Today

Today we went to the farmer's market. Across the street is a children's consignment store that I always forget about. Well, I went in and found Katie a beautiful dress for church...only $1.00! That's all I had on me. I'm praying that the other dress I saw for the winter will not sell and will be there the next time I have $3.95. :) I really do not want to put anything on the credit card.
Katie is growing so much. She is getting tall and still skinny. I believe she will never have any fat on her with her diet. She is so healthy in her eating, vitamins and her exercise.

I need to get started on getting school work together but I'm being really lazy. I don't even want to pick up a book. Tom says he wants to do work but first would like to just lay around a bit! I'm with him.

I'm trying to get the girl's out of pull ups at night but it is not working. They are trying but still wet...the laundry is on overload.

Ed and I are starting a book study with the book Love and Respect. We have been reading the Bible together at night and we are also reading a book about hymn writers. This is great because we have never done this together. It is really nice.

Tomorrow is church and I can't wait. I am very excited to go.

This past week, Tom and Katie went to the vacation bible school, which was about Rome and loved it. The church had made a Roman marketplace which was really cool. Tom is already excited for next year. They said he will be able to help (he will be to old to attend). It is going to be about Egypt.

Becca is at a "new" friend's house today. I called Becca and she told me that they didn't fall asleep until 5:30 am! They are already awake and have been talking for at least 2 hours. I am so glad she has made a great friend. She is also homeschooled and this is her senior year.

Have a great day and hopefully I will start writing more.

We did the Love and Respect book. It's really good. In fact I just gave it to my niece who got married in June. We started our school year. So far we are doing good. I can't keep my kids in clothes too.
