"I just can't resist Him!"

Hello Everyone,

Here is a picture of the kids before their program tonight.

So far this week has just flown past me! Sunday night's Christmas program went very well. The kids did such a good job! Tonight was the school Christmas program and it was also excellent! Quinn found out yesterday that he had a few sentences to say tonight by memory and boy was he ever nervous. His stomach was upset... he wasn't hungry for breakfast this morning, the whole thing. He said he did fine at school today but for some reason he was "doubled over" with stomach pain at the dress rehearsal. Oh brother!! He did just fine. He had to get a "cue" twice from the director but with less than 24 hours to memorize and with his nerves, I thought he did great. How many video copies do I need to make for all of you? : ) Madison's evening started out "exciting" after she sprayed herself directly in the eyes with her new can of "body spray" (AKA deo). So, Quinn's waiting in the van and I'm doing an eye lavage at the kitchen sink, trying not to get her hair or outfit wet. Whew! She can still see so I guess it turned out OK. : ) She did a very nice job tonight too. She played the xylophone on one of the songs and did great, all memorized as well. The performances are so much more "professional" than when I was a kid! Another neat thing is that the kids all color the programs to be handed out and they sign the back. Out of at least 500 programs, we were handed Quinn's! How cool is that?

Let's see... what else?.... 3 out of our 4 fish died this week. The 4th one is on the way out and the kids refuse to just let me flush him. They really have taken this quite well. I know it's hard to be too attached to fish but leave it to Madison to be attached to a pet like this...! She's thankfully been fine. Quinn decided it was for the best anyway... since they are going to a better place... a place where they will have eternal life and live forever. "OK, riiiight...now time to get out the door for the bus!" He's talking about replacing the fish with a "bull frog" instead. I don't think so.

Are you tired of hearing about cute things that the kids say and do?... just stop reading then. After reading one of Quinn's favorite Bible stories tonight (Jericho's walls falling down) he told me that his truely favorite story was the one about how Jesus died to save us from our sins, so we can go to heaven. I said, "you love Jesus don't ya?" and he said, "Yep! I just can't resist Him!" I thought that was precious.

Amy, yes I read the comments. If you leave them here Blogger automatically emails them directly to our juno address. Most of my readers prove to be shy because they just click on the "email us" link and send us an email directly.

Check out my new link... it's a great site that reviews movies from a Christian perspective. The link is located in the right hand column of this web page. Tony and I have used it for a couple of years now and find that it's very reliable for the content info.

Love to all, Leah
