Around the table
Each night as we sit around the table we usually ask the family a question and take turns answering them. Sometimes they are more silly/fun questions like "If you could go anywhere in the world, where would you go", or more thought provoking like "How have you seen Him in your life today, what is something good that happened today that you can give thanks for." We also brought this little chair gift I received and whomever is sitting in the lucky chair, gets told all the wonderful things we love about that person:) This past week I asked the kids "So we've been here a month, what is one thing you can see now that perhaps you took for granted back home?" These were some of the answers (not in any particular order)
"Road signs"--you know that sounds crazy but when you are running out of gas and you have no idea where or IF there is a gas station around, when to get off at an exit....
"Toast"
"Grandma & Grandpa"
"Bacon Stroganoff and pulled pork"
"playing at the park"
"mom picking take us and picking up for school so no long bus ride"
This week we kind of took a step back and tried to keep low-key. After much thought and prayer it was decided Jordan was no longer going to continue to swim. We all felt really peaceful about that decision.
We did do the usual shopping trip BUT did stop at the Krispy Kremes--can you believe we made it a whole month before we went there???
Had our weekly kid date-- This was Megan on a robotic "car" animal thing with dad.
Homework, racquetball, and then we put on a movie night
Thurs. Due to a reschedule from last week, Jordan missed it to go dancing:) but the kids had no problem watching it again to get him caught up! Thank you to my sweet friend for sending the caramel popcorn recipe--a big hit! Everyone got to invite a friend and while it took a little longer to get started because of the internet, it was a fun night for everyone.
