Erik started a new Palm Sunday tradition for the Bangsund family. He woke up early, dressed in the dark, got in the car, and then waited in line outside a Toys R Us for five hours. At the end of his quest he arrived home with a Wii. Google it if you don't know already. He is actually pretty sure this will not be a yearly tradition. So am I.
Tonight at dinner we read Luke the story of Jesus' triumphant entry into Jerusalem. We used his Toddler Bible, an NIrV, New International "read to me" Version. It has great pictures and does a good job using vocabulary Luke understands. As you might know, the story begins with the disciples following Jesus' instructions to acquire a colt for Him to ride. Luke looked at the picture and said, "Donkey! Hee haw!" This was repeated many more times during the rest of the story. Upon finishing with hosannas, Luke requested a repeat performance of the donkey. :-) The reading will be a yearly tradition. Who knows whether the donkey will continue to be the star...probably not.
After dinner Luke finished his Palm Sunday performance by taking a header off the couch and getting his first bloody nose. Poor little guy. He was more than a little surprised and cried for about ten minutes before calming down. It's amazing, though, how God prepares us for the events in our lives. See the previous post! Both Mommy and Daddy were able to administer first aide and help Luke learn a valuable lesson (hopefully!). Let's also hope that this will not be a yearly tradition.

My mom recently waited in line early one Sunday morning to purchase a Wii (yes, my mom!). She wanted something at her house that would entice us over even more. It has worked! We love it. All the kids can play. Warning...it is quite addicitive. My brother Garett and his girlfriend played Zelda on the Wii for 12 hours straight during a "family" visit. That said, it is quite fun and hillarious to play tennis, bowling, etc. all together.
It is so cute to read your blog. Thanks for helping us, from way down in Texas, to keep in touch.
So sorry to hear about the crashing of the nose. The first is the worst and now it is out of the way and everyone came out alright. The Wii was fun and I'll be anxious to see how a whole game goes. You will have to find some way to save your tradition record. Have a good week love to you all. Mom
