No school due to rain (or IS there school because Obama said so?)

This morning we woke up to a lot of thunder, lightning and rain... So when I got the kids up for school, it was darker than normal. Sabastian comes in our bedroom after breakfast and says, "Oh we are sooooo not having school today!" I said, "Bas what makes you think that?" He said, "Look outside mom, there's a ton of lightning." So I explained that the only 'weather' we stay home from school for is ICE. So he replies "That Obama, he'll probably make us go to school today!"

Note to my good friend Megan!

Finally got the rest of the Christmas trees down!!!!!! : )

Corky and his 'pack a day' problem... (just kidding)

So Passion Play practice started tonight... I was standing on stage with the kids and we are suppose to really "point and draw attention" to Jesus when he comes in on the donkey. Well in all the years that we've been doing the Passion Play, the donkey was CORKY - one of My uncle & aunt's donkeys... Corky had his last performance last year as he was getting old and is "in greener pastures" now. Well, Bas didn't realize Corky was gone and when Pastor Jason referred to the donkey as "Rose" he was a little confused. He said "Mom, where's Corky?" I said, "Well Bas Corky was getting old and his teeth were gone and Uncle Mark had to cut up his grass for him to eat... and he died." Bas said, "Well, did he smoke or something?"

L O L!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

from the heart

On the way home from church Wednesday night, Bas said quietly, "I'm only happy when G is happy." We weren't too sure how to answer that, so Steve said "How do you know when G is happy?" And Bas said "Because I can feel it in my heart."

Like father, like son.

Well as you might guess, the kids are selling something for school, yet AGAIN... This time it's "Candy bars." Both kids have a box they are responsible for selling. The first day they got their boxes, Sabastian had quite the dent made already. When Steve asked him where all his money was, Bas pulled out just a few dollar bills. So Steve asks him where the rest of the $ is... Bas answers, "I told the girls they could have credit, but I made the boys pay." Oh man...

Bas wants to be a "Scientist"???

OK - it's a funny story that happened a few months ago, but life's been so busy, I haven't had time to "share" lately...

So we are getting ready for church one Sunday morning, and Sabastian is in the shower, taking his sweet time.. and out of the blue says, "I know what I'm gonna be when I grow up" - so daddy takes the bait and asks "what?"... Bas replies "I'm gonna be a Scientist because I finally figured out what 100 + 100 really is... it's 1,000." Steve said "Bas, what is 1 + 1?" Bas answers "Duh, 2." Steve says "How can 1'hundred' plus 1'hundred' be 1'thousand' then?"... Bas replies "uh, hellooooo? Who's the scientist in this household?"

You gotta love it.
