Herod’s death
The famous monkey face
Tonight I was telling the story of Jesus’ birth and when He had to flee to the land of Egypt because Herod killed all the boys His age in Bethlehem. I had told the girls this story last night as well, and afterwards whenever I’d ask Meredith where she wanted to go, she’d say “land Egypt.”
I told Lauren and Meredith how Mary and Joseph and Jesus stayed in Egypt until Herod died, and then they returned to Israel.
Lauren asked me how Herod died. I told her I wasn’t sure (was he the ones eaten by worms or something?!) She said “I think his chair broke, and then he got eaten by a dragon, and then he died.”
Maybe we need to read more of the Bible, and watch less of Shrek!!

TOO funny!
that’s hillarious, rinnie. i’m busting up laughing. i love your girls so much.
Hmmm….Maybe spending too much time with her cousin lately?
Hillarious, though. I just love those kids.
That is histarical. Rin I read this while sitting in the Library “working on a paper” and I just busted out laughing. I think people probobly think that I am crazy. oh well, that is so funny. I miss those girls.. and you.. I need to come down soon. Or you can come up here… maybe for a soccer game or two:)
I think her sadistic cousin is finally getting to her. Be strong, Lauren! Don’t give into the dark side!
That’s great! The infatuation with death seems to be a thing with 4 year olds.
ROFL! Gotta love that girl!
If you dont, may you fall out of your chair and… you know the rest.
