THE EASTER STORY THROUGH THE EYES OF 3 YEAR OLD SWEETCHEEKS

 

I posted this a few years ago at
Easter 

but it just
so touching to me
to see what this
little 3 year old girl
UNDERSTOOD
about Easter.

And it almost makes
me cry listening to
her earnest explanation.
If you have a moment
it is worth the listen.

SweetCheeks

opted to ride

to brunch
with Nana and Papa.

We asked her what

she had learned

about Easter

at church

this morning...

 I do think she

might have mixed

a little bit of

Gulliver's Travels

into the the

Jesus story!;>)

She almost started
crying when she
thought Jesus might
have felt pain.

Here it is-

Listen up and see what

YOU think!

Make sure you turn your volume up~

Amen, SweetCheeks, Amen!

From me to you-
A Blessed Easter

THE EASTER STORY TOLD BY A THREE YEAR OLD-IT MIGHT BRING A TEAR TO YOUR EYE~

 SweetCheeks was 3-1/2 years old

when she shared her beliefs

with Papa and me.

She is THIRTEEN now.

We were driving her to brunch

after church and asked her

what she had learned

about 

The Easter Story.

It was so touching to me

to see what this
little girl
UNDERSTOOD
about Easter.
And it almost makes
me cry listening to
her earnest explanation.

If you have a moment
it is worth the listen.

Just so you know~

I do think she

might have mixed

a little bit of

Gulliver's Travels

into the the

Jesus story!;>)

MAKE SURE YOU HAVE

YOUR VOLUME TURNED UP.

She almost started
crying when she
thought Jesus might
have felt pain.

Here it is-

Listen up and see what

YOU think!
If you click on the little square
on the bottom right hand side
it will go full screen.
(I'm sure most of you know that)

Amen, SweetCheeks, Amen!

From me to you-
A Blessed Easter
For those that don't have
time to listen....

For my wonderful, engaging blogging friends

that are not of the 

Christian faith-

I love you all just as dearly 

as I love everyone else.

EVERYONE MATTERS

and I hope you have a 

Wonderful Sunday!!!

SWEET CHEEKS IS A STAR-ON STAGE (AND OFF)

Have you heard about

The Best Christmas Pageant Ever?

This is kind of a long post for me

because I included a brief synopsis of the play.

Quit your whining and grab your coffee...m'kay?

If you don't know the book-

Here is a synopsis:

The Herdmans are the worst kids in the history of the world. 

They lie, steal, smoke cigars, swear, and hit little kids. 

So no one is prepared when this outlaw family 

invades church one Sunday 

and decides to take over the annual Christmas pageant.

None of the Herdmans has ever heard the Christmas story before. 

Their interpretation of the tale — 

the Wise Men are a bunch of dirty spies and Herod needs a good beating — 

has a lot of people up in arms. 

But it will make this year's pageant the most unusual anyone has seen 

and, just possibly, the best one ever.

Our Lulu went to the local theater group

to try out for the play...open from

ages EIGHT and up.

She is 11.

She read and got a part.

SweetCheeks age SIX

is sitting off to one side.

The director looks her over and asks if

she wants to try out.

She shyly nods her head yes.

Director doesn't hold out much hope

because she is very soft-spoken

AND only SIX.

She tells SweetCheeks to 

"imagine that you are getting ready for

school and can't find your backpack-

ONLY you are an ANGEL

and you can't

find your HALO.

Got it?"

SweetCheeks quietly nods yes-

she understands.

Director says Okay...

let me know when you are ready.

SweetCheeks goes up on stage

quietly bows her head

and closes her eyes.

(director is regretting asking her

because she seems so shy)

She looks up and says- 

OK- I'm ready now.

Here is her interpretation of the line.

This is less than 20 seconds long...

please excuse our "hair do".....

 After a couple of play practices

Sweet Cheeks also wrote her

OWN LINE and asked if it could be added.

"OOOOOH- Alice is MAAAAD"

The director added it.

Last week she told me she was going to add

ONE MORE LINE.

She did!

