Dear Children, we had a long weekend. This week was busy and went by way too fast. I love it when we are all together. It made me laugh when Kade AND Hazel both at different times meant to say "seriously?!!!" in an annoyed tone and said "actually" instead. Ha. Dear Labor Day Weekend, we did some good labor...yard work. The kids worked hard. Not quite as hard as the parents. And then we went up on the Mountain to Wet Canyon. We passed an apple orchard, but they were closed on the way home. Next time we will stop there first! Dear Gila Valley, there are so many beautiful places close by. And Will is good at taking us on plenty of adventures out doors. Dear Kade, Football Practice is so hard for you. You hate the conditioning. But this week you got to start pushing people down...you were a little too excited about that. We will see how long this lasts before someone tackles you. Dear Awkward, normally after bending down when I stand up everything goes black (normal for me) depending on how bad it is I decide to either stop and wait, sit down or just keep walking in the dark and just pretend I can still see until it goes away. Wellll, I grabbed 3 cans on pears from the pantry and then chose the latter. Umm I should have chose option 2. I couldn't see so ended up tripping over a box of fabric softener and falling flat on my face. Cans are not soft. Laugh it up. Ha. I'm awesome too by the way. Dear Girls, when Will is teasing me, even if I started it...I just call for you and you all come running ready to attack. You are persistent too. Now I just threaten to call for backup. Sometimes it works. Dear Church, I was hoping I would squeak by, but no, I have to speak in church this weekend. Be prepared for crying or tripping...or both. Dear Will, you haven't been feeling good this week. I want you to feel better. And I don't want you to share it with me, but you did anyway. I wish you had more time to rest. Dear Self, the only good thing about giving a talk is you are reminded of all the important things you have learned in life. One of the most important being the topic- Personal Peace through living Righteously.
