Chris To Z...

"You are making me go crazy and BALD!!!"

The Wrestler...

The Stallion was wrestling with the boys when suddenly M yanks off his shirt to reveal a temporary tattoo he'd stuck right in the middle of his scrawny chest. You should have seen Chris's face!

Out Of Context...

I realized today that Chris and I say things to each other that sound really bad when taken out of context. For example The Stallion just said to me:

"I could so beat you."

(He didn't, though. I made it to the kitchen first:)

M's Take On Guitar Hero...

"Hey, dad. If you had a really cool tattoo and then took off your shirt before you play guitar hero, then you would REALLY ROCK!!!"

He's Too Cute...

"Hey, what do you think you're doing? Get out of there! Come on. Right now, I said! Come on you silly foot! That's right. Come to papa."

-Z, while attempting to take off his footed pajamas.

Making Predictions...

M's grammar book had an assignment yesterday concerning making predictions. Here are my two favorite answers.

Latoya decided to bake some brownies. She put them in the oven and went outside and jumped in the pool. She swam for a long time. She forgot all about the brownies. What will happen next?

They started to burn. Uh-Oh. Kaboom! They exploded!

Dad and Sam went fishing. They rowed the boat to the middle of the lake. Then they hit a rock that made a hole in the bottom of the boat. Water started rushing in. What will happen next?

Its too sad. I can't tell you.

Z's Plague Story...

"Today I learned about Moses and the evil shepherd. There were lots of frogs. And when you get out of bed in the morning you'd step on frogs. And, this is gonna be hilarious, when you take a drink of water a frog gets in it and you go BLEAAAHHHH! And you couldn't get to your office 'cause there are too many frogs. Only it wasn't really funny. Just a little bit, but not a lot."

(FYI--Pharaoh has a staff in the picture, thus the "evil shepherd".)

Out Of One Of My Christmas Books...

So wondrously caring is God ev'ry day,
Creating, sustaining my life ev'ry way.
Each breath I intake, ev'ry beat of my heart,
All pleasures well-tasted are His to impart.
Indeed, for such blessings He should be adored
And honored supremely as eminent Lord.
In fact, for this purpose He brought me to be,
That I might His glory and kindliness see
And cherish Him fully in all of my days,
Obeying with pleasure whatever He says,
Fulfilling the calling He's laid upon me
To show forth His glory deliberately.

-A Gospel Primer for Christians by Milton Vincent

Whatever Happened To...

Chris: Do you ever think that K.Fed is really just Vanilla Ice? What happened to him, anyway?
Me: I don't know. He only had one hit song. Its just like that guy Snow.
Chris: Oh, global warming.

The Happiest Thing That Happpened Today...

I almost forgot to wash the kitchen towels and napkins, but then remembered just in time. And that was the happiest thing that happened to me to today. (I'll blog about our trip just as soon as I have 10 consecutive seconds.)
