Knock, knock!!

(silence)



OK!!!!

What are you girls doing in your house?



Oh, it's a doll shop! Nice outfits!



RJ2 says you need another style on this wall, CJ....

Gosh, is there anything better than playing in a cardboard box?....

With markers!!....

Especially when it's pouring rain outside....

and you don't have school....

and Mom and Dad had to go vote....

and you've already watched your morning TV....

Really, is there anything better than playing in a cardboard box?....







Well, only if you put the cardboard box on the kitchen table!




(Note to self: Do not work on PTA newsletter at computer while daughters are home in the pouring rain—having already had television—with a cardboard box and markers without turning around occasionally....)

What fun! Some of the best toys aren't bought at a toy store for ridiculous prices.

Love this! My kids also LOVE playing in those cardboard boxes. :) Why do we buy them toys again? Seems that the boxes can entertail and encourage imagination a lot better than the electronic toys. LOL!

Have a great weekend.

This looks like a recipe for a broken bone!!! I can see someone sailing off the back of the table. Or maybe that would be part of the game to climb up and roll off. This was so great! Totally fun kid day.

Just think, all we did at my house was go see HSM3.

Post #100

L ong before we bloggers celebrated our first 100 posts, the psalmists provided us with theirs. In recognition of my 100th, let's celebrate by looking at the Bible's "Post #100" (a.k.a., Psalm 100, A Psalm for Thanksgiving or Thank Offering): Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all ye lands. Surprisingly, there is no direct Hebrew translation for the English word 'joyful' as used in this verse in the King James Version. That leaves things a bit open to interpretation. My study Bible (NASB) says 'joyful' is "a shout of loyalty and homage." The dictionary defines 'joy' with the word rejoicing, meaning "to be made glad again." 'Noise,' however, does come with a Hebrew equivalent, meaning "to split the ears with sound," as in to shout, shout for joy. Lands implies all the earth, the nations, the world. We, those of all nations, are to present to the Lord, out of our loyalty and homage to Him, joyful shouts that...
