At least it goes faster. We definitely still miss James (AKA Daddy & Uncle James.) The boys have been drawing pictures & praying for James. This morning the boys each prayed for James before having a special treat hot apple cider. C said I miss my Daddy & want him to come home soon. They each had sweet prayers for James and then loved their yummy drinks!
After our snake scare, we decided to go see the Airborne Special Ops Museum- the boys all loved it! They were so excited to see Army soldiers. The soldiers at Sam's probably got a kick out of their big grins & excitement. I love that we can just have a good time hanging out instead of feeling like we have to go "do" lots of stuff. We did all go to K's soccer practice that afternoon -he was happy to have his friends go with him & he got to wear his cool jersey for pics! We came home to baked potato & salad dinner which got wolfed down by 9 hungry people!
Friday morning we had our 3rd Sophies' Walk (I'm going to do a separate post on that- it was great!) All were worn out- it sure is great for kids to run around lots- makes kids who eat and sleep very well. It's amazing how quiet this house gets with 7 little ones here. Friday night Janelle took a quick trip to Walmart & trusted me to make the pizza. She didn't know that James is the pizza maker in the family & I'm not a quick baking learner. The kids ate the pizza anyway & we made yummy ice cream cookies for P's celebrate days.
Saturday morning was a nice time to not rush out the door. We played around the house until K's 11 am soccer game. We've been playing a lot of soccer & football. The kids all love the sandbox- which ended up with a ton of sand in our bathtub today. We had another meatless dinner tonight- lentils & rice which was good with cheese in a tortilla. Janelle & I have made up for the lack of anything on TV with yummy food- ice cream, pumpkin fudge, hot apple cider.
Sunday was a good day of church & beautiful weather for playing outside. I even managed to get the grill turned on to grill hamburgers (which got halfway done before we ran out of propane.) Oh, how I miss having James here! The burgers turned out okay inside & a good way to check our smoke detectors for the second time today! After dinner, we had s'mores for J's celebrate days.
