On our way home from adventures in garage sales wearing my 25 cent goggles. Finds of the day include free aprons diagramming the anatomy of a frog, a garbage bag full of brand new Tupperware for 50 cents, and a vintage panini press for a buck. My mom got a "Greatest Grandmother Medal" but we never found "a chest to pin it on"!
Amazing fun times at the annual Connections church picnic. I get all nostalgic and think that every Sunday afternoon should be spent eating a leisurely lunch on a blanket with my friends while the kids blow bubbles and jump in sack races.
Quotes of the day:
"Mom, can I get Twitter?"
(Really??)"Mom, do most people in the world know a 'George'?"
"Mom. Mom. Mooooom."
"I'm in the bathroom. I think you have a sixth sense to need me the moment I step in the bathroom."
"Or maybe you have a sixth sense to step in the bathroom the moment I need you."
Both: hmmmm....
"You know, last night I dipped my chicken nuggets in mustard sauce."
"We didn't have chicken nuggets for dinner last night."
"Oh, that's right. After our dinner I went and had dinner at Morleigh's."
"Ahh... so that's how it is. Progressive dinner in the neighbourhood. What a life!"
June has hit with it's flurry of activities.
Soccer four days a week.
Homeschool Original Kids Theatre production begins dress rehearsals this week followed by six performances in the last two weeks of June.
And school is winding down. Eight days to go!
These last few days are full of finishing math books, final projects, and field trips.
Today Eden enjoyed a day of bridge building at the University School of Engineering with other homeschoolers.
In the midst of it all we ask you to pray fervently for Dan and Nicole Hoftyzer. Their baby, Andrew, was born by emergency c-section on Saturday night. He was without oxygen for a time and lost most of his blood. They will be doing a series of tests Wednesday to find out the extent of the damage (if any) to his organs and brain. Pray for peace. Pray for understanding. Pray for healing. Just pray.
