FHE David and Goliath

Tonight for family night we took turns killing Goliath. It was epically cool.

Yellow Slow Down

Standing. looking at the automatic flushing sensor yellow light. Peeing. Says, "Green go. Red stop. Yellow slow down... I can't slow down my pee!"

Picture of the Day - Ashlyn at the Hỏa Lò Prison

This is Ashlyn at the "Hanoi Hilton" which is the name the prisoners of war used for the prison they were kept in during the Vietnam War. The prison is actually called The Hỏa Lò Prison. Her face is just perfect. She looks so stressed at being locked up in the shackles. I couldn't stop laughing while I took the photos. No one else was small enough to stick their feet into them.

Funny Picture of the Day

I found this today. I don’t even remember taking it but it made me smile.

Must have been patch day for everyone with glasses!

Christmas Nativity

Here is Brian's primary class of Sunbeams and CTR 4s. All boys all the time.
Jacob loves having dad as his teacher and I think he does a pretty good job
considering the wild creatures he gets each week. The Sunday before
Christmas they acted out the nativity play in class. They were all a bunch
of wise men and shepherds and I think he said there was a Joseph but no
Mary's in the lot.
