Oh, No! Clayton Family Dinners have visited OUR house!

Tonight, Joe and I woke from an afternoon nap rather late.  While Joe set to returning the Redbox movie that was due before nine (and in which we would have forgotten about, typically, until 8:45), I heated up burritos smothered in green sauce over rice, shredded lettuce, washed tomatoes and put in corn to heat.  Not enough for everyone--Turkey hotdogs are heated up too.
We called the children to "Dinner"--Hannah coming grumpily--having just awakened herself.

So, what did anyone learn about at Church?

Jonathan is asking, "What's the difference between Franfurters, Hot dogs, and Wieners?"

Susie and Jonathan are carrying on a separate conversation--Hey, that's not a wiener, anymore!  Jonathan says.  "No!  It's squishy like a cow's gutter (udder)!"  Susie retorts, squeezing the naked hotdog she has been peeling with her teeth in half. 

Joe and I taught Susie's class today with what I thought was a powerful lesson on Forgiving Others as Christ Did), "Susie, what did you learn about in Church?"  "Thanksgiving and turkeys!"  (The last 10 minutes of my lesson, of course!)

Meanwhile, Eva is singing loudly, "Poop and Pee!  Pooppy, Pee Pee!"

Hannah and Rebekah?  Rebekah was demonstrating a perfect "Hannah" as she prepares to eat anything--she licks it with her tongue.  Apparently, other cousins at the Family Reunion in Mexico noticed this too and had Hannah in stitches.  (Rebekah currently enjoys her Drama class and shares tid-bits about acting with us on a daily basis.)
