How sweet is it that?

1-Jenna still always includes in her prayers “And bless the people who lost their homes in the floods that they will get a new home. And bless that they will like our stuff and our card.” When Katrina hit, I tried to use that as a teaching moment for my kids, and get them to donate a bunch of clothes and stuffed animals for the misplaced Katrina evacuees. Jenna drew a card to go with the things, and was very concerned that they would like it. She is a sweetie.

2-John came and asked in the cutest, sweetest voice, “Mom, can I have cocoa peddles?”

Going camping today. I’m taking the kids and all the stuff I can fit into the van up to the family reunion camp as the lone parent, and hoping my DH will come up (and bring the tent trailer) after work. I’m hoping not to forget things. I’ve got all the craft stuff, all the food stuff for the potluck, we need to make lunch stuff, I’m packing for almost all 7 of us, swim stuff, suncreen, forgot the bug spray, so I need to find some of that, and I’m hoping to remember my sense of humor and sanity. It’s only two days of constant dirt and couting my children to make sure not one of them has wandered off with cousins and is lost somewhere. I can get through it. Camping is just not as much fun as it was when I was a kid. I wonder why.

If certain friends of mine (you KNOW who you are) don’t soon get ON their lazy butts and post something interesting, I’m going to have to take the links off my blog. I know you live very interesting and busy lives, but could you just slow down for a minute or so to blog about it so the rest of us who have nothing to do but blog will have something to read about? Come on!
