Our 3 younger children attend a class at our church on Wednesdays called Sacred Arts.  The teacher of the class is our church music director, and my kids *love* participating.  They learn different ways of expressing their faith with music, singing, bells, ASL, puppets, liturgical dance, etc.  They also do crafts and play games, related to whatever message they are learning that week.  It’s creative, it’s imaginative and it’s a way for kids to know that they can praise God through the use of many talents that involve more than just singing a song.

A week ago, they performed ASL to a song, and I captured them on film:

The aunt to the youngest child in this next video captured them on her video camera, and here is their performance:

I am so tickled for them, when they perform at church – a proud mommy moment indeed!

The girls locked themselves in their room the other afternoon, working on some secret project that parents weren’t allowed to know about.  JD left the house to head to Scouts, and stopped by my office shed to tell me goodbye.  Between the time that he left the house … and I went home (no more than 5 minutes elapsed) … our house had been invaded by this secret project … which turned out to be GHOSTIES!

They also hid one in our medicine cabinet – which … ummmm, dare I say scared their dad the next morning?!!

I don’t even know where the topic came from, but it had to have been somewhere in left field.

As we’re sitting around the lunch table after church yesterday, the dad-person said something about molasses.

Son-man asked dad what molasses was made of.

Dad-person responded, “Well, you know what a mole is, right?”
