Little Warrior Loses a Battle - {But Not the War}

He did. He lost a battle with his toothbrush.

Being told he didn't brush well enough and that he has to do it again is somehow an insult. It required a lot of time and some extra firmness to get him back on track. He admitted to being hit by a fiery dart of the devil. Personally, I think he was feeling over confident; like he was the one fighting the battles and forgetting that Jesus is the one who fights for us. Self-sufficiency is a snare laid out to catch the unwary. Oh, to only learn the truth of John 15:5 while he is young "Without me you can do nothing." 

The twins are learning verse 4 of Ephesians 6 now. Missy doesn't quite "get" it. And you fathers, provoke not your children to laugh!!! 

Missy swam for two hours yesterday. Brianna made her work hard the whole time. She has improved her speed and is very nearly ready to pass the swim test to be able to use the slide. She was extra tired and went to bed and slept for 12 hours straight.

I'm feeling a tad better this morning. The cold has gone down into my lungs as expected and is nasty as always every year at this time. When I picked up Steve from work last evening we were both hungry and went out on an impromptu date. We ate at the Mongolian Grill. It's one of those places where you choose your veggies and noodles and flavors- garlic, ginger, sesame oil, etc... and then they stir fry it right in front of you. Vanessa is working again today... chelans were not quite done.
