Potty Time

.....or should I say play time. This is Caleb's version of a good time. Can you tell my boy is about to turn two!!


No, that's not toilet paper. Those are all the white hand towels that are stored in that bathroom.

Apple Juice

Here is an entry that Dave put on his blog for the youth. I thought it was so funny I just copied it here....

Last night, as I was putting my two oldest girls down for bed, I was telling them of the story of Jesus and the Samaritan woman at the well. In understanding some of the significance of this story, you have to know that Samaritans and Jews didn't like each other too much. I went on to explain in detail the point of the story in how Jesus offered the woman a water that would cause her to never thirst again…namely himself.

I asked my girls to recount the story back to me to see if they got the main points, and my 5 yr old pretty much understood it all. Then my three yr old Mikaela got this really excited look on her face when explaining to me to main point of the story.

She said, "Jesus is SOOOO powerful that he can turn apples into Jews. AND he can turn Jews back into apples!"

I was laughing pretty hard as I realized the whole time she thought I was saying that Samaritans really didn't like JUICE. Obviously, she missed some of the main points of the story!

Tummy Time

Thought Sarah could use some face time. Here she is enjoying some tummy time with a few friends.

Siblings

Oh how they love each other. It is a sweet thing to watch.

My Dear

The other morning the kids were all playing together. I looked in and found Caleb laying on the piano bench as if it were a bed. Mikaela was hovering over him and I asked what they were doing. Mikaela responded, "this is my dear".

Reading

Caleb found a new place to read...under the kitchen table.

Broken door

Yesterday Alethea and Dave got locked in the bathroom. We live in a very old house and so the parts of the house are old as well. Well, the story goes, that as they were trying to get out the door knob came off the door. Not all the way, but enough that it was not usable. I was vacuuming so of course did not hear their calls for help. Mikaela finally comes to me and says that Alethea and Dad are stuck in the bathroom. I go to check it out, and find the door knob just hanging there. I, being the mature person that I am, think this is hysterical. Why, I don't know. My first thought is, "Quick, get the camera. This will make a great post on the blog". So, off I go, leaving them still stranded. Dave, then hears the clicking of the camera. "Are you serious?", he asks. Next, he asks me to get a screwdriver. Before I get a chance, Mikaela says she will get it. I think she's going to the drawer where she knows Dave keeps an extra screwdriver. Well, not quite. She comes back with Calebs' home depot kid tool box. Adorable! Of course, I think this is even more funny, so, more pictures. Well, the screwdriver won't fit under the door for me to pass it to Dave, so he asks me to got outside to give it to him through the window. Sweet, more pictures! Needless to say, I thought this whole experience was hilarious. Dave and Alethea were just happy to get out of the bathroom.
