Kindergarten and socks.........

So my girl is back in school and excited to be in kindergarten. She is not excited about having to wear socks with her shoes........they drive her nuts so you can imagine the battle that comes with putting on tennis shoes. Good grief! This morning she wore new shoes with no socks. They are cute, but maybe a bit roomy right now, of course with a little sock they would be fine. Nope. No socks. Oh well, it is what it is and I didn't want to fight over it again.

The trip to Turkey Creek was fun. Everyone had a good time, and I'm pretty sure would have stayed another day if we could have. There was plenty to do and we had a nice place to rest. It was a good trip so I'm sure we'll go back some time.

Our big movie screen arrived yesterday! It's 9 feet tall and over 12 feet wide. I'm anxious to get it inflated and show a movie for our kids at church. We've got a backyard campout in the works at Wolf Creek that we're all excited about. What a fun way to spend time with your church family!

out with the old..........

I've been working on getting rid of old clothes and toys and anything else that's taking up space in my home. It's quite a process, but my goal is to have a stress free atmosphere within a few weeks. Out with the old is the easy part.......in with the new is not so easy.

I'm headed out tomorrow with the boys for a couple of days of fun. It's gonna be hot, but there's plenty of water available should I decide to get in. I'm anxious to get there and get settled and spend some time with a good group of boys.

The big event of the week however was the departing of Hatch and Rose......Brenna's chickens. It was a tough decision to make for a 5 year old, but she understood it was for the best. She handled it pretty well even though her little heart was aching. They were her chickens and she loved them and I love her more than I can put into words.
