World Math Day

Have you heard of World Math Day? I can't believe I hadn't heard of it until just last week. It is a fabulous opportunity for children of all ages to have fun with math and compete with other children from all over the world! I completed the registration (FREE) for both of my children and we will be participating. Once you are registered on the World Math Day site, this is also good for World Spelling Day, which happens just a few days later.

Click here for a detailed explanation of World Math Day, which I found at Let's Play Math.

It gets even better! There's an app for you iTouch, iPhone and iPad users! Woo hoo!

This Week's Mustard Seed

Today I'm linking up with Jennifer and Rebecca for Mustard Seed Planting. Rebecca and Jennifer have inspired me to be more intentional about learning God's word and MEMORIZING God's word as well. I'm starting with baby steps, which essentially for me is a longer Bible study time with my children and memorizing verses with them.

Over the past month we have been working our way through the book of Acts. I am ashamed to say I had never read through that book before, until now. We are learning so much, and what is sticking with my children is Paul's transformation and his fervent spread of the gospel during his journeys.

I thought this was pretty cute. In our Bible it said something about Paul being a "man of action". My six year old piped in "MOM! PAUL WAS A VERB!" We laughed so hard. But he's right, isn't he? Paul was a verb and shouldn't we all be a verb - a verb for God?

Out of the mouths of babes....
