Our Amazing Technicolor Dream Coats




I'm including three photos of the same scene here to illustrate how nearly impossible it can be to get a nice face from twin two year olds simultaneously.
The paper sacks were the boys' pre-school project from this week. How appropriate! Of course we tell Joseph and Benjamin the Bible stories about Rachel's two sons, but there was something nice about the visual of our modern-day miracles wearing a mock-up of that original coat.
It reminded me of when Matthew and I took all four of our parents to see a production of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. No, it wasn't Donny Osmond's version, but it was still impressive. Afterward my Dad commented to me how he thought the multi-colored coat might be symbolic of all the different nations that sprang forth from the patriarchs of old. Of course that fit right along with the show because if you've ever seen it, every one of the twelve sons is depicted by a different nationality.
