We've been pretty busy lately with soccer, volleyball, tutoring, Bible Study, MOPS, etc, etc, etc......but also having LOTS of fun! Last week, Allie had her "religious education" program with her school. We are so fortunate to belong to a school district that still allows for Christian Bible classes to be given once a week during the school day. It takes place at the small church right next to their school and she really enjoys attending the class. The teachers put together a program honoring the kids for their hard work this year, as every single one of the 3rd grade students that attended memorized their weekly Bible verses! YEAH! And, Allie had to memorize a small part for the program as well. She shared about how God's Word is like a mirror. When we look to His word, we can see all His treasures that He has for us, and that includes the face that He made us!
We spent most of last weekend having "family" time. Friday night, we headed over to Plainfield (much easier for us to get there than Greenwood anymore) to the Metropolis Mall. The weather that evening was really nice so given that this mall is outdoors was an added bonus! We ended up purchasing a volleyball net to have at home for Allie to practice with as she is still really enjoying her vball league and getting better with each game/practice! We capped the night off with a trip to Ritters....can't get much better than shopping and ice cream! Saturday was absolutely gorgeous outside so we spent almost all day long (after Lauren's morning soccer game) outside doing yard work. The two older girls had a couple of friends over to, believe it or not, play on the water slide in the yard.......I know, it's only the end of April but it was so hot that day that they loved it! Jason and I got alot accomplished that day and were completely exhausted by that night. But we are very happy to report that our yard and landscaping look great and are ready for the summer season! Sunday after church, it was still nice weather so we decided to take the girls over to one of our favorite local parks (Pioneer Park right here in Mooresville) to enjoy the sunshine. We "hiked" a couple of their trails and the girls had fun riding the scooters as well. Katelyn just enjoyed running around in the grass, playing with a ball and laughing at her sisters! Unfortunately, I forgot to have my camera around the day or I would have had some great pictures. Here are just a few of the latest escapades to show you.......the picture of Katelyn is to show you how she loves to rub her hair/head after she has eaten dinner and therefore, she usually ends up w/ some sort of a crazy hairstyle and some crumbs of what she has eaten in there too! The girls helped her a bit with this latest style. Allie is shown studying....she's anxious to finish out her 3rd grade year and has really been studying hard for some of her big tests lately. They just finished a huge unit on Space, which she loved. And, then there's Lauren.....always crazy and still hanging on to that pink blankie. Most of the time, she walks around with it on her head, as seen in this latest photo! Man, oh man, life is crazy here, but so fun and Jason & I find ourselves at the end of the night usually laughing about something one of the kiddos did or said that day and reminding each other what a wonderful family we have been blessed with!
