Vacation Bible School - The good, bad, and ugly

The good: We had a good turnout this year, and everyone seemed to have fun. The puppets were my kids' favorite thing about VBS. Jax's class sang This Little Christian Light of Mine and recited a memory verse (Jesus wept.) :)





The Bad: We were only able to go 2 nights because of my work stuff. And John stayed with Ronin the second night because Ro had some random rash. Which means that John and Ro missed Jax's class saying their memory verse and singing, the magic show, and the ice cream supper.

The Ugly: While Jax's class was singing their song in front of the church, he tried to do flips, jumped, and started to dance a little. Then he was so excited that he RAN towards the pugh and tripped. His head hit (very hard) against the wooden tray that holds song books under the pugh. I hyperventilated in front of the entire church and then ran out with him screaming. It was a little dramatic ... if you know me. I was most upset because he hit right at his temple and it dented in at first. But it popped out soon enough and the worst of the hit seemed to be under his eye. When he woke up this morning, the first thing he said was, "Mama, boo-boo okay." So I was glad it wasn't hurting anymore. Just sore and bruised now.

The first pictures are the morning after . . .




This was last night, when I finally allowed him to go to bed.
You can see the bruise line in his hair right along the temple.
And he has a chocolate mustache from the ice cream supper . . .
nothing makes boo-boo's better faster than ice cream.

Moses the Pumpkin

For a school pumpkin parade project, Jax has to come up with a character from a book that he enjoys reading. Then we had to decorate the pumpkin like that character. I made a couple of suggestions (Pete the Cat, Captain Flynn and the Pirate Dinosaurs), which Jax immediately shot down. He picked a book from our bookcase about ghosts of Mississippi which I immediately shot  down. I told him that he must pick a book that he actually reads. About 30 minutes later, Jax walked into the kitchen announced his new selection: "I have picked The Bible, and I want my pumpkin to be Jesus." Well, how do you argue with that request?? However, I could not imagine how in the world we could accomplish such a thing. John and Jax took off to Walmart to look for some Jesus hair. Unfortunately, Walmart was all out of potential Jesus hair. So we asked Jax if there was another character from his Bible that he would like to use. He chose Moses. Thank goodness Jax has a creative and artistic daddy! Th...

Banana Bedhead....

I'm sure that Paul Mitchell would be very interested in this new hairstyle that Jax modeled last night. I've known for quite some time that Jax is pretty smart. Now I think that it's obvious that he will also be very fashion savvy. After eating his entire bowl of Spaghetti-o ravioli, I cut up some bananas for him to eat. By the way, we've mastered this new way of eating...2 forks!! While he's feeding himself with one, I'm getting the other fork loaded up with the next bite. He would get a little stingy and refuse (okay, throw a fit) to hand back the fork. So problem solved = 2 forks!! Anyway, he gets pretty sticky when eating bananas because they obviously don't slide on the fork too well. So he uses his fingers. Naturally, the perfect place to wipe your hands when you don't have a shirt is in your hair. Plus fruit is good for you, so it must be good for your hair. Although he didn't exactly say it, I know that he was thinking of calling this very t...

Never Say Never!!! :)

I'm so proud to say that I made it one whole day without opening the envelope. LOL!!! John and I took Jax to the zoo yesterday. We were talking about the ultrasound on the way there, and John finally admitted that he REALLY did see the screen when we weren't supposed to look. He SAYS he didn't mean to, and that he thought she was finished. But, he said that the screen was zoomed in and he saw boy parts! So I ripped the envelope open as soon as we got home for our early-not so surprise- surprise . . . and here is what we saw. Anyway, I'll probably have to ban John for going in the ultrasound on number 3 now. Any volunteers to take his place??? I didn't really have any expectations about gender this time around . . . but I will admit that I'm hoping the third will be a girl!!! I think it's fun that Jax will have a brother to grow up with. And, I've got plenty of clothes for this one too. So there's our news. And for those of you that said I there...
