Wipe Out!

The prophets taking a bath. I thought this would be a good picture to put on their dorm room in college. The girls will oooo and ahhh over it.
All summer the Elliott kids have been coming over on Tuesday nights and watching Wipe Out with us. Tonight, the Woods joined us. I was surprised that we all fit in our small "den." Let's just say it was loud and hot.

Summer Jubilee

Grace lost a front tooth today. It is in the baggie. It wasn't ready to come out however, and there was a lot of drama & blood involved. She was playing with Obie and somehow hit her mouth on his head and the tooth just flew out. He apparently has a hard head.
Lucy wanted her picture taken with this lovely piece of art work.
Elisabeth is saying "Hi". I think she looks like Joel.

Beautiful Grace with one less tooth.This is what Obie is wearing today. It is 1:30 and he still has his pajamas on. He is wearing Elisabeth's soccer shirt over his pj's. Eversince that shirt came into our home he has claimed it as his. He was quite amused when Grace's tooth flew out of her mouth. I think it was his plan all along.

Hail to the Redskins!

Christine: "Is today Happy day?"

Joel: "Today is getting Happy day!"

First preseason game: Colts 16, Redskins 30!!!!!!!!!!!

Water Slide Fun

We used this slide at the family picnic for Bible Day Camp and our kids (who were there early because we helped set it up) were able to play on it for a good hour before everyone else arrived. It's just another perk to being a pastor's kid.

After camp, my kids had water slide envy and put this together. It entertained them on a hot day and Obadiah proved to us once again that he has no fear.

More Bible Day Camp Fun

The last day of camp we had a picnic in the evening and invited the parents. We had the kids sing the songs they learned to the parents. Obie, who wasn't at camp until that night, ran up to the front for every song and then just stared at the audience.
Obie is a kid who is always on the move but the puppet show held his attention for some time.
The older kids put together a "Bible Rap" with the puppets. Elisabeth is one of the mice in the FAR corner.
