Camp GonnaWannaFly--Day 2

For those of you who are wondering, we got a little off track today (had to spend an hour or so running an impromptu errand that I couldn't delay any longer--darn!), so we only did about 45 minutes of "fun" cleaning. We played the flylady version of "Freeze Dance." You put music on, and one person sweeps while the other person dusts, and when the person in charge of music pushes pause, the people doing the chore have to freeze. It was SO funny playing with Carlos. He took it very seriously. When he stopped the music, even though he could see that Ashley and I were frozen, he would come right up to our faces and take a very close look. The first time he did it, he peered intently at my face, and after a few moments, pointed his finger at me and said, "Oooh, you're breathing!" I totally lost it and just started cracking up. He took it seriously every time it was his turn. Then, just to mock him (I know, not a nice mommy), Ashley and I would do the same when it was our turn. But he had no clue that we were mocking him, so that makes it okay, right???? (someone say yes!)

Tomorrow Ashley is off to the beach with the Youth Group for the day. I can't understand why she would prefer to spend the day with her peers at the beach rather than having a blast with Carlos and me here at home, but it seems she has made her choice (SO kidding, lol!). So Carlos and I will have Camp by ourselves. It will be a quiet day ... until 4:30 when we pick her up!

YES. you said to say yes. It is ok to poke fun at your kids. I told Christy (christineplatt.typepad.com) that it is a mother's right to do so after giving birth to them. Fair Game!

Things that make me smile and sometimes laugh: my family Starbucks with friends reading blogs :) parking the car in the driveway of our "new" house, lol! Oh, I guess I've forgotten to take a picture to show, huh? bantering with Ashley (the good kind of bantering--not the kind that gives me gray hairs!) My Missionettes girls (I think we've already been over the fact that even though they all have parents, they're still "my" girls!) breakfast with friends (Hi, Teena!) my new XTi :) Photoshop Elements (one of my best friends 'cause it makes me look like I take good pictures, lol!) scrapbooking (digital and regular) Crock Pot dinners (If I wasn't a Christian I would worship the person(s) who invented it) women friends in general the words Carlos mispronounces (washmouth instead of mouthwash, it's "between the rules" instead of "against the rules," and "overfloat" instead of overflow) I, of course encourag...

Nehemiah: Sheep Gate (Symbolism)

hubpages.com http://www.prayfordetroit.com/ As I mentioned in my Nehemiah  post, God has nudged me this summer to study Nehemiah in depth because He has some things He wants to show me.  I am just starting Chapter 5, and I must say it is so exciting and interesting. I have to admit, though, that when I got to Chapter 3, it just looked like one of those boring chapters: it gave all the boring details about each section of the wall of Jerusalem that was being rebuilt, and gave countless names of the people who rebuilt each section.  I was going to skip it and move on to Chapter 4 when I felt the Lord nudge me to look deeper--that there was something here that He wanted to show me.   So I dutifully sought the Lord (and a research book, and the internet!) , and was ASTOUNDED at the incredible layers of symbolism in the names of the gates!  It has turned out to be my favorite chapter so far.  :)  God is incredibly amazing, huh?   The big pi...

Random "me" stuff

Update about the jail visit :  We were not able to go this weekend because communicating with an inmate is a little bit complicated, so we were not able to set up a time.  I am praying that it works out this week.  My friend will get back to me.  Also, I found out that I cannot bring him anything.  If I want him to have a One-Year Bible, I have to order it online and have it sent directly to him at the jail.  I will be in prayer about that as well. Today, I'm keeping it very light.  I have had A LOT of time to myself this summer, so I wanted to show you how I've been spending my time: a LOT of getting my classroom ready! My favorite part is the back wall (ready for student work!), so I thought I'd show you that today. the back of my classroom! We will have a "Fruit of the Spirit" Tree in which the kids will each have a paper apple with their name on it.  When they see a classmate demonstrating one of the fruits of the Spirit, they w...
