This afternoon we decided to go out front and run a little bit of energy out! These pics capture the fun!First, the kids wanted to act scary! Then they wanted to pretend they were dying and coming back to life!
Sophia is very good at following the lead!
Down for the count...1, 2, oh, no, they're alive! Scary stuff people!!! They had a ball, and I certainly got into the fun with them by playing the scared mother role!
And, just in case they didn't look dead enough the first time, Josh and Sophia wanted to show me again. They were still for quite a while!
Nothing like a little bit of afternoon tag! We have a HUGE yard! This is our side yard which give us lots of space to play. This is awesome since in CA the neighbor wouldn't even let us stand on his lawn to catch a football! (Look how long Sophia's hair is!)

Anything Zack can find to hang on, he will!
Tonight we had family devotions which was such a breath of fresh air. I haven't been as great about having them nightly as I was in CA. While cleaning out some unpacked boxes last night, I found the new childrens Bible I had bought. Tonight we read about the days of creation and also the creation of Eve. To that Sophia said, "Smoochy, Smoochy." We had a little bit of drama tied in because we turned out all of the lights to represent the beginning of time. And, you can imagine the rest! The teacher in me had them rehearse the seven days a few times, and they loved it.
Zack's question was HOW is God SOOOOO powerful to do all that? Any brilliant answers out there! I said, He just is. He is the most powerful one of all. And, then Ken said, and it is cool cause God love us! All fours kids just love reading Bible stories together. I always have to close the book much too soon for them.
God is good! I am so grateful that he gives us moments. I think it is in the tiny moments of time that He allows us to get tiny glimpses of Him and His great love for us. For it is in these tiny moments, that we are still and spellbound all at once in a matter of seconds. And, then a minute later, someone is tugging on your sleeve.
Tomorrow is a HAPPY day - Auntie Gina is coming to visit! We are all very excited. We're ready to tire her out!

Totally cute pics. These kids are a riot - they should be in drama.
I love the Bible story discussion and I have no good answer to Zack's question; it's a great question!
Have fun with Auntie Gina/Mom!
PS - Smoochy Smoochy!
Don't you just want to capture their laughs in a little bottle and open it every time things seem to get tough...I used to tell my friends that children playing outside my window (apartment days) was a sign to me that we were not at war and it used to make me very happy to hear them. Now I say that children playing and laughing is a sign that they have a wonderful family, they are loved and in good health and at peace in their tiny big hearts, and that we are not at war. :-)
i saw the sign tooooooooo
