God upon my heart to learn more about empathy in the next few months. I had attended a conference this past weekend where God showed up and moved me with his power once again. Isaac and I have been brainstorming and figuring out what we an do for others.

There will be something great that will happen, not because it's my own thoughts or works, but God's.
