tuesday 2x2

1. Last night for family night- we had a lesson on following Christ.

After a story, sample situations, and discussion we wrote on foot prints -different ways we can follow Christ. All six footprints are hanging around the house.

I like it.

It's a good reminder to me of how I want to be.

this pink footprint is mine. It says on the bottom, "give hugs not zerberts." Zerberts, are when you blow on someone's cheek. On Sunday I was really, really missing Charlie. I decided to give all my kids kisses & zerberts as if they were still babies... they told me during our family night discussion that it was creepy & wrong & that they don't want me kissing them all over their faces or blowing on their cheeks again.

I guess I will have to stick to regular hugs & kisses.

jerks.

Sometimes family nights are so frustrating.

Good family nights are so rewarding.

2. Yesterday a package came in the mail to me & the Webelos.

It was all I could do not to open it!

It was from a webelo scout who moved a little more than a month ago. We have been writing to him & sending packages. He sent us these treats from a local candy store near his new town in Pennsylvania. They are the best suckers ever! We really miss him in our den & neighborhood.

3. Today was a beautiful, yet chilly 51 degree day.

Chloe - the most girly girl ever- was up in a tree in the backyard.

She is very well rounded in her interests & I love that!

4. We have had some unfortunate experience with a couple of neighbor kids helping themselves to the popsicles in the freezer that is in our garage.

Last week I opened it up to get something out & found this

"thou shalt not steal"

haha- Chloe took matters into her own hands.

problem solved