She now closes the play with

"Peace On Earth Good Will Towards Men"

Now why doesn't that surprise me?

Next year she will be sitting in the

director's chair!

THE GIGGLE HEADS

No time for a long post.

The Giggle Heads Are Here.

I hope there aren't any 

drool marks on my newly washed floor!

The Papa Poopy Pants Song by Sweet Cheeks

SweetCheeks

loves to make up songs.

Her sister, Ria, plays

the guitar

(she can't really play)

and SweetCheeks makes

up words to match the 

voice of the guitar.

This little clip is about

12 seconds long

and gives you a glance at

Miss Personality Plus.

Enjoy~

I can't help but laugh-

did you notice at the very end

she threw ME under the bus?

hmffffff.....like I would

EVER do THAT!

The First Laugh Of The Day

Is there anything

more like music

to the ears

than the laughter of

a child?

Smiles guaranteed-

This is only 

FOUR SECONDS long.

It puts a smile in my heart

& I hope it puts one

in yours!

We are still traveling and I
hope to catch up with
everyone soon!

The Crush And Kissing - A SweetCheeks Video

I love the conversations

that happen on warm

summer days on

the front porch swing.

This is 30 seconds long

and I think it will 

put a smile on your face.

So.....

How old were YOU when you

kissed your first boy?

The truth- the whole truth please~ 

ps...notice how she looks away

at the end?

I don't think her Daddy said 

that at all!

Sweet Cheeks Favorite Treat

This little video is

exactly 45 seconds long.

Now...the truth is

this little video could

have been 4 seconds long.

Why?

Well, 

THE QUESTION

was...

WHAT is YOUR

favorite treat?

Watch how she turns

this question into a

whole movie.

The one word that 

you might not be able

to figure out is

WAITRESS

but I AM sure you will

get 

ButterCream frosting

with sprinkles!

And you wonder why

it takes so long to

get her ready for anything?

uh-huh

I think the Easter Bunny

will fall asleep trying

to figure out what to 

put in her basket

if he asks her what 

she wants.

Princesses And Cupcakes And Stories- OH MY-

SweetCheeks & Company

picked the winner 

of the giveaway

yesterday.

She had a little friend,

Miss S, over for

a play date.

She got all dressed

for the occasion, too!

Aren't they cute together?

They are both in 4 year old pre-school.

Lest you think 

SweetCheeks works for free

she drives a hard bargain.

She does NOT work for 

peanuts.

No, indeedy!

She works for 

CUPCAKES!

Now these might not be the

prettiest cupcakes you ever saw..

but they do taste good..

or so I am told.

2 of them were gobbled down,
on the front porch,

immediately after the

Giveaway Session
filming

 by 

SOMEONE .

Did SHE eat them?

No! She says SHE
didn't eat them...or did she?

Here is the 

"story"
(only a 35 second clip here)

Daddy is an even bigger

sucker than I am...

and THAT is saying

something!

Princess SweetCheeks Picks A BLOVE Winner!

Okay-

It's a mystery here today.

You HAVE to watch

this little video clip

80 entries.

If  SweetCheeks

 doesn't say 

YOUR NAME

just let me know that 

YOU WERE HERE...

know a GIRL won.

SPLASH in her name.

Confused yet?

SweetCheeks Blog - Video

She seems pretty excited about it.

10 seconds long.

The last

SASSY WORD

for your listening pleasure

is

BRAT HEAD.

Remind me to

beat her next

time she pops over.

Star Of The Week-SweetCheeks Video

SweetCheeks
(aka Edith Ann)
 is blessed
to go to a school that
has a pre-school
that uplifts and honors
the kids that attend.

The classes are not huge
so EACH child in
her class gets a chance
to be
STAR OF THE WEEK
one week during the
school year.

Last week it was
SweetCheeks turn to
take center stage.

Here she is reporting
on
HER WEEK.

Ummm...I think she got a little
confused about the
TREATS!

