She's bringing out the big guns...

Last Friday night our family had plans to go over to the Brookmans for dinner. We had talked about it with the girls and they were REALLY looking forward to it. Ainsley was probably the most excited but she had been acting really crabby all day. So finally about 30 minutes before we need to leave I decided maybe she didn't feel good. I take her temp no less than 10 times and twice i get 99.2. I relay this to aaron and he proceeds to take her temp another ten times and gets "normal" every time. Then we change the batteries and i take it 3 or 4 more times and get 99.4 once. All this time aaron and I are discussing what we should do. Maybe he should go and take the little girls and I will stay home with ains...maybe she doesn't have a fever and she'll be fine...maybe we should give her motrin...you get the idea. About this time she comes up to us like this...
and says..."Now this Bible is tellin' you that I can go! Do you understand me?"

Now, first of all, we love God and his word in our home and we talk about him alot, but we do not beat our children over the head with it. I mean seriously, can't you just see it? Me chasing Abbey around the house with my bible yelling "Abbey, this Bible is telling you DON'T poop on the floor!" I honestly have no idea where she gets this.

And secondly, this is not the first incident of Ainsley using the bible to make sure somebody got the message. The good new is I happened to catch that one on video. Just a little info on the video...last summer ainsley decided she would lead us all in a "bible study". She is wearing one of my nighty things and Abbey informed us at some point that she was standing in that spot because she was "dying on the cross". It's a little chaotic but i think you'll get the idea...what happens at 30 seconds is just about identical to what happened friday night.


So there you have it. Apparently our sweet Ainsley is feelin' the spirit. :) Oh, and it turns out the bible was right because she did get to go. :)
