On Facebook last month, a friend of ours posted a video, and she said, "Sometimes this is what teaching is like..." and we really enjoyed the video. Kid Snippets are a video series on YouTube when kids talk and adults act. I feel like that teacher when I teach my own kids too! "Do you get it now?" "Yes...?"
We watched several videos one evening and just laughed and laughed at them. We showed our kids more of them and they think they are hilarious! Their favorite video is when the older brother watches the younger ones, it's called "Babysitting" and its one of their sister series videos called "Kid History". It's so funny because the mom tells them three things to do/ not do and all of them happen... ha! The kids like the neighbor Robby too, and his songs and phrases. I like the part when the snackers are talking and one says, "Guess what?..." Ha! This longer video has become one that is quoted in our home often!
Another one of our favorite Kid History videos is the family party episode. The parents have a party and the kids are supposed to be upstairs playing video games and sleeping, but they sneak downstairs and get some snacks... ha ha. "Freeze!" "Why did you just get saltine crackers?" "I didn't, I also got Muppets toothpaste!" "It's not regular toothpaste, you pumpkin, it's Muppets toothpaste!" "Those guys are crazy, these are delicious!"
I hope you enjoy a laugh or at least a smile for the day! We like these videos because they are kid-friendly, appropriate entertainment for the whole family, and because the adults lip-sync so well what the kids narrate. The other videos are funny too, but these three are our favorites.
Whenever this song comes on the radio, we turn it up! It has become one of my new favorite songs! I love the rock sound, and the lyrics. I love the truths presented in this upbeat song. I don't have anything to fear, because He is always with me, His love never fails! I hope you enjoy this song too.
"Your Love Never Fails" by The Newsboys Nothing can separate Even if I ran away Your love never fails
I know I still make mistakes But You have new mercies for me everyday Cause Your love never fails
Chorus: You stay the same through the ages Your love never changes There may be pain in the night but joy comes in the morning
And when the oceans rage I don't have to be afraid Because I know that You love me Your love never fails
The wind is strong and the water's deep But I'm not alone here in these open seas Cause Your love never fails
The chasm is far too wide I never thought I'd reach the other side But Your love never fails
Chorus: You stay the same through the ages Your love never changes There may be pain in the night but joy comes in the morning
And when the oceans rage I don't have to be afraid Because I know that You love me Your love never fails
Bridge: You make all things work together for my good More lyrics: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/n/newsboys/ You can listen to this song on YouTube here.
Lamentations 3:22-23 Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed,for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.
Romans 8:28 And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.
1 Corinthians 13:8 Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away.
This recipe is one of our family favorites. I haven't posted it on my blog since my sister-in-law had it posted on hers. But it is such a family favorite at our house that I decided to post it here too. I make this casserole fairly often in the winter and the kids like it!
Wild Rice & Beef Casserole
(I got this recipe from Betty Crocker's Simple Winter Meals.)
Serves 4-6.
Ingredients:
1 lbs ground beef (can use turkey too)
1 can tomato soup
1/4 cup milk
1 boxes fast-cooking wild rice mix (I like Uncle Ben's)
1 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
First prepare the rice according the box's instructions, omit butter. If you have the quick cooking version, it should take 5-10 minutes. While rice is simmering, brown beef in a skillet. When the rice is finished and the meat is browned, mix that all together with the soup and milk. You will need an 8x8 or 9x9 "pan. Spray with cooking spray and ladle in the meat and rice mixture.
The casserole can go covered in the oven at 350 degrees for 30 minutes or until bubbling. Remove foil and top with cheese for the last 10 minutes, bake until cheese is melted. We like to serve this dinner with a salad and french bread. Delicious!
My sister-in-law has this posted on her blog too, and she shows how she doubles the recipe pretty easily. You can find her post here.
Let me know if you try it, I'd love to hear your review!
They had with them every wild animal according to its kind, all livestock according to their kinds, every creature that moves along the ground according to its kind and every bird according to its kind, everything with wings.
As it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet:“A voice of one calling in the wilderness, ‘Prepare the way for the Lord, make straight paths for him.
