This week’s winner comes to us from Angela Smith…
"Kaleb loves to sing; one day I overheard him singing these words(which he thought were the right words!) to the song "Father Abraham"...
Father Abraham had many sins
Many sins had Father Abraham
I am one of them and so are you
So let’s just praise the Lord!
After having a good laugh, I explained to him that we are the SONS of Abraham and not his sins!"
See ya Monday, everyone!

I’m back with yet another winner from our Friday Funnies contest! This entry comes to us from Kim Polk…
One day we were in the car and my 4yr old overheard me telling my husband that the Salvation Army was coming tomorrow to pick up our couch. JoJo said "Who is coming tomorrow?" I said the "Salvation Army" and he asked "Who are they?" Not thinking how the words Salvation Army sounded to a small child I simply said that they were coming to get our couch because we didn’t want it any more. He was quiet for a few moments and then in a timid voice said "Will they have guns?"
Have a great weekend, everyone.

This has been an incredibly difficult decision. We had such a great time reading all of the “Friday Funnies” entries. Narrowing this down was next to impossible, but we got it down to four winners. We will be posting one today and the others over the next three Fridays. Ladies, for those of you that won, we will be contacting you for your addresses and you will find your Starbucks in the mail. To everyone else, thanks for making this contest so much fun. I promise that it will not be the last. I hope that you enjoy these as much as we did….
Winner #1
“Our little bro, Jared, is always saying funny things… This story happened one Sunday in his Children’s Ministry class when he was 6 years old. His teacher was talking to the class about Luke. She was telling them that he was a physician, or a doctor. Jared politely raised his hand & said: “Luke wasn’t a doctor… he was a Jedi”!”

We have had a huge response to the "funny kid sayings" contest! We were sitting down today to finally narrow it down to a winner and wouldn’t you know, our internet would not work. This led to a long time on the phone with our internet provider which eventually led to someone coming to the house to work on it. By the time it was fixed, we all had to disband for our evening activities. We didn’t want to decide this winner quickly. It’s gonna be a pretty tough call. Can you feel the excitement building?!? So, we have decided to make it "Saturday Funnies" this week. Be sure to check in tomorrow for the big winner…

I’m back! Still enjoying my reign as queen of the blog for a day. I’m thinking that we need to have some kind of contest. How about submitting the funniest thing that your child or a child that you know has ever said. The winner will not only be posted on “Friday Funnies,” but will win a Starbucks gift certificate! I will start the submissions…
My two most recent favorite sayings are from my 2-year-old nephew Jack:
1.) He opened up his bible story book the other day and said “Hi God!”
2.) He was watching me do something around the house and when I finished he said, “Good job, NaNa (that’s the kids name for me), I’m proud of you.”
Your goal is to top these so that I won’t have to award myself the Starbucks gift certificate. Send us an e-mail with your submissions by clicking on the “Email Me” link on the left side-bar. This is gonna be fun!

This week’s Friday Funny from our good friend Kathy T. is too long to put in a post. But you can download the file by clicking here. We recommend you wait until the kids are in bed, or you’ve arrived home from work or school, and enjoy this laugh with a steaming cup of hot herbal tea.
May the Lord bless you and keep you and make His face to shine upon you and be gracious to you. May the Lord lift up His countenance upon you and give you peace this weekend! (Numbers 6:24-26)

The stereotype of "bad women drivers" has been perpetuated for years—even though it is completely unfounded. Don’t you agree?
However, we recently discovered our hubands gleefully circulating the following incriminating pictures. We are officially calling for a full investigation into the authenticity of these photographs.

