I am still seething from a "Jesus would want us to pay for healthcare" comment that I foun on the internets - this is a nice antidote. Not sure if you are a Doctor Who fan, but the new companion has a scene as a child where she is praying to Santa- she doesn't know anyone else!
I guess you are kinda committed to teaching your children correct doctrine and all of that..me, I like to use Jesus as a threat and a promise..like "If you go to bed for Aunt Lori, Jesus will let you go to the pool tomorrow" or "If I hear one more fight, I am calling Jesus and he will come over here!"
yeah, I'm not going to make it to the Celestial Kingdom. Please come and visit me!!
Lori, she (Ellie) said, "I'm just waiting for Mom or Dad or Jesus to give me an iPod." After I made my comment, she said, "Well, then, I'll just ask Jesus to tell Santa or the Easter Bunny to bring it to me." (Which is kind of close to your Dr. Who story, Kylie. I don't watch it, though.) So we're trying to teach correct doctrine, but she keeps making her own up as she goes along. Why wouldn't Jesus, Santa, and the Easter Bunny be in cahoots, after all?
Kate, it's just one of the new templates offered by blogger. I was happy to find one I really liked that was free and didn't require any effort on my part :)
I guess I can understand where you're coming from, because although I'm not 100% sure we're done with babies, it's not happening any time in the near future regardless, and sometimes I wonder what it would be like to have a little boy. Your Sam is adorable.
"Jesus is NOT going to give you an iPod."
hahaha
ReplyDeleteHow about a Zune, at least?
Ha- that's great!

Not to be controversial, but I think Jesus would want us to pay for healthcare. iPods, not so much.
ReplyDeleteI love what you said to your kids....not so much the anonymous comment on your blog.

Staying away from healthcare debate...

I love your blog look. It looks great. I haven't looked along the side to see who did it, but I'm looking for someone to redo mine. It needs a lift :)
ReplyDeletecute cute girls. i'm a still a little jealous. I love my little Sam but I wish he would have been a girl sometimes.
