Mom said it was going to snow.
She asked me to knit,
I answered and said, "No."
My brother took the dog,
We didn't look.
For we found a frog,
And put it in my book.
My friend found him,
He had been seen in the sand.
Now he's at the gym,
Leading a band.

thank you for giving me
a mind that can know
and a heart that can love.

Help me to keep learning every day of my life--
no matter what the subject may be.
Let me be convinced that all knowledge leads to you
and let me know how to find you and love you
in all the things you have made.

Fortunately the principal is not intimidated by the ACLU and the kids are still allowed to sing "religious" songs.

Help them to take failure, not as a measure of their worth, but as a chance for a new start. Give them strength to hold their faith in you, and to keep alive their joy in your creation; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
—Book of Common Prayer 1979

Originally uploaded by JasonTromm. Rachel is so proud of our Christmas tree this year. She did almost 100% of the decorating. Of course, her little bother has taken off lots of ornaments that she's had to put back on time after time.

I got out of bed to see what it was. I couldn't find where the noise was coming from. Then, I heard it again. It was coming from the haunted house right next to us.

Next, I went over to the house. I went in and the noise became louder. Then I heard a loud scream. The scream scared me, but I couldn't get out, I was lost.

Next, I saw a small girl about three years old, she had no hair and her face was bleeding. Then, I saw what was making the noise, it was a huge flying vampire jack-in-the-box.

It started chasing me all over the haunted house. It chased me straight out the door then he stopped, because he couldn't leave his house. I ran back to my house.

AAAHHH! I woke up in my own bed. My mom came in and said, "What's the matter?" I said, "I had the scariest dream,it was about a flying vampire jack-in-the-box." My mom told me, "It was just a bad dream, go back to sleep now."
