children's choir

The children's choir at church put on a Christmas production called, "Mystery of the Manger." They did a great job & were sooo cute. Here are a few pics from last Sunday.

we've been having internet problems the last few days. i've been on the phone w/ tech support so many times that i've memorized the number. the most frustrating part of the phone call is the new voice-activated system. this is how it usually goes:

AT&T: so that i can get you to the right place, please tell me why you are calling today.

ME: internet problems (mommy i'm hungry) shhhhh.

AT&T: i'm sorry. i'm having trouble understanding you. please tell me why you are calling today. you can say things like "tech support" or "billing question."

ME: tech support (i want some more some juice) i'm on the phone!

AT&T: i'm sorry. i'm having trouble understanding you. please tell me why you are calling today.

ME: TECH SUPPORT!!!! (more ketchup please)

AT&T: i'm sorry. i'm still having trouble understanding you. please hold for the next available agent.

voice-activation.....not a mom's invention!

Have y'all seen these?

I found these Tales of Glory figurine sets at Walmart. Each set comes with 2 figures & a mini-storybook. They had packs of Samson, David, Moses, Jonah, Daniel, Noah & Jesus. Thought they were cute. I'm still looking for little board books with bible stories....the size of the Disney board books I posted about earlier. I want each book to have one story. So if you've seen any, let me know.

I'm turning into a big, fat novelty act!

Girls-
I apologize for these OLD pics. Some of you are probably thinking, "My hair doesn't look like THAT anymore!"

A BIG SCROOGE

the kids are so excited about Christmas. we're trying to get them as excited about Jesus as they are about presents. the other day max said, "is santa...i mean Jesus...going to put toys in our stockings?" (haha) NO!

when max came home from school last week, he said he told simon that santa isn't real. i hope simon's mom doesn't call me.
