Third Day

A few weeks ago I took the boys to the Third Day concert at the Civic Center. They were cheering and clapping and singing along to all the songs they knew. If they got this fired up for a Christian concert, I can't imagine what they would be like if they went to a concert with one of Aunt Amy's favorite groups! The pics aren't the best, but it shows how close we were.

Back to Reality

After FIVE days off of school (six for Mom since I was off Thursday), tomorrow we are back to reality. The boys are not happy about this, especially Eric. We have enjoyed staying up late and being lazy in the mornings.
Yesterday I took the kids to Makoti to visit Missy and Josie. We all had fun. Don took the boys sledding at 8:30 pm. It was 10:15 when they got home. Mommy was just a wee bit worried. (Okay, so I got Megan up at 10 pm and drove to the sledding hill to make sure they were all okay and that no one was unconscious or had a cervical spinal cord injury.....)

For the Grandpas...

Snow Day!

9+ inches of snow mixed with winds up to 50 mph = SNOW DAY!!! We were all thrilled to get a day to stay home. Our day was spent shoveling snow, sledding in the front yard, baking cookies, drinking hot chocolate, extra video game time, extra tv time, more sledding, more hot chocolate, and lots of being lazy. Megan was less than pleased when it was time for her to come in.

Halloween

It is not easy to get 3 kids to stand still for a picture in their Halloween costumes. These are the best I could get.
We went to a carnival at First Evangelical Free Church Friday night. The kids all had fun.

Prayer

Last night during prayers, Jonathan thanked Jesus for electricity, since electricity gives us light, which helps Eric not be so scared. When the boys were walking from our room (where we were saying our prayers), Eric thanked Jonathan for praying for electricity for him.

Great Grandpa's Birthday

We visited Great Grandpa Flanigan for his 93rd birthday. It was a fun trip, but never seem to have enough time! The kids got a nice little lesson in the Circle of Life viewing the remains of a deer in the ditch by Grandpa's driveway. They also saw a cat skeleton in the "cat barn".
Megan fell in love with Great Grandpa immediately. She kept close to his side while we were there, and whimpered for Grandpa when we left.
