Sienna at St. Peter\u2019s circa 2008<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Last night, like the night before, was full of soup and tea with honey and lemon and Dancing with the Stars<\/i>. (Sidenote: I used to be extremely derisive of people who watched this show. I have no idea why, though. It. Is. Awesome.)<\/p>\n

But first, I put the kids to bed. Usually we\u2019ll do the bedtime story, prayers, and I\u2019ll tuck the girls in bed with a couple songs and a million kisses, but last night I was still pretty hoarse and my chest and throat were sore, so I laid in bed with the girls and let them sing to me.<\/p>\n

Charlotte sang Jesus Loves Me and Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. Sienna, however, made up her own song about \u201chow much God loves us.\u201d It went something like this.<\/p>\n

The Lord is God and He loves us so much. He loves us so much that He doesn\u2019t want to kill us\u2026The Lord is our God and He loves us so much, He loves us so much that He won\u2019t destroy us.<\/i>

<\/i>
I\u2019m telling you, this is what happens when you read the Old Testament to your children.<\/p>\n

I was pretty tired myself so I snuggled up with them after they were finished sleeping for a while. After a few minutes, Sienna began quietly whispering the story of Joan of Arc in my ear. (Her knowledge of Joan of Arc has been greatly supplemented by the History Teachers.)<\/p>\n

This is how that<\/i> story went.<\/p>\n

Joan was a peasant girl who lived in France a long time ago. God called her to lead her people into battle when their future was dark. She had armor and a sword and she got shot with an arrow but still kept battling. Then she let the bad people take her and they burned her to ham.\u00a0<\/i>

<\/i>
I\u2019ll admit that I burst out laughing at that. After a few minutes of painful coughing following my ill-advised laughing fit, I managed to explain that people get burned to ashes, and only pigs are ham.<\/p>\n

And yet, I still really like her version of the story.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
