It has been a full week with all manner of activities - our church fall festival, a field trip to Montgomery, a baby shower, and a Scout event too. The Montgomery trip will have to be a later post. It was amazing though!
On Sunday, we had a great time at the festival. I mentioned it in my last post, but didn't have good photos of everyone then. Elijah was Peter Pan (since we don't want him to grow up too quickly), Isaac was a motocross racer (his first time to want a costume in years), and Abigail was an Egyptian princess (specifically the one who pulled Moses out of the Nile). And, yes, I did make her crown, and sew her dress. Thank you for noticing.
Today was the Cub Scout Space Derby. Isaac placed 2nd three times, and 1st once, out of the 4 heats. We were quite proud of that, especially since we didn't go all out or anything, and James let him do a majority of the work - sanding, painting, gluing, with some help from James, and my painting the lightning bolt. He was so proud. Our friends, the Cottons, were there also, and Grant got 4 2nd place finishes, I think. We were a pleasantly unassuming, underachieving, and very happy, group!
Mouse over for captions:
Growing up, I often said "I wished I had a corner," meaning I wanted a little hideaway where I could get alone and just BE. It got to be kind of a joke in the family, but they understood what I meant - a spot just for me; to read, journal, garden, enjoy music, meditate on life, or pray. The "corner" I longed for wasn't even an actual place, but more, the opportunity to do those things I love. So, welcome and see what is going on in our family's corner!
