5 little monkeys oct 11

Brantley's favorite song/book is Five little monkey's jumping on the bed. Charlie decided that she would make monkey puppets for Brantley tonight for her homework. I usually let her choose what kind of homework she would like each night. After she decided this she said, "But Mommy I don't know how to draw a monkey." Since I am artistically challenged, I gave her to book to look at. She did such an awesome job. I am so stinking proud of her. Her monkey's are just the cutest!

October 11th

I always try for this great picture of the two kids. It never turns out the way I want it too. But I usually get some really great shots.

October 8 (I'm a little behind)

Here is Charlie's first "homework" assignment. She had the best time!
So did I.

Playdate w/ Kinidi

Kinidi is one of Charlie's friends from Pre-K. Kinidi's mom just dropped her off at the house. She doesn't know me. Or am I just a nut case who is too over protective?
We had a great play date. The girls played tea party. They had pink lemonade and apples w/ caramel. They also made fire crackers. Charlie learned the hard way that she is to ask her friend if she would like to do something instead of telling her. We had a great time. I got very sad listening to my sweet little girl giggle.

treasure hunting and steps of faith

Today we went geocashing. Super fun especially when we don't have a GPS. It makes it a little harder but a lot of fun. We have the best time putting things in the bag! This is Dusty's new thing and we are having a blast. Now Charlie and I have a job. We need to stamp a bunch and mode podge them so that they can be our "treasures" to leave in the "box."

I also am working on my "devotion" for my Ruth bible study. I am always amazed at what God shows me and yet when I am asked to do this I panic. What if I don't get it right? How can it be wrong if it is what God has showed me? And still my insecurities shine. What if I say the wrong thing and someone thinks I am stupid?

Here's to a leap. What do I go and do...I apply for a year long "design team" place with Faith Sisters. It would be to complete their Life stories challenge for this year. I don't know if I am their style but I put in my application. How crazy is that? I have no idea when I will hear anything. We'll see. If so, it is just one more thing that God has gone before me and taken care of .

So out of it

I decided that before I go to bed tonight I am going to

1. fold and put away laundry

2. clean off the flat surfaces (tables and such)

3. download pictures

4. begin my assignment for bible study

So I pulled the laundry out (5 loads that Dusty washed on Friday), began cleaning off three tables, and put the sim card in to begin the download (369 photos). Now I know that I am out of it. There is no way I will be able to get that many photos edited and saved to disk before bed tonight. I guess this is proof that I have been really off since this summer. Alright God, what do you have in store for me?

My LIfe Story

I am going to try to complete this year long challenge at faith sisters. Come join me in the fun.
