Whasup? or What's Up?

Gosh - a few things before I forget them:

State Basketball was last weekend and the girls and I went to BB games Wed., Thurs., Friday and Saturday! Ally won!!! We are so proud of her and had so stinkin' much fun!

Emily got her ears pierced, Thursday, March 11 at Claires in Hutchinson. She has all of a sudden grown up and is a chatty kathy and so adorably precious! Love her.

Ryan arrived home from Washington DC - great trip!

Ellen got a perfect on her reading state assessments.

Um - Ryan is pressuring me, so I will have to continue later - UGH!!!

TIME ELASPSES . . .

Okay! It is 9:49 pm and we are home from a blessed, wonderful day together! Dear Lord Jesus - thank You so very, very much for the time we have spent together! All 5 of us went to Wichita this afternoon. We met with BCO's travel agent regarding our Summer vacation. Then we went to Justice (for Miss Erin especially). The girls and I totally hog a dressing room while precious Ryan holds purses (3 to be exact); opines on the girls' choices and retrieves new sizes. Honestly, God, You could not have given me someone I love or want more! Thank you so very, very much!

After we buy $85.00 worth of clothing (which all seem very happy with, especially Erin), we head to my favorite - COFFEE at Starbucks! And, yes, it was excellent. The Pike Roast combined with the cone portion (after ice cream was scraped out thank you Emily) from McDonalds - well, it hit the spot to say the least. Then we went to Hobby Lobby to get some 'scrapbook' stuff for Ellen & Erin. AGain, major 'hoorahs!'. I was extremely elated to find a wall hanging of an elephant,lion, giraffe and some other African animal to hang in the rec room ON SALE of 90% off! Hoorah!

Okay - then we hit Sams and walked out with $155.00 of food (and 3 pants for Ryan). We had a democratic convention on dinner and it was unaminous - Olive Garden. So, we oinked out on salad, breadsticks and spaghetti! Oh, it was soooo good.

Did I mention that Miss Emily, who has hit a major growth spurt as evidenced by the rush of air out of her mouth in conjunction with her vocal chords for what seems hours on end, had to POOP at two different places! Ugh!

Did I mention that Ellen is at a sleepover at Grandma Bonnie's and Erin & Emily conned their sweet daddy into airing up the air mattress and are having a sleepover of their own.

Did I mention that "to whom much is given, much is required" Luke 12:48? The Holy Spirit so convicted me that as I/we want to give the girls so many opportunities, we are charged with teaching them that with privileges comes responsibilities. I dearly believe that God has allowed us so many things, but we will be held accountable and I want to stand before Him when my time here is done and hear "well done, My good & faithful servant". Oh . . . blessed be His name!

Did I mention we had a blessed, wonderful day together?

Amen.
