New Bedroom

Elizabeth got a bedroom redo with a new big girl bed. Says Beth, "I love it!"

Trees

Caleb: Dad, can I paint the trees in the backyard white? All of them.
Dad: Mmm... no.
Caleb: But why not?
Dad: I don't want my trees painted white.
Caleb: Well, they are actually God's trees, since He made them. So they're not really yours. And I don't think He would mind if I painted them white.
