Jordan's belated birthday

 Since it snowed several inches for Jordan's birthday, we had to reschedule our lunch with her. Mom and Dad decided to go with us. We ate at the Cheesecake Factory where we bought a lemon raspberry cheesecake to split with everyone to eat later. Afterwards, we went to antique and thrift shops. We found two we had not been to before. One was a little different than most of them we go to. Each person's booth seemed more like it had themes. They were definitely vintage. One room seemed like 70's decor and even had old TV's. One was Victorian "porn" and was painted black with black lights! 😳 The other place we went was one of those really big buildings where you get lost trying to figure out how to best navigate. Do I go down this aisle and then backtrack to get to that other aisle? ...or??? Mom and Dad got tired both times and found nice seats to wait on us. Jordan ended up finding a few items - a standing stuffed Garfield, an art auction game, and a few Christmas presents for Ashley. I wonder if all of Ashley's frog and mushroom items are from Jordan? Hmm.

VBS Family Night

We had an amusement park atmosphere for family night of VBS. First the kids sang a few songs from VBS and then Brother Bob presented the gospel to the parents. Then we headed in for inflatables, balloon creatures, face painting, crafts, cotton candy, popcorn, and pickles! The girls had a blast. They missed the pony rides, but were grateful that the ponies stayed home and didn't get drenched in the total downpour right before the event! Practicing while waiting on the other kids to arrive. A - Admit to God that you're a sinner and repent. B - Believe that Jesus is God's own son. C - Confess your faith in Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord. It's the ride of your life when you dare to believe in Jesus Christ!!

Vocabulary Words

After report cards came back, we realized that it might be a good idea to study for the vocabulary test instead of just the spelling words. Now we're snapping a picture on Wednesdays of the vocabulary and taking pre-test on it too. Just making sure we can read the definitions is helping a lot. Seeing lots more 100s on the test now.

Traveling

I'm amazed at how much we drive. I took this picture leaving school today. Wasn't it just a year or two ago that I took the picture of the odometer at 12345? We actually travel less than we used to. Monday and Tuesday is normally just to Elgin and back home. Wednesdays have us driving to school, Lawton, and then to home. The same thing happens on Thursday for gymnastics, piano, and dance. On Friday we just go to school and back home. Then on Sunday we go to church in Lawton. To some people that is a lot of driving. It doesn't really seem like it to me. But I guess the odometer doesn't lie.
