Games

The 3 little girls were here on Saturday night for awhile and this was our fun.
First was the mosaic game.
It was fun to make something pretty.
Here they are all laughing so hard, they can hardly play the game!! :)

Then was Candyland.
So Hannah named each one of the little colored men.
Yellow was for Happy(I got him), Blue was Sad, Red was Mad and Green was Grass.
Not sure of her system, but cute non the less. :)

Mmmm....

Amy and I made these last night at like 11pm.....and they were very very yummy!
Easy. We even made one with Chocolate and Butterscotch chips in it.
Need chocolate...just try them.
I think you'll like.
Recipe is at Bake at 350.

What a beautiful thought this verse is!
"The Lord your God is with you, He is mighty to save. He will take great delight in you, He will quiet you with His love, He will rejoice over you with singing."
Zephaniah 3:17

Job Interview

I had my very first job interview today! I'm 42 and I had never been interviewed before. Wierd, but okay. Now I wait. But that's ok, because I know that God is in charge here and He knows best. :)
I finally got outside and pulled some weeds today....not sure I had done that yet this year! I know, that's bad! I mowed and trimmed some hedges too.
I picked out some paint samples today. Really wanting to paint the outside of the house. The color I picked though....it's called Hard Work! Not sure I want that! :)
Hannah's Party was this weekend and I just posted about it HERE. It was a great time. The kids were just the best.
Next: Sierra's 3rd birthday...candy themed.

Camporee Pictures

The hot-air balloon we ALMOST got to ride in.
First day, we got in line and the guy in charge came up to us and said
" with the humidity, the balloon is using more propane than normal and I don't think you'll get to ride today."
So we left. Next day, we got in line...closer this time!
The guy in charge says to everyone
"there's a REAL GOOD chance that we will not be taking anybody up today."
Guess it was too windy. Blaaa! Next day.....no balloon at all. Bad weather!
It was right across where our camp was set up.
So close, yet no ride. :(
Take note of all the porta potties!
Us "working" :)

Ruth....what a fun gal!

Starting Over.

I have almost just returned from a week at International Pathfinder Camporee in OshKosh WI. I have made it as far as Fargo and will head home tomorrow. Both Amy and I had a great time even though we worked alot. We helped with the cooking for the Dakota Conference which was about 150 people every day. When we got a break from that we helped Lynette (my sister) work in the two stores that she had set up at the camp. One...the bookstore and two...the food store. Both were quite busy with times being very overwhelmed with people who for the most part could speak English, but we did find some that had some troubles with that. I will admit that I got a bit tired of people a few times. You put 35,000 people in tents and allow them 3 minute showers (if they even take them), be in the heat, walk...walk...walk (unless we got the golf cart), work, try to understand people from Brazil, Jamaca, Africa, Mexico...etc. and see if you get a bit worn out. :) But I am GLAD we went. And thanks to Lynette we had a wonderful Hotel room!! It was a good week. Very good.

I will be home tomorrow to start looking for a new job as I did quit the Dental job I've had for 7 1/2 years. All I can say is that I KNEW I had to. It was time. I feel good about my decision. I know it was the right thing to do. I am trusting that God has a better plan for me.

I'm busy working on a Birthday Party for Hannah. She turned 5 on Friday and since I was not home we planned it for this coming Saturday. She has chosen a Strawberry Shortcake theme and I am very excited to see how much fun we can have! :) Not only do I love planning parties, but I love how happy it makes people feel when they are celebrated.

Have a great day all. Enjoy.

New Day

This is Amy's front door. It is made just from contact paper.
Amy cut the letters out freehand and applied them.
What a fresh way to start the day as you head out into this crazy world.
I'm claiming this quote today. :)

Finally I'm doing a Work Filled Wednesday Post! :) Life been so crazy and that's really sad that I do alot of other posts on my party blog...but never seem to get this important post done.

When I think of this text today it makes me realize that yes, God may have given me a talent to plan and create parties, but I need to not forget to keep Him in it and share Him.

Have a great Wednesday everyone....keeping God IN your day. :) "Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others, faithfully administering God's grace in its various forms." 1 Peter 4:10
