Summer Play Date

Well,as you may know, if you have ever been to Arizona in the sumer; We moms calibrate ( started out a typo but I think it fits ) the creative art of indoor play! What you say 5 kids inside or 3 hours!!!!!!!!!!! Well We managed famously. We had foot wrestling on the rug and sofa.

We shared a wonderful lunch my guest shared a feast of ham or chicken salad sandwiches and low calorie apple juice. We amended it with watermelon and of course macaroons. I felt very grateful to not need to prepare any extra food today. I have been a cooking' lately and just am sorta tired for now of it. Though I do need to make a simple supper for the troupe tonight. I had my chicken salad on a bed of lettuce and tomatoes what a treat.
Each contestant pressed into force all the strength they could muster.
After free flay and a time for us Moms to chat a little. The kids busied them selfs with the heat set beads. Dash is still making things for Dove. My shy Lady guest sure has beautiful hair doesn't she.
Now With a Sponge Bob video, they were dancing in the living room, all five! Full of pure joy! I got caught taking this picture by a very sweet little boy with good manners.
Well the play date came to an end and the children were worn and tired. Of course we Moms were not tired not one one bit (sigh, coy smile here).
I think I'll go back to the blog about grinding here. Coffee that is, I am sleepy. Or maybe, I should ,"take a nap!"
I might just slip out for a girls night out. I have a big day tomorrow with Dash Hawks Scope and all. He said he does not mind if I do. I wont stay out too late. It will be nice to see a girlfriend of mine all alone, no kids!!!!!!!! Radical. Post script DIDN'T HAPPEN< Stayed home and rested with my new beading magazine instead.
It was a lovely play date all the children are wonderful little individuals with personalities that range a broad spectrum. What a nice day.

what a wonderful day!! We too live in Arizona and I know what you mean about having to play inside!! Now that the monsoons are here, it's too wet to play outside!!

Thanks for coming to visit me today and for your kind words.

It was a very good day! LOL!Josh looks like he got surprised by the camera. He likes to dance and sing, but he doesn't want to get caught doing it!!
I told my husband about the watermelon, and he said he would have done the same thing!
The kids and I really enjoyed our visit. Thank you so much for your friendship and your hospitality.
They did have fun with their foot Wars.LOL!

Older women likewise teach the younger women...

• how to love their husbands
• how to love their children
• how to be self-controlled
• how to be pure
• how to be keepers at home
• how to be kind and submissive (not subservient) to their own husbands. (See Titus 2:3-5)

'A woman's heart should be so hidden in Christ
That a man should have to seek Him first to find her.'

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not shouting 'I'm clean living,'
I'm whispering 'I was lost, Now I'm found and forgiven.'

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I don't speak of this with pride.
I'm confessing that I stumble and need Christ to be my guide.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not trying to be strong.
I'm professing that I'm weak and need His strength to carry on.

When I say.. 'I am a Christian' I'm not bragging of success.
I'm admitting I have failed and need God to clean my mess.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not claiming to be perfect,
My flaws are far too visible, but God believes I am worth it.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I still feel the sting of pain...
I have my share of heartaches, so I call upon His name.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not holier than thou,
I'm just a simple sinner Who received God's good grace, somehow!

Words have power. Here are a few of my favorite sayings.

  • A warm cup of tea is like a cuddle with a friend.
  • The North American Indians have a more eloquent word for ‘friend’ than we do in English. In their language, the word for friend literally means, “the one who carries my sorrows on his back.”
  • Return with Honor
  • The sage anticipates things that are difficult while they are easy, and does things that would become great while they are small. All difficult things in the world are sure to arise from a previous state in which they were easy, and all great things from one in which they were small. Therefore the sage, while he never does what is great, is able on that account to accomplish the greatest things."
  • "HOME IS WHERE YOUR STORY BEGINS"
  • “Live so that when your children hear these words they think of you… Fairness Caring Integrity Honesty Love Trust.”
  • "O Lord help my words to be gracious and tender today, for tomarrow I may have to eat them."
  • "No man has ever been shot while doing the dishes"
