Water Slide Party #2

Here we go again!!!! Today was Haley's water slide party. She had originally invited 2 girls but when we went to work at my school this morning we saw the principals daughter who is going into K next year. We then invited her, to make 3. The afternoon started off shaky as I couldn't get the water slide to work, and 4 year olds aren't very patient. Finally, after a frantic call to Jeff (who was on his way to Indiana for a "church planting boot camp"), he told me all the things to try, and finally it worked. Whew!

None of these girls liked root beer floats either( refering to yesterdays blog post) so they settled for ice-cream in a bowl. They played very well, but I was still glad when the door bell rang with the first mom.


At 5 tonight I am meeting my friend Kris to exercise, we have been trying to do that 3x a week, then I have worship team practice at the church at 6:30. The girls want to order a pizza, so I will probably pick up a cheese pizza for them and take it home after the practice.


If you will notice, one of my goals for the summer was to cook better meals. I will admit that I have not a done a very good job. Last night Mikayla and I had a conversation, it went like this. "Mom, what's for supper?" " I don't know, what do you want? A grilled cheese sandwich?" "No, I want something real! Can't you go and catch a rooster or something and cook it!?!?!" That was a clue to me that I need to cook better. It is just so hot in the summer that I don't feel like cooking, and during the school year I am too busy. These poor girls. They love it when we have company because I cook lots of food. I promise, my girls do not starve, but I AM going to do a better job of this!


I haven't had any reports from Jenna. I am sure she is having a blast!! At this camp last year Madison, my niece, went for the first time. She had a great time... but... she also came home with only 1 pair of dirty underwear, and lots of still clean underwear, after a 6 day camp! After investigating, it turns out that Madison took one shower and changed her underwear only once!!! (She was just too busy to take the time to do otherwise)(Sorry Leah, for divulging this information about your daughter!) This year, during packing, Madison packed only 1 pair of underwear because she just planned on changing her underwear only 1x, so why even take more?! My sister made her take 7 pairs- with strict instructions to change them more often. It will be interesting to see how many clean/dirty pairs come home with Jenna. (she would kill me if she knew I was writing this!)


Have a good one!