Not all schools do this..
so I think it is important that
every child thinks they are
A STAR
in someone's eyes.
How about you?
Have your made your child,
or grandchild,
feel like they were
YOUR
Star Of The Week?
DO IT!
It'll make God smile.

Shake It Up, Baby-Twist And Shout Ouch-Sweet Cheeks Video

I picked the

Dancing Queen up at school

and brought her to my house.

I picked her up early

 because there is a snow storm

underway here.

She came in looking like this.

Daddy picked her coat out

AND

her hat.

Pretty cute, huh?

Well, lest you wonder

how I spent

MY AFTERNOON

I am being instructed

on how to

Shake My Booty.

Don't try these moves

at home

unless you are

UNDER 60..

cuz you just never know
if you can get back up

once you

GET DOWN.

Got it?

Tomorrow

we will show you how to do

The Bump.

Anyone remember

the 1970's?

Anyone?

Anyone?

Hmmm...if

MyHero can squeeze into

his baby blue leisure suit

I'll see if he will give us a

recap of that dance.....

or...

maybe not~

The Scoop On Poop-Sweet Cheeks Video

What in the world is it

that makes all kids

fascinated with

the changing of a diaper?

SweetCheeks is

especially fond of watching

CharlesInCharge

get a poopy diaper

changed.

My family wonders who in

their right mind would do

a post about a

POOPY DIAPER.

I tell them to mind

their own crappy business...

I say it in dulcet tones

cuz I am nice like that.

So....

Here, for your viewing

enjoyment, is a very

short clip of

a diaper change....

Monologue by

SweetCheeks..

who else~

Now-Who would like a 

HOT DOG?

 Grey Poupon Anyone?

Anyone?

anyone?

This will give you a BELLY LAUGH- I Promise

Now I know that

all of you find that I  am
SO SERIOUS

about everything

that I can hardly find a

moment's pleasure

in the little things

in life.

Uh-huh...

That's me...

I'm about as serious

as a...as a...as a... 

cat rolling in catnip.

Anyway,

Lest you think things get

boring around our house,

I am here to show you

SweetCheeks

Amazing Whistling

Belly!

I dare you to watch this

and

NOT LAUGH!



What Happens At The WaterPark STAYS At The Waterpark-SweetCheeks Video

Well, being as I "found"

my camera late today,

should I tell you

it was in my son's car...

What?

You didn't notice that the little

camera bag that was next to

you on the seat wasn't yours and,

consequentially MUST belong to

your Mom?

Anyway...no chance to take

any pictures tonight..

so..for all of you that have

asked

(yes! There are a few of you

that are THAT crazy)

to see more SweetCheeks' videos

this ought to make you smile...

or do a sharp intake of breath...

your choice.

Just before Christmas

my two sons-in-laws

took Lulu, Ria, SweetCheeks

and BigBoy E to the

waterpark for a quick

overnighter.

SweetCheeks had her own

little

"scary story"

to tell me when she got home.

As you will hear, though,

Dad saved the day!

Does ANYONE remember

Lily Tomlin's character,

Edith Ann, on Laugh In?

I ALWAYS think of her

when I tape SweetCheeks.

SweetCheeks Sings The First Noel

As most of you know

SweetCheeks is

ALWAYS singing..

Here is

HER RENDITION

of

The First Noel.

Notice how nicely

she says

Merry Christmas

at the end.

Okay- gather round~

Buck up-

30 seconds and you're

out of here.

I promise~

I hope you are all having

a wonderful day

with your families.

I hope that there is joy and light

in your day and that any

sadness you feel will be

wiped away by the

deep joy that comes

from loving the

Lord and rejoicing

in the birth of

Jesus.

Christmas blessings to

all of you-

from

SweetCheeks and Company

The Amazing Sleeping Dancing Baby~SweetCheeks Video

Yes, it's true.

I am easily amused.

And we have

LOTS of ongoing

things to amuse me

happening all the time.

Now I'm not saying we

have the proverbial

DANCING BEAR

in our family

BUT-

I'm betting

THIS

will put a smile on your

face in less than 20 seconds.

Maybe my daughter

should have been a

puppeteer?
