Gold, Silver or Bronze

Okay so who hasn't been watching the Olympics??
Well for us who have not had any kind of television for 4 whole years not even broadcast,
We HAVE! So we were at Lowes one night and I grabbed an antenea so that we could watch the Olympics and the Debates with election coverage. So far it has been a blessing and a curse.
Curse - because 2 of my kids have never had televison ever in their lives and cannot pull themselves away from it. They are only allowed to watch PBS
Blessing - because we have soooooo enjoyed watching the Olympics (not the commercials).
They have been so fun and exciting to watch. Yup, I am still as competitive as always! But hey it only comes around every 4 years so that's good.

Also Elijah runs around asking me to watch him and score him. He has yet to get the gold although, I'm not sure what would be gold medal worthy. What's really funny is that he was doing it at church and I am sure people heard us talking about what he got. It's funny to watch him yell at the t.v. with who is ahead and behind and then get totally bummed out when USA doesn't make gold. You should hear him talk trash about China. "Man China doesn't even care about their baby girls but they sure care about those gold medals!" "I can't believe China doesn't even believe in God or allow children to read bibles." He learned all about China at the VBS that he attended this summer. It had an Olympic theme and they collected $ for China so that they could hand out bibles. He's a little sponge with a heart of GOLD!!

Yay! I'm so glad you have a blog now :) One of these days I'll have to start one too ...
Tell Elijah he gets a Gold from me! What a sweetheart he is, thinking about the people more than the Games :)
We're so loving following the Games too! We've used it as an opportunity for unit studies and we'll cap it off with our own Games this weekend. The boys are training and making flags. What fun to enjoy this with our children!
