Can I have some more salvation?

It all started during dinner the other night when I was making some grape juice to have with dinner. As we were sitting having our meal, Aidan asked if the grape juice was like what we had at church, and how come it wasn't in a tiny little cup?
We told him it is like the juice we have at church.
So after finishing his first glass he asked, "can I have more salvation, please?"
Ryan and I tried to hold in our laughs.
When we have communion, we say "this is the cup of salvation" as the cups are being passed. Olivia has even caught on and has asked for "salvation" as well!

...I guess at least they are paying attention!

Melting snow and funny sayings...

Thanks for the push Uncle Bo-bo!!!
This picture was taken only 8 days ago, but already our snow has almost completely melted away. It's been raining this morning and almost 50 degrees for the past couple days...so definately in the middle of the January thaw.

Saturday "funny-of-the-day" goes to Olivia:
O: I like my butt. Mom, you like my butt?
Me: Yes, I like your butt.
(I wonder how she'll feel about it in another 15-20 years??!!)

Sunday "funny-of-the-day" goes to Aidan:
As I'm getting ready to leave for work, Aidan first says to me:
Mom, have fun at work today!
Followed by: I hope you don't get fired.
Me: I hope so too.

Happy {blogging} New Year!

So it had been a very long time since I actually sat down at the scrapbooking table. (Or could even see my scrapbooking table!!) After spending a little while yesterday clearing a space, I actually sat down and CREATED.

So this is what I came up with:


Used my December Poppy Ink kit on this one.
Photo of my Grandma with my kids & nephews. The kids are sporting their new pj's from Grandma. Getting ready to blow out the candles on baby Jesus' birthday cake. It's becoming a tradition with our family. This year we celebrated with "HO-HO" cake.
