So today was our pre-planned "Noah" Sunday, which in essence wrapped up an entire month of Wednesdays dedicated to the story of Noah and the ark. Not his ark, if you want to get technical - although God used he and his sons to build the thing. Anyway, we were inspired to do this series because the topic of Noah would be "in the air" this month, leading up to the movie which came out this weekend, "Noah." Fortunately, we never endorsed the movie so much - as it apparently misses the mark in quite a few places. Example: righteous man Noah wanting to go kill a baby on the ark, while an evil stowaway plots with Ham to kill Noah, this after the giant rock people are redeemed by helping Noah out. We don't mind a few enhancements to get the point across, but honestly, "Evan Almighty" sounds as if it is more Biblically accurate - and that movie takes place in modern times, in Washington D.C. If I heard there were aliens in a flying saucer in this recent "Noah" movie, I wouldn't be terribly surprised!
Anyway, so we've been going straight to the Bible to tell the kids the story of Noah and the ark. Simple enough, right? It's just three chapters, and we've had fun for five services talking about this epic adventure.
It was a good morning, although there have been some illnesses going around. The numbers were a little down, maybe because of this, and maybe because of the early exodus for Spring Break. Speaking of which, we're not leaving until tomorrow for Spring Break. We made this decision when we got home about 2:00 pm. This gave us some time to rest, to pack some more, and to rest again.
Packing was almost done already, thanks to Mommy. All we had to do was get the music ready - we have to have a few CDs for the journey down and back: Hot Club of Cowtown stuff, Lilo & Stitch Party mix, and of course now the "Frozen" soundtrack. We'll bring along that "Lego Movie" soundtrack too, obviously because of our plans next week.
Today we did a bit of video gaming with Legos, speaking of which. We also watched a movie too: "George of the Jungle." This had Madison giggling at points, as there's a lot of slapstick involved in that movie. It's a pretty funny flick in points, capturing the spirit of the cartoon pretty well. We made a big tub of popcorn and sat on the couch together, watching a movie before bedtime. No getting up early tomorrow - so we stayed up a little later tonight with Madison. But Mommy and Daddy were ready for bed soon after that, early for us, and smart considering the long trip tomorrow.
