What's to say?

I have no inspiration to write. What's to say? It's cold. Sometimes it's really cold. We are all getting sick. The economy is bad. The most fun I have is reading other people's conversations on Facebook. Here are a few pictures just so I can justify this posting!

Oh never mind...I don't have any new pictures that I haven't already posted on facebook. Andrew gets to play in the Target center tomorrow, so I'll take some then. (Before you get too impressed, it's an excuse to make parents buy seventy dollars worth of tickets.) He's excited, though, and very little gets him excited these days.

TTFN...thanks to those of you who've continued to blog...it's gotten me through January.

I've Never Heard This One Before

Having five kids of my own, and having taught Sunday School and worked with groups of kids for years, I've often gathered responses from kids about how to show love to others and to show our love for God by the way we act. Their responses are usually the same: share your toys, don't hit your sister...etc. Well, Lily got me yesterday. As we were going through her Awana Cubby lesson I was supposed to prompt her to think of ways to show God's love to others. I provided her a couple of examples and then sat back and gave her a minute to think of one on her own. She paused for a few seconds and then said, "I know! I know how to show them God's love!... Swaller with your mouth closed!" Not a bad idea if you think about it.
