Our Saturday

Morning coffee.

Keagan has been making all kinds of neat things with kinex.  

I made a most delicious pie.  It takes 3 or 4 ingredients and so simple to make.  

The beginnings of a wonderful big DEEP sandbox! 


She helped by watching from the swing. 

These two small ones were off to load the wagon with all their sandbox equipment....

More of her sunshine! 



The anticipation was running high! 



Completed Project.  Zerrick says that even he might play in the sandbox now and then..... he would rather chase a  foot ball all day. 


And then we had pizza on the grill... so good. 

I have to treasure this spot in time.....It's flying away so fast! 

Big long story about the ground our deck is on....but the end of it is that there is a cistern down there that is making things sink and hopefully we're getting to the bottom of the problem....literally.....

Later in the evening.....they were watching Matt and Keagan drive out the lane.....

Putting on the pout cuz Dad left him home!  :)  
   We ended our day with a campfire and people stopping in to see our messed up deck post and then baths and bed......

Cool sandbox...unfortunately the 'newness' of ours has long time wore off, and very rarely do they play in it!! One word of advice...to keep it 'clean' buy a nice large tarp to spread over it every time when they are done playing!! Keeps it free from leaves, grass clippings and 'cats'!! :-)

Happy Birthday Keagan

Keagan turned three while we were in Idaho. So we made a cake and celebrated with the Skrivseth cousins this year. He was enthralled watching me make the cake. Had to have his little hand on that hat! gazing in adoration at it. Just about ready to blow those candles. He kept telling me that we couldn't sing Happy Birthday though. He's easily embarrassed! Silly guy! I rather like my little three year.

Forgiveness

 Forgiveness  Forgiveness has bones It has a brain It uses logic  And common sense  Forgiveness goes about Finding a common ground. It shows up in common places. It happens unsuspected. Forgiveness allows one to Name the thing that happened. Forgiveness gives one a way To see it for what it was. Forgiveness provides for the  Empty spaces in conversation  And allows one to listen  And grieve outside of one’s own experience. Forgiveness walks into a situation  And remembers. But walks with peace And knows calmness. Forgiveness has an earpiece  On the heart  And a microphone  At his mouth Saying the words that Forgiveness has given him. Forgiveness doesn’t walk with fear. Forgiveness looks alone. But He’s always always  Hand in hand with gentleness and kindness. Forgiveness can stand alone though. It doesn’t melt away or dissipate  With time. Forgiveness is that little happy wren  On your shoulder  Forgiveness sings...

Let me tell you how God answers prayer

      Did I ever write on here that I am teaching school at our little church school?  I absolutely love it and find that it's been a neat way to feel useful and invest in our bubble.  But I am requiring my kids to tell stories and write them and read them.  And right now they are in a four week story writing assignment and I began to wonder what I thought I was doing requiring something of them that I am not really proficient at nor am I very knowledgable about.       So for my story to write  let me tell you a little bit about how God answers prayer.  Sometime I feel like I should write Jeanie's whole story.  But not this time.             Jeanie's been having focal seizures.  We don't know when they started.  All we know is that we were advised to go get her growing pain/ leg cramps looked into and it started the beginning of many tests of which we still aren't done with....
