Of my kids and I doing piratety things……..

We finally got the movie we have been waiting for, Veggietales “The Pirates Who Don’t Do Anything,” and quite honestly, it did not disappoint us! It was hilarious and a great movie for adults and kids alike. Ben did not last through the movie, but his concentration skills are so very poor unless he is trying to break something or take something you have. Amanda had Lilly work to do. But Steph, Scotty and I watched the whole thing and laughed our brains out. It is so refreshing to get a laugh out of a “G-rated” movie, and to find one you would want to see again!

It is such a pleasure, yet I know my time is running thin. Steph will go to college in less than two years and Scotty in three. Plus, they have friends and Steph a boyfriend, and their time hanging with me probably seems a whole lot less appealing than it does to me! I really do enjoy every minute of it. Yet, I know they grow up and move into their own lives. They are great kids and I am proud of them. I am sure lots of kids would pass on seeing Christian vegetables in a pirate movie with their dad….go figure.

So tomorrow will be filled with pirate quotes and a lot of laughing I am sure. My life is good and I am truly blessed. I know special times like tonight are getting to be fewer with time, but I appreciate having the opportunity to share this one with you!

Goodnight my friends, and God Bless you!

Of getting my kids into treatment or not……

I am thinking of taking Ben to a treatment center. He is totally addicted to Veggietales. Of course Steph and Scott knowing every song does not help. They are enablers to be sure. But I suppose of all the things to have an addiction to, religious singing/dancing vegetables is not something to lose sleep over. I, in fact, am a big fan.

For those of you who have not seen Veggietales I encourage you to. They are brilliant, and not just for little kids……the humor (and even the lessons) can touch the souls of adults too. We own quite a few DVDs and have the movie “Jonah.” And yes, on October 11th I will pick up our reserved copy of the long awaited “The Pirates Who Don’t Do Anything.” (They don’t even sail!)

If you can read this blog you can see them on YouTube or other video sites. And in an era where even Disney is getting a bit risque’ it is nice to have something the kids can watch that you do not need to worry about!

Anyway, I need to get back to my boy and his vegetables. I hope you have had a great day! Goodnight and God Bless!
