david and goliath

Callan is obsessed with the story of David and Goliath.  He got a DVD from Nana and Grandpa that has bible stories on it.  He could sit and watch the 5 minute clip of David and Goliath over and over and over again if I would let him.  (Actually, as I type this, Callan is watching the video and the D & G clip just came on.  He grabbed my face and turned it towards the tv screaming, "Mommy, it's David!  Look!")

Well, the other day we went to a church to their Drive Through Bethlehem production.  We drove through the parking lot of this church and saw the Nativity story acted out.  When we arrived at the church, some of the kids who were dressed up were out by the road waving to the cars.  I pointed them out to Callan and Kinsley, saying that they were probably dressed as shepherds.  Callan's reply was, "Mommy, I can't wait to see David and Goliath!"  He was disappointed to hear that David and Goliath weren't part of the Christmas story. 

On the same DVD, there is a story of Samson.  In the video, it shows Samson playing tug-of-war to prove how strong he was.  The other day I caught Callan pulling on a piece of fabric that Kinsley had in her hand.  Kinsley started crying when Callan pulled it from her.  I asked him why he was being mean to his sister.  His reply was, "Mommy, I'm Samson!  I'm strong!"

That is my kids favorite story on that DVD, too! Cait's favorite line is "and killed him!" So funny to see them act it out together and fall back on the couch like Goliath.
