Outside Fun

TICKS!

A Game

The object of the game is to move the red block around without getting hit by the blue blocks or touching the black walls.

If you can go longer than 18 seconds you are phenomenal.  It's been said that the US Air Force uses this for fighter pilots. They are expected to go for at least 2 minutes.

Give it a try but be careful...it is addictive!!

A Note of Moving

A Moving Rant:

A Tip for Car Packers of Friends Who are Moving:

DON'T ADJUST THE DRIVER'S SEAT OF A CAR UNLESS IT'S YOUR CAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It makes for hard driving...and the mirrors were not correct for being that close to the steering wheel. Not that I could have moved them, I was squashed! Luckily I was able to grip the bottom of the steering wheel to steer and my knees only hit it when I had to employ the breaks. GEH.

End of The Moving Rant.

Beginning of post:

So, Janet is moving into my house tonight! My car was loaded and once they (being the guys who were helping pack!) were ready to load up Bob's truck I headed home to unload my car. :-) Soon, there will be two cars, two vans and one truck coming here to unload lots of Janet stuff. Yay!

Walking on Water?

Do you really know your theology?

Who was the 3rd man in history to walk on water?

Obviously, the 1st one was Christ.

The 2nd one was the apostle, Peter.

Then there was this guy, Jose...

Mother's Day Story

Happy Mother's Day Story

So, we had this great 10 year old cat named Jack who just recently died.
Jack was a great cat and the kids would carry him around and sit on him and
nothing ever bothered him. He used to hang out and nap all day long on this
mat in our bathroom.

Well we have 3 kids and at the time of this story they were 4 years old, 3
years old and 1 year old. The middle one is Eli. Eli really loves chapstick.
LOVES it. He kept asking to use my chapstick and then losing it. So finally
one day I showed him where in the bathroom I keep my chapstick and how he
could use it whenever he wanted to but he needed to put it right back in the
drawer when he was done.

Last year on Mother's Day, we were having the typical rush around and try to
get ready for Church with everyone crying and carrying on. My two boys are
fighting over the toy in the cereal box. I am trying to nurse my little one
at the same time I am putting on my make-up. Everything is a mess and
everyone has long forgotten that this is a wonderful day to honor me and the
amazing job that is motherhood.

We finally have the older one and the baby loaded in the car and I am
looking for Eli. I have searched everywhere and I finally round the corner
to go into the bathroom. And there was Eli. He was applying my chapstick
very carefully to Jack's . . . rear end. Eli looked right into my eyes and
said "chapped." Now if you have a cat, you know that he is right--their
little butts do look pretty chapped. And, frankly, Jack didn't seem to mind.

And the only question to really ask at that point was whether it was the
FIRST time Eli had done that to the cat's behind or the hundredth.

And THAT is my favorite Mother's Day moment ever because it reminds us that
no matter how hard we try to civilize these glorious little creatures, there
will always be that day when you realize they've been using your chapstick
on the cat's butt.

Hee. :-)
