Twins and Talking about Dinosaurs in Class

When my twins go home from school today, they always tell me how their day went. I love hearing what happened in school today and what they learned. Today when they got home we were talking about the new "story" they are reading titled "Why Did The Dinosaurs Disappear?" Well, during class when they were discussing and reading about this story, my precious and well equipped twins, told their table partners dinosaurs did not die from a volcano and meteorite. Instead they told their table partners they died for the flood.

Oh Mommy was so proud of them. It is so good to see they are listening to me when I read to them, or they read to me from these books I purchased for them:
 

Anyway, while my  twins were in class learning about Why Did the Dinosaurs Disappear, they told their friends Dinosaurs, AKA, Leviathan and Behemoth (names from the Bible), died from the flood. I love it and I am doing all I can to instill in them the truth from the Word of God (Absolute Authority) about how and why the Dinosaurs (Leviathan and Behemoth) died.

This CD is fun and talks about God and His Word being the Absolute Authority. My twins did this VBS either last year or the year before. I loved it and so did they. The music is awesome!


I think my twins even told their teach Dinosaurs died on the flood.

I hugged and kissed my twins and told them how proud I was of them and to never be ashamed to tell the truth about the Dinosaurs. They told me a lot of their classmates do not even go to church and if they do, they do not know about how the Dinosaurs really died.

Twins Without Television: Week 2, Day 1

So today is day one of the second week without television. This is very nice. Not only is the house calmer, unnecessary noise from the television that is, but I am expecting (praying) for all our attitudes to change. The television seems to create an uneasiness in the home. It is all that background noise I think and of course messages in all the shows that cause stress in the home.

Now, look this is not something to just go "cold turkey" with either. This will take time. Right now, I am allowing my girls to watch television when they get home from school on Friday-Sunday evening. This is what I did last weekend on their 1st week without television.

I am seeing that television is not only a distraction, but a total hindrance towards learning. It is as if all my girls had on their minds was what show they were going to watch and at what time. Look, I have not watched television since June and it is wonderful. Well, I listen to the radio, music and talk shows, but at least I am not wasting time sitting in from on a television learning nothing and being mesmerized by a 30 or 1 hour show.

Oh it would really be nice if my girls would just stop watching television altogether. This is day one of week two. I think as long as I do not bring up the fact they are not watching television, they will not think about it.
