BLESSINGS!

This awesome family lives in Sylvester...in our neck of the woods :) I found them through their sis in laws blog that I just started reading. I have always loved this song by Third Day, but I love the country twang that this cover has. If they had a cd, I 'd buy it! This is def. a blessing to me.

Speaking of blessings, we've had a weekend full of them. We kept our good friends, Becky and Jonathan Jense's baby girls, Anna and Abby all weekend. Becky had her 20 yr reunion at Lowndes this weekend and they stayed with her parents over there.

I have watched these girls grow up, I had the priveledge to teach the youngest in K when I was student teaching, and I've taught them in VBS year after year as well. They camped our in our bonus room with Blakely!

I'm in a list making mood so I'll list what we did.
Friday Night
We ate at BK and then went across the street and painted pottery! It was soooo fun! I made a plate...we'll see how it turns out. Later, Matt and Anna watched Home Alone, and Abby and I went to bed while watching Nick.

Our creations!
Saturday
We got up and checked on, Dixie, their beagle (they live down the street in our subdivision). Then I checked out 11 books from the library, they came with me and played on the computers while Matt went in to work for a bit. Then the girls played golf with Matt in our yard most of the afternoon. We ate dinner at Barberito's and then bowled and played pool.
We all watched Wizards of Waverly Place on Disney and sang to the guitar some before going to bed.

Cosmic Bowling
Sunday
The girls slept in! Then their mama, Becky, came over to get them. Becky had a great reunion, she sat in her pj's and we went over everything that she bought and all the details of her weekend before the Jense family went home to get some rest!

A few random thoughts:
Matt and I love having the girls. We are so proud of them!

I personally, love the in depth talks that we have about all the kids in their classes. I know or taught most of them, so I want the scoop!

We have discussions about literature (childrens lit and series' that is) and I try to influence them on great reads I think they should check out and test on. We'll see if it worked!

I love driving them in the tahoe. They sit back there and belt out all of Taylor Swift's songs!

I love watching Matt with them. He takes good care of them, and plays with them all the time. Last night Anna Beth went to find him, because she was scared!

2 more things. I am addicted to books. I tried to just check out a few books like I did last week. But of course I came home with 11. It's a sickness.

I am LOVING music right now. So many good cd's are being released. Carrie Underwood's new one is AMAZING. And I'm anxiously awaiting Casting Crown's new one too. On top of that there is Miranda Lambert, Colbie Caillat, and many many awesome country songs out right now!



Ok, let's wrap this super long post up. We have a crazy busy week. I have meetings and conferences, Matt has meetings, and I have appointments galore. Whew! We're already looking ahead to Friday night!
