The Salted King

Late last night, as the kids and I were driving home from the airport after spending a few days in Houston, we were listening to a Kids Worship CD. Katie was the only one that managed to stay awake and I think the reason is that she seemed to be listening quite intently to the words of the music. She asked many questions about what she was hearing. wanting to understand words such as exalted, majesty and glory-which are not easy words to explain to a three year old. Today when we got in the van the same CD was still playing and Katie asks me, "Why did the king get salted, Mommy?" Apparently my definitions weren't so great...

Costume Cuties

Aidan has every intention of playing

for the Houston Astros in about 15 years!

Princess Sarah-sweet as a rose!

Katie Bunny-for the second year running!

Jonah's favorite word these days is "woof" so it was only

appropriate for him to be a dog. When he got the first glimpse of

himself in the mirror he loved it and didn't want to leave the mirror.

We attended "Trick or Treat on Our Street" at the church where my mom attends and my brother, Tim, is one of the pastors. At the end of the night they had a raffle for a chance to throw a pie in one of the pastors faces. My Grandma bought three tickets and wouldn't you know it...one of her numbers got picked when it was my brothers turn. She very thoroughly enjoyed the experience!

Sarah on...The Election

A few minutes ago I told Sarah I would be heading out soon to vote.

Sarah: Who are you going to vote for? Daddy?
Me: I would love to vote for Daddy but he doesn't want to be the president at this time.

It melted my heart that Sarah wants "Daddy for President"! Just think Jeremy, in 13 or so years, your name just may get written on at least one ballot!

Aidan on...The Election

Tonight we were talking with Aidan about the election and the presidental candidates and he wanted to know who we were voting for. Before we answered and knowing that he's been studying in school about the election and who the candidates are Jeremy asked him a couple questions.

Jeremy: Who would you vote for?
Aidan: I can't vote, I'm not 18.
Jeremy: If you were 18 who would you vote for?
Aidan: I don't know, I haven't heard their speeches...

We're glad to know he won't be swayed by outside influences when the time comes for him to vote in 11 years!
