Well, I know you are waiting with bated breath to know what happened yesterday while TV shopping...but you are going to have to wait. I have a much more exciting story to tell first.
Yesterday, as we were headed out into the rain to find our new "black hole"(just kidding sweetie). We came upon a car that was stalled half way in the street and half way in the drive of a shopping center. We passed it, but Rock found another turn in and pulled up to help the person push their car out of the street. The driver was a lady, dressed to the nines for a meeting. Rock tried to push her up the drive, but it was raining and he was wearing dress shoes. He found a strap in the back our our Suburban and was able to tow the car onto a level surface before it broke, then he was able to push her into the parking lot where she could safely wait for the tow truck. Now, this is a good story in and of itself, but the really neat part of it was happening in the Suburban where we were staying dry.
The kids asked me what Daddy was doing, and I told them he was helping the lady in the car because her car was broken down. Professor asked me why. I reminded him about the story of the Good Samaritan, and while this lady was not in a life and death situation she still needed our help. Daddy was helping because it was the right thing to do. We watched as many cars went around Rock in the street, as even more cars passed on the other side leaving the drive, as perfectly capable people (even men dressed to be in the rain) went in and out of the stores right there by the drive, and no one helped the one person trying to help another person in a pouring rain.
The kids were extremely impressed with their Daddy... "Wow! Daddy can push a car?!" "Daddy is doing what Jesus would want him to do."... And we got to talk about how we are to help people even when it isn't convenient, fun, or easy. What a terrific example of Christian behavior Rock was to his babies.
Now to leave the wonderful and go on to the simply material.
Yes folks, that is 47" of TV. We got a great deal, and of course Rock is thrilled with it. As far as the Wii goes, well that is another post.

Wow! I know it's on a stand but it's taller than Princess!
I'll be joining you in the "large tv land" in a few months. During the wait I'll try to find to still keep my living room homey.
Whoo whoo Rock she fell for it. Now we can watch movies and play games in High Def. J/K
Shelly everything is taller than princess she's like 2 feet tall.
So with the new clear play and uber screen are you going to start posting showtimes of the movies? I'll bring the popcorn.
There's a poem. . .
I think it's called "The little chap that follows me". . .oh just a sec. . .yep, that's what it's called.
(Having 4 boys, you find poems such as this.)
You should look it up. . .not that the Rock needs a reminder. . .
