If you’ve been reading Raising Olives for long you’ve probably gotten that we try to be purposeful in why we do, what we do. We try to hold to God’s Word as our standard for everything and we try to communicate these values to our children.
Twelve year old Kaitlin to eight year old Carter. “The reason that Mom and Dad are trying to teach you good table manners is so that when you get to heaven you won’t be embarrassed to feast with the Lamb.”
Sigh, I think we still have a ways to go in communicating our vision and in working on table manners.

I love it. I’m so looking forward to raising my children to scold each other to the glory of God as well…your kiddos are wonderful. Thanks for sharing your children’s conversations. It’s clear and evident that they love and enjoy both God and each other.

Oh, just too funny. Made me laugh. Don’t they think up the cutest things! I wish I was better about writing them down.
Just last week my 3yo (in response to me sweetly reminding her, for the nine-hundredth time, to *not* constantly pick her nose) informed me that it is not her fault, and that in fact it was *God himself* who put the boogers in her nose.
What’s a mom to say to that?

She has a point.
I also wish I wrote more of them down. I want to remember everything.
