This is not a problem for my own clothes, but I totally do this with the girl’s clothes!
So true.
I love this quote.
Happy Friday!

The B-I-B-L-E
Peanut does this every once in a while. She grabs a bible from the back of the pew during church and sits there “reading” it. It’s so cute!
She is very meticulous about where she reads too. She finds the exact spot that she wants.
And then moves her little finger along the words.
Love it!

Wordless Wednesday
It’s hard to see but that very exciting print dress is paired with black tights with pastel hearts, red reindeer socks, and purple Rapunzel tennis shoes. :)

AWANA
Okay, let’s see if I can get back on track…
We had our end of the year AWANA celebration a few weeks ago. It was another great year of serving and learning for our family!
Noni was SO helpful to take Peanut for me even though she isn’t technically old enough to be a Cubbie. Being a Secretary is MUCH easier without a mini-sidekick. :)
Noni always makes up cute little treats for the kids at the end of the year awards ceremony. She and Miss Sparky passed them out. All the kids LOVE Miss Sparky. She’s like a second Grandma to most of them!
Here’s Peanut getting her award. Next year she’ll be an official Cubbie although she did a pretty good job this year! She said lots of verses!
And sweet Boo! She will be our big Sparky next year! She’s had three years of Cubbies (she went early also, they’re only supposed to have two). I can’t believe how big she’s getting!
We are so blessed to have Noni as the Cubbie leader! Everyone loves her, and she always does SUCH a great job with the little ones! She is organized and efficient, and loves on each one of those little balls of energy! She keeps 15ish 3 and 4 year olds running smooth in a little room for two hours each Wednesday. I don’t know how she does it!
Our grown-up Buggy girl is going to be in TNT next year! The 3rd through 6th grade segregate so she’ll have all girls in her group next year. She did great at step-up night so I think she’ll love it!
And she earned a Sparky plaque! To earn it you have to complete the book all three years, K-2. Only she and one other boy got the award. We’re so proud of our Buggy girl! She has so learned SO many verses in order to earn this award. Love it.
I love working at AWANA but it’s always nice when it’s done for the year and we can reclaim our Wednesday evenings. We’re planning to enjoy our summer off but we’re already looking forward to next year!

Testing
Testing testing one two three!
We’re back in business! Now I just have to figure out how to use the new computer and get caught up on all my blogging. I feel all discombobulated. :P

"I larious!" - Part 8
February 19th
I walked into the dark nursery to get Peanut out of bed and tripped over a little wagon. A: "You knock it?" Me: "Yes I tripped on that since your room is a little messy." She pulls on my arm to get out of the crib and says, "It's ok! I did not break your arm!" Then she squeezes my neck really tight in a big hug. "I did not break your head!"
February 27th
Peanut points to my neck and asks, "What that called?" Me: "A mole." A: "Oh! Ok! Like a polka dot afro?!"
February 28th
The sun set and I hadn't shut the blinds yet. Peanut looked outside and pointed, "Look! The lights off! It's not morning."
March 2nd
We were at dance class (you can stay and observe once a month) watching her sister's and she looked outside and saw it was getting dark. She came over to me and put her hands on both sides of my face and looked at me intently. "You forget you need make dinner Mama?"
April 11th
I looked over at her as she was grabbing at the back of her pants. "I'm just touching my booty!" she informs me. "Why?" I asked. A: "I don't know. For no reason!"
April 21st
T and the girls had seen a hawk swooping over the backyard the night before and he made the mistake of saying it was looking for Cocoa. They were quite upset, but apparently Peanut didn't pick up on the implications because the next day she was playing and happily asked us, "How bout the Seahawk swoop down and grab Cocoa and dey go swimmin'?!"
:)
P.S. Hopefully we'll get a computer soon and I can get back to regular blogging!

And Another One Bites the Dust
Well, we got the news that our computer is terminal. Bummer. :( The Geek Squad apparently tried all sorts of things, and came to the official conclusion that "this machine needs to be replaced". :P
It seems like we are SO hard on computers! Does everyone else have to replace their computer every 2-3 years?? Because that's about how often we do. T's IT guy at work told him that is normal, but I sure wish it wasn't.
It's kind of funny, but somehow I expect things to last longer, or get better or improve. I guess that is just my soul longing for heaven, where things aren't going to start deteriorating the minute you get them. Where things WILL get better and better. It reminds me of the verses in Matthew 6:19-21 "Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys, and where thieves do not break in or steal; for where your treasure is, there your heart will be also."
So I guess I can be thankful for crashing computers and kid's clothes that get ruined with one wearing, and food that spoils before we can eat it, and frayed edges, and torn pages and the HUNDRED'S of items our little dog chews up in a week. They're all a reminder to store up my treasures in heaven, because all this stuff on Earth is just temporary. We can't take any of it with us, and I really wouldn't want to.
