October Tidbits

"Weekends are a bit like rainbows; they look good from a distance but disappear when you get up close to them."- John Shirly

Dot and I went to see "One Night With the King" on Wednesday. It was wonderful! I loved Esther's gowns!!! One gorgeous one after another. There were a number of great lines. They did change the story a bit - figures - but it was still very fun. I would love to know whether the connection between Haman the Agagite and King Agag whom King Saul was supposed to kill but let live until Samuel killed him in 1 Samuel 16 is a real possibility. It is an interesting thought and would explain the intense hatred Haman had toward the Jews. One of the lines they had Esther quote to the King was from Proverbs 25:2 "It is the glory of God to conceal a matter, but the glory of kings to search it out." Thought provoking. I would love to see the movie again.

Friends of ours saw "Facing the Giants" and really enjoyed it. We would love to see that one as well but may have to wait until it comes out on DVD.

Baby Sweet Pea is growing. Dunk, Drum, Dime, Duke, and Dessert have felt the baby kick. The girls still keep missing it and are growing a little frustrated. Hopefully they will catch it soon. I am off all my penicillin thanks to the chiropractor - believe it or not. I'm so glad. Food tastes better I've noticed.

There are two ladies due at our church and I'm so eager for them to have their babies as then I will be next and it will seem even more of a reality.

Dessert let us know that he's waiting for Mommy's tummy to get bigger and then he will pop it and it will explode and the baby will come out. - Yikes! :-)

The mudroom is ready to be taped!!! We are working on getting a taper - hopefully it won't take too long.

The kids are racing to put their jammies on, and carmel corn is waiting to be eaten. See ya....
