Snow Day

Jude was in an exceptionally good mood the other evening and happily recited both the Bible and Beyonce. As I mentioned before, he really dislikes the camera so I was surprised to have gotten this footage. Even though he knows more age-appropriate songs like "The Itsy Bitsy Spider" and "This Little Light of Mine", it's just funnier watching him sing Beyonce. You can tell I'm striving hard for Parent of the Year.

Jude's class had a "snow day" Friday. For the rest of the country, this means "no school". In SoCal, however, it means I can bring Jude to school on his off-day to play in specially delivered snow placed in a section of the parking lot. I had a meeting conflict at work, but fortunately my director understood that this midwest girl will do anything to expose her kid to semi-real winter conditions. Actually, it wasn't even close to semi-real because I was still wearing short sleeves. Nevertheless, Jude had a great time sledding and throwing snowballs. He cried when it was over and we had to go home. Must be the Chicago in him...

Baby Eli, as you know, doesn't attend school yet and still studies diligently at home.

You crack me up!!  Dude, Jude's got the Lord's Prayer AND Beyonce down pat!  :)  Hahahaa.  I use to think I'd be able to learn through osmosis but Eli takes it to a whole 'nother level!

I'm impressed! Wow, a lot of adult Christians don't even know the Lord's prayer (let alone Beyonce! lol!)
