"Hey Mom, I Need to Show You Something..."

We are getting ready this morning to leave for the day and I hear words that as a mom can make you pause for a moment and say a little prayer. "Hey Mom, I need to show you something." I have to admit that there are times that those words have been followed by a not so pleasant revelation. You know what I mean. Kids will be kids and accidents will happen and dogs will eat the pizza right off of the kitchen counter. Anyways, I went with J3 in to the den to see whatever it was that he needed to show me and was amazed at what I found. He had taken these geometric shapes that I had ordered four years ago as part of a set of math manipulatives and had made the coolest design. In typical J3 fashion, he gave the most amazing explanation of what all the colors meant. I can't remember it all, but I do know that the yellow center represented God and the red represented Jesus. Not to take away from the deep spiritual truth of it all, but there was something mentioned about a wolf too. (I mean what is a good analogy with out some kind of wild animal!) He was excited that I wanted to take a picture of it and put it on the blog...so here it is. A soon came to see the design too and liked it so much that she and J3 worked together on the "We love nature" scene, which was also very creative and amazing!
