Me and the kids dressed up for Halloween. The kids were Wonder Woman and Lion. This year, Mason dressed up as a scary lion. He took the red ribbon off his lion costume and wanted some blood on his teeth to show that he had been eating meat.
I went as Buckethead, the former guitar player for Guns and Roses. Even though the real Buckethead wears a mask from the movie Halloween and not Friday the 13th.
We had a pretty good time and the kids got a lot of candy. The night wasn’t too chilly, either, which was nice. Mason had wanted to be Godzilla, but changed his mind at the last minute back to the old lion standby.
On Sunday, we had to leave church early because Whitney wasn’t feeling too good. So on the way home, Mason, who usually responds to Sundays by saying “You know what my favorite part of Church is? Going home,” decided that we hadn’t had enough church yet.
So he decided to plan a lesson and teach us when we got back to the house. He spent all sorts of time preparing with his little flashcards he found, putting them onto the fridge with magnets, and thinking about things to talk about. He labeled each one of our chairs with our own name, so we even had assigned seating.
Anyway, he did a great job and even though the video is kind of long–at 23 minutes–it isn’t as long as staying for the rest of church would have been.
Marty and I went to the Van Halen concert last night. It was really good. We we both surprised by how good David Lee Roth sounded after such a long layoff.
The worst part of the concert was the opening act. It was the worst opening act in the history of the world. It was reggae music for one thing. It may have been a decent band if they were playing in a park somewhere for free, but worthy of opening (more…)
