Our Pemberley: CALVIN FOR MAYOR!

Nov 9, 2007

CALVIN FOR MAYOR!

HE WON!
So, get this - Several of the third grade classes at Calvin's school had elections to run their own "KidNation" (based on a TV show . . . haven't seen the show). The students could elect a President, VP, Governor and Mayor. Each class has one Governor and two Mayors. Calvin ran for Mayor this week and WON!
We made little flyers to pass out and taped Tootsie pops to them (we did the assembling over dinner). We also made stickers with Calvin's photo on them. We even campaigned on his lunch bags. It was tons of fun. Anyway, he gets to name his "city" within the classroom.
Our little family needed this excitement. Enjoy the photos.

Mothers Who Know

Mothers Who Know Do Less
Mothers who know do less. They permit less of what will not bear good fruit eternally. They allow less media in their homes, less distraction, less activity that draws their children away from their home. Mothers who know are willing to live on less and consume less of the world's goods in order to spend more time with their children—more time eating together, more time working together, more time reading together, more time talking, laughing, singing, and exemplifying. These mothers choose carefully and do not try to choose it all. Their goal is to prepare a rising generation of children who will take the gospel of Jesus Christ into the entire world. Their goal is to prepare future fathers and mothers who will be builders of the Lord's kingdom for the next 50 years. That is influence; that is power.