This Friday Funny is lovingly dedicated to all the moms with kids in sports. (Thanks to Terry M. for letting us share this!)
About 5 1/2 years ago (1999/2000), I attended an away game at Sandy Spring for Covenant Life School’s JV basketball team. Ten minutes before the game, I decided to stop by the restroom. I found the ladies room easily enough—a small but sufficient 2-stall bathroom. I entered a stall, pulled my pants down around my knees and sat down to business. That very moment, the entire Sandy Spring JV boys basketball team flooded into the restroom. What was I to do? They were using this restroom for pre-game coaching, and I was trapped. This can’t be, my thoughts protested; they didn’t even mark the door. Suddenly, the walls to my stall seemed short, and the basketball players even taller than usual. Looking up, I could see the backs of heads of players who had not yet turned around, looked down and detected me. Options raced through my mind. I could draw my feet up, and hope no one looked under the door. But they were taller than the door; they would look over it if curiosity prompted them. If I were dead silent, I might go unnoticed. But that sounded like an empty hope. Besides, the more time passed, the more embarrassing the discovery would be. They might think I had been planted by the opposition team to steal game strategies. These and other outrageous thoughts whirled through my head. I was being ridiculous. They’d never believe I’m a spy; I’m a soccer mom, lost and wandering through basketball season. Paramount at the moment was getting my pants up before being found. Stealthily, I snatched up and latched my jeans and emerged, startling them all. I exited, muttering parental scolding about putting a sign on the door, and knocking. I might have heard a bashful apology from one of them, but was in too much of a hurry to acknowledge it. I have no other recollection of the game, but I’m sure the Covenant Life School Cougars beat the pants off Sandy Spring!
May the grace of God be with you this weekend!

This week we thought we’d poke a little fun at ourselves.
Each year on vacation we try to take a picture to chronicle the growth of our family. With three boys two and under, this is no small feat. It took three separate photo shoots (with multiple pictures per shoot) before we finally came up with a picture worth a spot on Grandma’s mantle.
Given the challenge of getting five boys, our husbands, and ourselves cleaned up and looking presentable three different times, and the additional difficulty of getting all the boys happy at the same time, we weren’t exactly laughing during this process. Although we did manage to smile for the camera.
Here’s a picture from each shoot to give you an idea of the journey to Grandma’s mantle. The final picture is the winner!
May God give you much grace, peace, and laughter this weekend!

Every mom can relate to the mortifying experience of having her child misbehave at just the wrong time. However, few of us can probably relate to Jane Roberts, the wife of John Roberts—the man that President Bush nominated to the Supreme Court this week. Here’s what her son was doing while the president was speaking:
This post comes to you with thanks to our very good friend Justin Taylor. He helped us start this blog and has provided invaluable advice and encouragement along the way. Thanks Justin!

This story made me smile. I hope it makes you smile too!
“What Happened Here Today?”
One afternoon a man came home from work to find total mayhem in his house. His three children were outside, still in their pajamas, playing in the mud, with empty food boxes and wrappers strewn all around the front yard. The door of his wife’s car was open, as was the front door to the house.
Proceeding into the entry, he found an even bigger mess. A lamp had been knocked over, and the throw rug was wadded against one wall. In the front room the TV was loudly blaring a cartoon channel, and the family room was strewn with toys and various items of clothing. In the kitchen, dishes filled the sink. Breakfast food was spilled on the counter, dog food was spilled on the floor, a broken glass lay under the table, and a small pile of sand was spread by the back door.
He quickly headed up the stairs, stepping over toys and more piles of clothes, looking for his wife. He was worried she may be ill, or that something serious had happened. He found her lounging in the bedroom, still curled in the bed in her pajamas, reading a novel. She looked up at him, smiled, and asked how his day went.
He looked at her bewildered and asked, “What happened here today?”
She again smiled and answered “You know every day when you come home from work and ask me what in the world I did today?”
“Yes,” was his incredulous reply.
She answered, “Well, today I didn’t do it.”
May God give you abundant grace to enjoy Him and rejoice in the gospel this weekend!

This week’s "Friday Funny" comes to us from Anne in Seattle, WA.
Anne’s husband Dave offered to serve her by going to the grocery store. He succeeded in finding all the items on her list except one: "Maxis with Wings." Dave thought that “Maxis with Wings” must be some sort of chicken product. So he diligently searched the poultry section, scrutinizing all the labels. Unable to find what he was looking for, he finally asked for help from a couple of ladies standing nearby. Between fits of laughter they directed Dave to the feminine products aisle.
Thanks Anne—and Dave—for letting us share this story!
Have a tremendous weekend everyone!

As we sign off each Friday, we want to send you into the weekend with a smile. Proverbs says, “A joyful heart is good medicine” (17:22).
To inaugurate this weekly post I want to tell you about a conversation between a mom (in our church) and her young daughter. The mom (who will remain anonymous) submitted this story in response to the question, “What is the funniest thing your child has ever said?” Here’s her reply:
“My daughter and I were passing by a well-known lingerie store in the mall. Upon seeing a picture of a model in the window, she turned to me and said: ‘Don’t worry, Mommy, you don’t look anything like that!’”
Have a great weekend!
Carolyn, Nicole, Kristin, and Janelle
