Sunday's Fun

Mike was sick. He stayed home. Arielle had a sore throat but was needed for a performance. She, Jared and I went in. She performed. I taught Mike's Sunday School class. We left after Sunday School, bought a thermometer and headed home.

Jared decided to run back to base - as in RUN to the base...and BACK HOME. He'll feel it tomorrow.

Meanwhile, back at home we took everyone's temp. All were fine....except mine was HIGH...which is a shock becuase my temp is always low due to my thyroid....so I'm typing this up and heading to bed. I've taken it easy today.

Advent Clue: "Think outside the schoolhouse."

From 09 December

The boys ran hither and yon in places that might be considred outside of the schoolhouse. Stacia followed.

Arielle learned from Mom that it's a good idea to sit and think about these clues. ::snort::

Then she discovered 1/2 of the gift. In the antique school desk that is outside the schoolhouse.

Nolan found the other half.

We try to do four "bigger" gifts on the four Sundays of Advent. Last week was a game, this week was DVD's. I loved how they fit in with our Advent Readings. They are Veggie Tales...one on St. Nicholas (today being St. Nick Day) and one on Abraham (who we read about this week in our devotionals).

The particulary fluy around here either runs no fever OR a very high one. The no fever one seems to be a bit worse for adults.

flu-lol- not fluy

This is SO hilarious! This is the exact Advent gift my kids are getting tonight!

Hope everyone is feeling much better soon!

Our kids got the Veggie Tale St. Nicholas movie for St. Nicholas' feast day today.:)

Great minds, huh?

I'm praying this one is not disappointing. I know we got one Veggie Christmas one and were not happy with it...but I figure this one should be about St. Nick - therefore at least more of the story than the one we had before. LOL

I am trying to tie ours into the Jesse Tree reading this year too. We will be getting "St. Nick" toward the end of Advent when our ornament is "Man".

Jen said...

Oooh, I forgot about it being St. Nicholas day today! I am usually more on top of that, but this has been a crazy year. Maybe I will pull it out today after all and come up with something else for "man" day. :-)

Fun! Not sure why, but the pic that should be of Nolan finding the other half just shows the word "McAfee".

Oops. I meant the advent hunt is fun. Sorry some aren't feeling well.

Sis:

Sounds like another busy and good day which ended in a most positive way. Good for you all!! Sorry we did not read any stuff until today and missed that Mike & Arielle were sick. OK, We'll be praying until all are well. l/p Mom T.
