lessons to learn

The parents made a weekend escape. I don't blame them...I'd do it too on occasion and it leaves for good practice for the aunt. It started out with only the above little Miss Ellie.

We played lots of horse. I was yawning most of the time. lol

Hearing them before seeing them...the rest were home from school a few hours later.
As you can see these horses are a hit. Somewhere in my childhood I missed that stage I believe.

Nick was climbing the tree. Caleb this picture is for you!

Isaac wanted one for Micah as well!

 They're all pretty old so I thought I would reason them into sleeping in on Saturday. Sigh...6 a.m. came early. I learned it is possible to sleep under the covers...that is until the door is banged on with "I'm hungry."
Yeah...I have a lot to learn.
The game of the weekend bright and early Saturday. Breakfast was no sooner over and I heard "I'm bored." This my dear little ones is why you sleep in when you can! They said it isn't a school day so they want to get up and play. WELL THEN PLAY!
Nick had started this puzzle on Friday night with grandma and was begging to go and finish it. We spent the afternoon there.
out for ice ice cream after they were all bathed.

Lauren and Nick and their cookies and cream...well they all got that come to think of it.

The parents joined as well

These pictures are for my co-baby-sitter that left me. They wanted to send them to you!

Quite the entertainer I am

...and life continues to sort and pack and get rid of.

When I Grow Up

Image
My kids love to sing. Right now for some reason they keep picking the song "When I Grow Up." The chorus goes: "When I grow up I wanna be just like you, so don't disappoint me I can see what you do. If you follow Jesus I will follow him too, so don't disappoint me, I can see what you do." Don't forbid little children to come unto Him For such is the kingdom of God, Always set an example that points out the way And do what the Lord has to say. Don't forget little children become big folks some day For what you see becomes what you do. If you walk with Jesus, I'll walk with Him too. So don't forget, I'm close behind you. I really like the song but when it's time for the chorus it gets me every time. Maybe it is those 12 hands and 60 fingers that are pointing my way. Today I pointed back at them and they had a few words to say as soon as the song finish! "Miss....WE ARE FOLLOWING YOU! You can't foll...

February

..here it is. It's hot, dry, and breezy. The month is almost halfway gone already. sigh. It's hard to believe it's been one whole year already that I've been married to this wonderful man. He truly is so extremely good for me. Marriage is a wonderful thing. It's good to have the first year behind us though. We look forward to many more! February 7 is Independence Day. The churches had a picnic and cooked the national dish. Kyla...or little Cindy as I call her. oil down...it was deliciously made by Sammy. A few wore their Independence colors!  Sailing festival was also held the other weekend on the beach. I was wishing so badly I had remembered my camera but alas phone pictures had to work! Sports Day is coming up for most schools. I went to Wesley College Sports day on Wednesday. It was good to see how secondary schools do it! I went in support of Alana's son Joshim. He didn't disapp...

of police and goodbyes

Image
It was the night before some people departed the states to the wonderful Isle of Spice. Who wouldn't stay out late? Well...I would..and I did. The regrets came in the morning with only 2 hours of sleep and off to work at an unearthly hour. I work when I can...even if it is only a few hours. I felt like I had to keep redoing things...my brain was malfunctioning. Coffee was needed but I didn't want to be the reason for potty breaks on the way to the airport...thus I refrained. I left work in my own little world oblivious to a police officer sitting nearby. I believe he was sleeping as well..much to my benefit. With suitcases packed on that Ford truck we began to "RUN IT"...traffic moves well most days. I try to keep with traffic. They can usually break radar for you. The SUV lost me when it got to about 25 over the speed limit. It was a good thing! There was enough of a gap between us that officer had his nose out in traffic as I tried to quickly change lanes. Sorry fo...
