Troye was home sick today so I took the boys to church. After lunch I took them swimming so daddy could rest. Before bed we enjoyed a fun learning activity. Each of the boys had a tube of tooth paste. We had a contest to see who could get all the toothpaste out of the tube the fastest! It was funny! But then the real challenge was presented.... who could put all of the toothpaste back into the tube! Ha! Cam tried a few times and quickly gave up but Colt was very determined to get it back in the tube! He even had the idea to blow up the tube so he could get more toothpaste in it! Well of course he couldn't do it but it was fun watching! Afterwards we discussed the verse Ephesians 4:29.
Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but
only what is helpful for building others up according to
their needs, that it may benefit those who listen. Ephesian 4:29
We then discussed that our words are like the toothpaste, once they leave our mouths they cannot be put back. Rather than saying mean and rude words to or about others we should say things that help them. We had fun with the toothpaste and hopefully it made a little impression on them.

Great fun lesson! I know the boys had fun with that and I am sure it made the point too. You are a great teacher! Sorry Troye was sick and hope he is better soon.
