Sarah Beth was over this evening for a while. After I while I decided I would try and teach her a memory verse. She has so many things memorized, things like songs on songs on songs (which is good), books, people's first and middle names, what town and state she lives, stuff like that. Then she has other things memorized, the Indiana Jones Theme, the names of Major League Baseball players.... So, I decided why not try a Bible verse! She could memorize Bible Verses. So, I started with an easy one, "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth." That didn't go over to well, to many big words, it started coming out as In the beginning, umm... earth!" I figured "Jesus Wept" wouldn't make much sense so we did "Rejoice Always" instead. That went over fine. So we went on to something a little harder, "Little Children keep yourselves from idols, Amen." She caught on to that one right away, she go the "Little Children" part and the "Amen" part. The middle part went like this:
"Little Children... umm.... buy candy!"
"No, try again."
"Little Children... umm... keep your tomatoes, Amen!" Followed by a huge smile cause she was SURE she had it right. She still says tomatoes, but sometimes she says idols... we'll just have to keep working on it.

Sarah B isms
I just came home from M&D's. Sarah B was walking around singing "Battle Axe is fallen, that great city is fallen"... Took me a few minutes to figure out where she came up with Battle Axe... It gave me a good laugh!
You probably have to know the two songs to entirely get it.... The song she was trying to sing was "Babylon is fallen..." but instead of Babylon, she was inserting Battle Axe from the song Ye Are God's Battle Axe.

Interesting Fact
Remember this guy.
The legendary Frank Sinatra (sometimes known as "The Voice")
Well, I'll bet you didn't know that in 1969 he wanted to play Tevye, in the grand film remake of the Broadway hit musical Fiddler on the Roof.
Yep, Frank Sinatra instead of Topol. Just doesn't quite click, does it?
15 things to keep in mind when going through the Drive-Thru
- You don't need to specify that your order is 'To-Go'. We don't usually hand food out the window on a tray.
- Just because I work at a fast-food restaurant doesn't mean I am stupid.
- Don't shout it distorts your voice.
- We don't repeat your order to hear ourselves talk, we honestly want to make sure we have it correct. Please listen, if you pull up to the window and complain when your food is wrong, it's not our fault, you're the one who didn't correct the mistake when we repeated the order.
- Please order by size, it helps a LOT!!
- Hollering "hello" the second you pull up to the menu board is just plain rude.
- Please roll your window down. I can't hear through glass.
- Driving through DT in reverse because the driver is too lazy to order is just plain confusing.
- Please have the person sitting in the drivers seat order, it's very difficult to hear anyone else.
- Please don't talk on your cell phone, I can't see you and it's hard to know if you are talking to me or not.
- Please don't let all your frustration out on the DT person, chances are you're not the only one who's having a bad day. Some days every other person through the DT is having a bad day and they let it all out on the DT person. It gets really discouraging! Especially when you are doing your job right.
- If you order a Medium Pepsi. That means you want a Pepsi to drink. It doesn't mean Root Beer or Mountain Dew, or any other beverage.
- I am not a computer therefore I do not function like one. I promise.
- Please don't pull ahead while I am still talking to you. You wouldn't walk away if we were talking face to face, would you?
- Just FYI, I'm not fluent in Daffy Duck Language.
I love my babies!
Yesterday we went over to Mom and Dad's for supper. Well, of course before supper was mostly spent playing with my darling baby sister who I miss so much!
For those of you who have been to our house, you might remember Luke loves to come "knock" on the "door". And when you open the "door" and say hello he will introduce himself as "Yadier Molina" "Brett Favre" "President Bush" or some other well know hero of his. And then ask if he can come over for dinner. Well, we of course always say yes let him "in" and then introduce him to everyone. Well, yesterday Sarah decided that she wanted do it as well. So she "knocked" on the "door" and when I answered it she declared "Brett Favre!"
And just for fun a picture of Sarah and Josh playing the piano :)

Kids say the cutest things
These are Pumpples
not pumpkins.
And are not to be confused with apples.

Sarah saw a picture of a pumpkin and thought they were apples.
I decided to teach her how to say pumpkin. She can't say the "k" sound. After a few tries she resorted to Pumpples. And if you tell her pumpKIN. She say "Tatie, that's a pumpPLE!!

Apparently I need to get married
A few weeks ago while I was teaching one of my students asked me
"How old are you?"
"Almost 23. Am I old?"
"No....................................Are you married?"
"No."
"You should get married."
"Why?"
"Just cause, you should."
"Oh, but what if I got married and had to move far away and could be your violin teacher anymore."
"You don't have to."
"I don't have to what?"
"Move. You can get married and still live here."
"Here as in Platteville."
"No, you can get married and still live at home."
Well, he is only 8, I think... anyway he doesn't quite understand. But then again, it was sweet of him.

Annoucement, annoucement!!!
Apparently, I don't exist...
In fact our entire family does not exist...... that's strange... I thought we existed, maybe I should have someone pinch me.... Thankfully, according to this database, some, but not all of our friends exist. So they can vouch for us :)
Did you know?
If you ever go to Washington D.C. here's a little tid bit you need to know ahead of time.
If the horse has all four legs on the ground it mean the rider survived the war/battle.
(General George Thomas)
If the horse has three legs on the ground, one leg up that means the rider was wounded during the war/battle.
(John Logan)
If the horse has 2 legs on the ground, 2 legs up it mean the rider died in the war/battle.
(Sorry I couldn't find a picture)
But hey, if it worked everywhere that would be a great way to learn history.
P.S. Out tour guide said that if there are 3 legs off the ground it means the horse and rider both died ;)
There is a key to the statues that involve the horses.
If the horse has all four legs on the ground it mean the rider survived the war/battle.
(General George Thomas)If the horse has three legs on the ground, one leg up that means the rider was wounded during the war/battle.
(John Logan)If the horse has 2 legs on the ground, 2 legs up it mean the rider died in the war/battle.
(Sorry I couldn't find a picture)
There are of course a few exceptions......
General Andrew Jackson - future president of the United States, lived and was unwounded
But hey, if it worked everywhere that would be a great way to learn history.

Les Mis Quiz
I'm Jean Valjean!
(No, really.) Some people may see me as a little sanctimonious, but though I care deeply about doing right, I'm not above a little skulduggery in a good cause. Being in touch with my spiritual side doesn't make me an easy target... on the contrary, in fact. Which Les Miserables Character Are You? |

Fun 1
Every morning Debbie gives Luke a Bible lesson using flannel graphs and then they have a quiz about, you know, what are the 10 plagues, Who are Joseph's 11 brothers, etc. Well, this morning after they cleaned up the flannel people, Debbie asked Luke "What are the 10 plagues of Egypt?" Luke responded "OH!!" put his hands to his head as if thinking very hard and then started counting off on his fingers; Reuben, Simeon....
