When I got up, I was, like usual, the "Early Bird". I did my usual talking with mom for a while, then took Daisy, our dog, to wake up Ryan and Megan. We expected our daily cereal or pancakes. Instead, we saw a big paper towel spread across the counter where us kids eat. Ryan immediately said, "What the heck is going on?"
Megan did not like this. I saw the microwave spinning and spinning, and then the beeps that the microwave does when it's done. Mom took out a bag of popcorn. Megan immediately asked if that was our breakfast. Mom nodded. Megan complained the whole time.
"It's your manna," mom said, "and you're complaining, just like the Israelites did during the Exodus."
Duh. I had forgotten. We were studying the book of Exodus for Bible.
We couldn't eat anything else until lunch. When the Yuns, our homeschool friends, came over, we did some tabernacle activities with them. Mom had set up a "Prayer Tent" in the living room. We went youngest to oldest in the Prayer Tent. We also made little model Tabernacles from old shoeboxes and little paper foldings.
Sometimes, having a different school day can make even school really fun.
It sounds like you have a very cool teacher! What a fun day! I am glad you wrote about it!
ReplyDeleteOh, my teacher is cool alright.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun school day! What a great way to learn about the tabernacle! I think it would be fun to have popcorn for breakfast - too bad she couldn't make it drop out of the school...that would've been cool....
