No milk today

Officially, this is the last day of the Christmas season. Consequently, the crib in the church has to come down. Our parish priest obviously didn't have time, because he has merely removed all the people, shoved it over to one side and put a notice on it which reads:

No milk today.
Gone to Egypt.


I was telling the kids about it when I got home. The Fixer looked thoughtful for a moment, then said in an incredulous voice:

'Mary and Joseph had milk delivered?'

Sometimes, I wonder.

That's funny! Five daughters?!? How cool is that? Of course, being the mom of four sons I live in a whole different universe. And I take it one of your daughters plays soccer (football)? We are a big soccer family too! My oldest son got a Beckham jersey for Christmas!

Thanks for stopping by my site and commenting!

Hi there,

I ran into you over at Lisa Writes. How are you?

Just wanted to say, I love how you've captured your children's personalities down the side of your blog.

What you mean they didn't have milk delivered? What did they put on their cereal? ;)
(actually I probably would have said something similar, I only just realised yesterday that 'Larkrise to Candleford was two seperate places and not actually anything to do with a bird at all.

P.S. Your blog is keeping me grounded. Right now, that's quite an achievement.
