Signs that your child is playing too many video games...

We recently had some friends over for dinner and Aaron was asked to offer the prayer. He's usually very willing and this time was no exception. He started off strong and then in the middle he faltered with "and please let us not...(long pause)...be in any mortal peril." Okay! At least he's learning some good vocab words in those video games. That's my consolation.

(In this photo, Josh and Aaron decided they needed a special breakfast for a snow day off school. I've recently been trying to teach them various kitchen skills and was more than happy to turn over (ha) the pancake flipping to them. That brown blob is summer sausage. In the winter.)
