Uno ATTACK!

Josiah and the older two young men went geocaching with some friends of theirs from work. They made sure they were back by 7:00 p.m. - the time when we expected Mike home for Sunday Ice Cream.

Josiah brought Uno Attack. This was our first time to play it....fun.

Nolan wasn't sure what was happening

He DOES keep us laughing

YES!

Mike helps Jamin with his ginormous hand of cards

Josiah left with Tim Hawkins......we really love this new DVD.

Sunday Thoughts

Stacia discovered play dough in RE today....and I realized that I should probably go buy some...I know there is a reason we've not had it in the house for 3 years....but I can't remember WHAT. I know I planned to make some...but I haven't...and she had a blast with it.

Chapel was good. I didn't hear every word of the Sermon but I DID hear Ch. M say that his heart is to know (intimacy again) God more and more with each year. That was cool - he meant it.

One of my "grace filled goals" this year is to cook Sunday dinner "most weeks". This is a gift for Mike and Josiah. Mike has taken us out for years and years after church .....it gives the children and I a day of rest. It makes Sunday a bit less hectic. Sunday is the ONE day that we know that Josiah and Jamin will both be off of work....but it is a BUSY day for Mike. I determined to give Josiah a gift of a home cooked meal on Sunday. I must say it was MUCH nicer to sit around the table than it is strung out over 2 or 3 tables in a restaurant. We had Chicken Divan (Cy's favorite). It started out as Cy's gift - but I think Mike will enjoy it as well. I had to make salad dressing and a salad (could have done that earlier)...so next week I'll plan ahead a bit more...and I'm sure I'll soon have a list of dinners that work well with chapel....I hope. ::snort:: I ended up skipping Fellowship Time so that I could get dinner in the oven in a timely fashion. Mike had to get back to the office. LOL

I made it to the gym...and finished this book...which I'll review in the next day or so. Yes, the cover makes everyone uncomfortable so I covered it - the book itself is excellent. ::snort::

That's about it for the day. LOL
