My Five Year Olds Can Color

I'm not sure whether to be mad or impressed:

And this is what Jack Dallas will do in a few years (from USC's intersquad on Saturday):

Sunday Best

80's Day at School (and yes they wore leg warmers too)

Yeahhhhhh, booyyyyyy....!

Avery breaks it down in chapel last week:

MARY!

So Jack and his mom were at TJ Maxx yesterday shopping. Directly in front of them in the checkout line there was a Muslim woman wearing a head scarf. According to Mandi there was a point where the light bulb came on in Jack's mind, his face lit up, and exclaimed with great wonder and joy, "Mary!" "Look Mommy, Mary!" And the proceeded to continually point out Mary to anyone who would listen.

Would it be offensive for a Muslim woman to be confused for the mother of Jesus? Probably.

Is it safe to say Jack would have made a better Catholic than Protestant? Probably. 

Did the Christmas store register this year? Definitely.

The Childrens

The whole squad:

It's amazing what you can get for three bucks the day after halloween (not the girl, but the costume):
Avery spent one whole day last week in this get up:
Jackie Boy was a monkey for halloween. He got the flu and didn't venture out, but we still tortured him by making him wear his costume:

Big Truths from a Little Heart

My two four year olds were doing a bit of fighting this morning. Upon some corrective words from their mother both girls determined they needed to go pray about it. Here's the prayer I overheard from Mia. I couldn't help, but write it down:

Dear God,

I am sorry that I am mean to my sister. 

Please help me to love her with my actions. 

Thank you, God for sending Jesus to die on the cross for my sin. 

I love you because you first loved me.

Amen,

-Mia Grace
