Just when you think they arn't listening....

Jael and Tekla were playing legos and I overheard what they were making. I tried to get the whole story but as soon as they realized I was listening, their creativity seemed to freeze. Also, Saoirse wanted to help in the filming so it was a bit shaky, but here it is none the less.



And some supporting pictures including Saoirse's contribution.


Edited to clarify: I had been working on the computer, not paying much attention to what the girls were saying. During their chatter my ears perked at the word "Tabernacle". Then I started really listening. Tekla had built a tabernacle and was explaining where you go in and "this is where you stand". Then Jael was telling her about the Moses she had made. She gave a brief explanation of him as a baby, then was telling about him leading the Israelites. She talked about the burning bush, God leading them in a pillar of fire, and God coming down on the mountain to talk to Moses. The even talked some about what "mana" must have tasted like. I was very impressed. Jael had told me this was her favorite story in the past, but I hadn't realized how much she had already picked up.

Today I was thinking about my own memory of Bible stories. Growing up, it seemed that I remembered more Bible Stories than most kids my age. Now, I see my girls playing out those stories and I think, they have heard so many stories so many times they may actually give me a challenge playing some of the Bible trivia games we have sitting the closet. We hadn't pulled them out because they weren't ready and they weren't too fun for just Mommy and Daddy to play alone. Perhaps it is time to give them a go.
