"Passionate" Playtime

Last evening, I made a suggestion to the kids to act out one of the two Bible stories I had read to them at breakfast.  The two stories were Daniel in the lion's den and the story of Jonah and the big fish.  (side note: we read them both from The Jesus Storybook Bible and I can't put enough good plugs in for this book - and no, I'm not getting paid or given anything for plugging this book - Its awesome and if you haven't checked it out, take a look, now!)

Thinking my kids would have fun acting these two stories out (since they act out every other movie/adventure we see/read) I was sure I'd have enough time to finish the dishes after supper and get some other odds and ends finished.

As they left the kitchen, I suggested doing Jonah's story first.

It didn't play out as well as it did in my mind.

But, I can say, they passionately displayed Jonah's persistence!

And that was before even acting out the story.  ;-)
