Humble Prayer...not!

I just helped Jess with her personal prayer. We talk about the day and the things she did and then look for all of the things to be thankful for. Sometimes it takes some prompting, and even a rhyme game. Tonight she was in rare form. She did not want to go to bed. She threw her head back and shook her fists heavenward and declared "Sleeping is soooo boring!" Yeh, she's sort of dramatic sometimes. I tried to have the daily review with her. We ended up going straight to prayers. I told her to share 3 things she was thankful for and mentioned a few of the things she did really well today. After all of that coaching, this was the resulting prayer: "Dear Heavenly Father, I'm thankful for toys, toys, and more toys." and then she closed it. Ornery and hilarious, and I hope asleep!

Happy Birthday from Pollyanna

Happy Schmappy Birthday to me!

So, I know this is late, not that anyone is surprised...but I wanted to say thanks to the girls for the fun birthday lunch. ( I wrote proper Thank You notes and delivered about half of them so far..duh.) And then to make it even sweeter, Pollyanna (who has entirely admirable talents) made me a fantastic fondant mad hatter birthday cake! She made the fondant out of marshmallow so it tasted as wonderful as it looked! I took pictures of the art.

Jess and Wes on the first day of Kindergarten

Jess and Wes on the first day of Kindergarten
Jess woke up on this particular morning in rare form. She usually doesn't care what she's wearing; her birthday suit is just as good as anything else. On this day inparticular, she informed me that she didn't want any bows or bands and that she had her clothes picked out. Was that Kindergarten or 8th grade?
