Toe Party

Today was the first toe party. We had 10 moms, including myself, and a total of 12 kids, 4, 3, and 10 under 17months. I did 6 ladies feet in 3 hours. There are two additional pictures, one from the weekend and the other from Monday night. Here are the results:

Do you like this toe design?




Thanks Carla for letting me take a picture of your fun toes.

Watermelon!

Monday and Tuesday nights are fun for Kirsten and I. Jason works late on those two nights and when Justin is away, we get together for the afternoon and supper. Monday night we were at Kirsten's house. The girls played on Madalyn's new swingset, they played in the pool and sprinkler, we ate supper, had no bake cookies for dessert and then outside for watermelon. The donkey came to the back fence and the girls fed him. It's funny to me that all the girls want the donkey to come and they want to feed it, but when it does come it takes them awhile to get used to it being so close. It was a fun evening. Thanks for the meal, the fun and the company, Kirsten. I am glad we are friends :).

Our 3 year old ditched Bible class

This should have been written last Wednesday night....but, here's the story.

Jones, Georgia and Emma(4, 3 and almost 5) walked with me to the stairs by Annie's class. I left them at the stairs and they were to go on up to class. I took Annie to class and then I went to my class. I usually go and check to make sure they made it, but last Wednesday, for some reason, I didn't. After class, Scott met me at the their classroom door holding Georgia. And here's what happened during class:

Jones went into class by herself. Scott asked where Georgia was and she replied she was coming. Awhile after class started Georgia was still not there. Emma was not in class, but her older sister was in class too. Jenna(the high school class helper) was sent out to find the two girls. She found them. They were safe.

They were in the Coffee Spot!

Georgia was escorted to class tonight and I checked on her before I went to class.

Is this a glimpse into our future?

People Are Crazy

Turn your speakers up. This is my current favorite song. Reminds me of my friends, my Uncle Frankie, my father-in-law, Willie and Julio's "To All The Girls I've Loved Before", and fuels my dream of retiring to Mexico.


Let brotherly love continue. Do not forget to entertain strangers, for by so doing some have unwittingly entertained angels. Hebrews 13:1-2

MHR

Justin was a blessing to me this week on Tuesday. Our mom meet up group was having a mom's night out and I had been good about saying no to going for two reasons. 1. My husband was home and 2. We are on a new budget. But when Kirsten was on her way over for us to watch Madalyn so she could go, my heart was racing and I wanted to go. Justin was gracious and loving and supportive. He gave me money to go and he watched all four girls by himself. Thank you so very much for that precious hour and a half. I love you!
PS. It looks like the weather will be cooler this week. Do you want to go fishing? :)

Bears, Dorothy and Toes

Georgia's quote: "Did you know that bears have bear(bare) bottoms."

Jones went to WalMart today dressed as Dorothy carrying Toto in a purse. I did warn her that people were going to talk to her and call her Dorothy. And they did. She handled it very well.


The girls are so excited that I am painting toe nails. They want theirs done all the time. Today, I was working on Kirsten's toes and I got up for a cup of water. Annie got in my chair and put the towel on her lap, patted the towel for Kirsten to put her foot up, and (with a clean brush)started painting her toes. She was very serious about the job.






Here are a few more that I have done:
