The little things.....

 mean so much to children.

It was the ending of a typical busy homeschooling day.  There was laundry that needed to be put away, school work to grade, baths to be given, family Bible time to do, and kids to put to bed.  I knew something was "up" earlier that day when I saw Mariah busily cutting up paper into squares.  I have seen my children make "tickets" to more shows than I can count!  I looked at her and said, "Make sure you clean up your mess."  I barely listened to her when she said something about charging $1 for the show.

 I was sitting on the couch nursing Macheus with my mind on the things I needed to get done.  Marc came in and said,  "I know you have a million things to do right now, but I think it is important for us to go watch their show."  I didn't realize that Mariah and Malachi had already set up for it outside and had managed to get $1 from everyone!  Marc had even paid my way! :o)

 So.... Macheus and I wrapped up and trooped outside to our seats!

 The "big kids" were good sports and came too.  (They didn't really have a choice.  We have watched MANY of their shows over the years! :o)

We all laughed and laughed as the two of them sang hymns to the top of their lungs and played the "guitar" (baseball bat) and "drums" (bucket and sticks).  They didn't seem to mind us laughing. :o)

 Mariah's get-up was amazing! :o)  The girl ADORES high heels!

Sweet little Macheus.

Yes, we were late getting everything done that evening but the memories that we have are priceless.  What did they do with the money they made???  They spent it on a carton of Bryers ice cream. :o)
