We had 3 goals today (that's something that has been missing from our day - goals!):
1) plant a garden/seeds, 2) Clean our home, 3) Cook for company tonight...and we did it! We planted a little garden all around our front porch, I hope they seeds take and we get carrots, beans, cucumbers, beets, watermelon, & onions!!! And we planted some seeds in cups for peppers, roses, and daisies. It will be a small but fun harvest. The kids helped clean the screened in porch & laundry room (YEAH!), and we cooked. But I was crabby at points and that is the hard part for me.
We had company over and heard some really encouraging stories of how they are sharing Christ and descipling young ones in criminal detention centers for youth, and how they are sharing the Lord with their whole families. It's always such a blessing to hear them talk about their lives with us. They are such an encouragement. The kids were a bit crazy running around playing tag and being loud, but were having fun together.
Sophia had softball today, and loves it. I am really happy for her, as I remember how much fun it was when I played. Her team is really casual and fun, so that is real blessing for her. Katya made borsch! Num.
I just sent in a question to our homeschool group, "when if ever should you send your child to school", and then I went to Dorothy's (Urban Servant) blog, and saw pictures of her children at the Mall of America's MN's aquarium, and thought, I bet she doesn't even go there to that question. If I read her blog more, I might feel homeschooling encouragement (she has 11, and many of them have multiple disorders - wow!).
Andre pulled an all boy trick today and relieved himself in plain view of the girls..."We didn't see anything Mom"..."I would have wet my pants"...."I told him not to" (from the 10 yr old boy)...girls didn't say anything...UGHHH double UGGH, gross, things like this drive me crazy, and well, he was disciplined with with solidarity for awhile, and we'll be revisiting appropriate behavior for awhile. And we played cards tonight, and he stacked the deck and lied about it too. I have suspected FAS with him, but we haven't had him tested. He knows the difference between right and wrong, but doesn't care at the time. He will show remorse.
I feel as while some are going to grow in Christ, some are going to push all my buttons and try to disprove my faith! Sophia gave me a ring with "Faith" on it. I hope to wear it more, but I'm too chubby right now....triple UGHH...
Chris gets home from a 2 night stint in Alabama...YEAH!
Love from Alesia & Chris
