Fun and headaches
|
Bible quizzing went terrific. Bailey and Lauren's teams both took 1st places and our church took first overall. Awana Bible Quizzing is a great way to plant scripture in a child's heart and mind. I am amazed at what the kids memorize and then are able to recall in everyday situations. Twelve churches participated and everyone had a good day. Valentine's Day cooking went well. All the kids helped super and the meal was well received. Instead of buffet style like we usually do on Wednesday, the kids served the adults on china. The adults only had good things to say about the teens. My pray is that the kids learn a little more about a servant's heart. Last Sunday evening someone smashed the window on my excursion and stole my purse while I was at church. It bothers me because they probably watched me. I had quite a few bags and a pre-schooler to get in to church so I stashed my black bag under the middle seat. It wasn't visable - especially through my darkened windows. It is such a headache to remember everything in it and to report everything and fill out all the reports. We had to get the window fixed - we keep finding glass in the truck. It has seemed like a very long week. Jenn and Will's dog had puppies this week - we got there in time to watch some being born - Gerrit was amazed by the birth. Good experience. I think treating birth and death as normal events ordained by God is so important for children to see. Basketball was fun today. We have next week off from bball and then there is only a coulp of weeks left. Soccer will start almost as basketball ends. The physical activity is good for the crew but I do get tired of running for practices and games. I like to stay home. I can't wear my apron at the soccer field! Which reminds me - I got a fun new cook book - Foods to Live By. It's the Earthbound organic cook book. I am really loving this one. It uses some foods that we don't use (pork mainly) but overall is really good. Beth went to a fun Valentine Party today. You were to come as a character from a book and bring valentines to match the character. Her friend was Queen Esther and did cute valentines with a quote from Esther. Beth was Christopher Robin and had valentines with a quote from Winnie the Pooh. If there ever comes a day when we can't be together keep me in your heart, I'll stay there forever.- Winnie the Pooh They were cute cards with a little red heart and wrapped in a red wrap tied with a bow. I'd like to think the week will be quieter but I am dreaming - we have alot of work to do this week - the joy of family business. |
