My God is So Big

Mena's choir sang "My God is so Big."  She did a great job on the actions!

Jake Spends the Night

 

 

 

Peg went with Jon for his show in Brownville and I kept Jake overnight.  The kids had a lot of fun playing while I made supper.  Then they played some more and when I was ready for them to calm down, I gave them popcorn and a movie.  All three kids slept in the girls' room.  I put Jake on one of my camping cots and he brought his sleeping bag.  They really went down well.  I remember turning my lights out at 10 pm and they were all asleep.

The next morning I got them all up for church since Mena was singing.  I really think that going from 1 kid to 2 kids was a big adjustment.  Going from 2 kids to 3 kids was no big deal.  Especially since none of them are babies.  Everything went smoothly and we were to church early!

After church Peg and Jon came for lunch and I got to use my table for company again!  It worked so well and I really enjoy having friends and family over!

Haley Sleeps Over

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

My friend Karen was going to Mother of All Garage Sales on Saturday and I was going to babysit Haley for her.  Friday night we went out to their house so my girls could see the baby chicks they just got on their farm.  When we came home, Haley decided to come with us.  Haley talked the entire way home even though we thought for sure they'd fall asleep so we put everyone in their jammies before we left their house.  Then when I got all the girls in bed, Maggie wouldn't stop talking!

The next morning the girls played so well that I was able to reorganize some of my stuff into plastic totes to go in my outdoor closet.  The girls took pictures of each other.  Then when Karen was done shopping we went to Chuck E. Cheese for lunch since Mena had earned her trip to Chuck E. Cheese for going to bed nicely 14 nights.  The going to bed nicely hasn't been very consistent but we're working on it.
