A funny thing happened today....

Okay, so you all may remember Jim and the lunch he packed for Josiah a while back...you know the sleeve of crackers and the jar of peanut butter. Well, sadly I think I may have one upped him in the lunch department. Today in the rush of taking cupcakes to school for his bday, getting shoes on, and getting his backpack on....I forgot his lunch. I didn't even think about it until right before I went to pick him up. However, that is not the bad part of the story. He had left his lunch box at school last week and so when he went to lunch today his lunchbox was sitting neatly in his cubbie. It seemed normal to him. So off to lunch he went. He opened his lunch box and found a peice of chicken, so he handed it to his teacher and asked her to heat it up for him.... It was covered with a thick layer of mold. His teacher said, I didn't think you packed that for him, but you never know... At least he didn't eat it, but it does worry me a little that it didn't seem a little disgusting to him.

For Nana and Papa

Happy 5th Birthday Josiah!!

I can't believe my little boy will be five on Tuesday! We had his birthday tonight at the park, and besides being blown away with the crazy wind it was a lot of fun!

Josiah recieved way more than he needed! Thanks so much to everyone who came. It was a ton of fun. My favorite part was when we were playing games with all the kids and Josiah started to walk away. We said come on Josiah let's play and he said happy as can be "no fanks (thanks)".

Josiah feels right at home between two girls. I guess that's what comes from having 3 sisters!

Crazy Hair!

It was crazy hair day at school yesterday, so Emma wore one of the wigs I got on clearance after Halloween. She even wore it to free breakfast day at Chik-fil-a! She has one great sense of humor. She thought it was hilarious that people were pointing, laughing and staring at her!

The Day I Have Dreamed Of....

For a full year I have dreamed of this day. A day free of guinea pig smell, free of the wood chips and tirds on my floor.... Today is the day I have been freed. Yes the guinea pigs "sold" (actually they were given away) in my neighbors garage sale! Yippee! Of course I agreed to let Abbey buy a Gecko and said I would think about a dog in the future... I am going to put both of those off as long as possible. Next time you see Abbey please tell her what bad pets Geckos make....

Happy Resurrection Sunday!

Our Easter started with dying eggs and having our traditional egg wars. It was a tradition we had in the Macy house as kids and we do it in our now as well. We dyed our eggs and they were beautiful and then not even five minutes later all of our eggs were cracked. The idea is that you believe your egg is the strongest egg so you challenge other egg holders to a dual. One person holds their egg still and the other hits it with their egg. Whoevers egg does not crack wins the dual and gets to keep the other persons egg. Whoever has the most eggs at the end wins...sounds vicious...well I guess it is.





Next on the weekend docket was the Church Easter egg hunt. It was a ton of fun! Face painting, lots and lots of eggs, prizes, games and did I say fun. God multiplied like the loaves and fishes because we had twice as many kids at the event than we have had in past years!

Today began with a sonrise service at 7 am, Easter play at 8 am, breakfast fellowship at 9am and easter play again at 10:30! Whew! Were we all tired...we crashed on the couches this afternoon, I think we all fell asleep at one time or another!

Here are the kids in their Easter outfits! Much better than the crazy dresses they picked out last year...I'm sure some of you remember those! Even Josiah got in on the action this year...notice the vest and tie!

Jesus Paid It All

I am overwhelmed and thankful today for my savior...I worshipped Him today as I listened to this song...
