Charlotte’s Web skit

Tabby’s last day of co op.
It was a good opportunity for her to meet people this year – AND get chemistry out of the way.
She participated in a drama class and played Edith in their Charlotte’s Web skit.

MY FRIEND CAME TO SEE ME!

The delight that overcame me when I got Diane’s text the other day.
She’d be driving through Greenville and wondered if she could stop in!

REALLY?  REALLY?  YES – oh – yes please!
It was so life-giving to get to catch up.

And the fact that she brought donuts was only sweeter.  Smile

McLastMinute!

The kids enjoy an annual Shamrock Shake.  You know – that thing McDonald’s does for St. Patrick’s Day.

We are only four days late!

But it was nice enough outside to enjoy with short sleeves!

Bible Belles

We barely made it!

We were up so late last night for the concert, I decided not to wake her up. 

She woke just in time for a splash of a shower and Out The Door!

The settings was gorgeous.

They played games. 

Had a fabulous devotion.

And ate delectable treats.

WINTERJAM 2022

The girls and I visited a co op we are hoping to get in to for next year.

From there we met Daddy and Marie at home, and stop by the taco truck by our house and got food to eat while we camped outside the venue for WinterJam 2022.  It’s just a love offering of $10pp and we even got in for some priority seat selection based on our donating to the local Christian radio station.

Critter Keeper Birthday for Katriel

Some days, it feels like there is nothing new in this parenting gig.

Other days, you have amphibians in your house.

As Katriel’s birthday approached, we weren’t sure how to handle a party.  She’s been making friends both in the neighborhood and at American Heritage Girls.  As always, her friends are both boys and girls, and the age range is pretty large.  We weren’t about to do a princess theme…

What does Katriel like best? 
Frogs.

And my mind started spinning.

A web search turned up the Critter Keeper  Not only does he bring crazy creatures into the homes for facts and fun, but he is a born-again believer and He shares scripture as he shows the animals. 

I had just printed invitations and had the kids hand them out on the street, when we got an email that the AHG troop was going to do a hike that day.  Sigh.  So we only invited our neighbors and some non-AHG friends.

We laughed. We screamed. We had a blast.

I told our neighbors that we aren’t always this kind of party animals.  Winking smile
