First Day of School


For some unkown technical reason I haven't been able to post pictures- for a long time. So here are a lot of them.

A Missing Tooth

After the tooth came out she said, "now I have a place to rest my tounge."
"Sometimes you get tempted to make
something wonderful even better but
in doing so you lose what was so
wonderful to begin with."
-from the book Everything on a Waffle

Another Insight

After sweeping up
*cheerios
*sunflower seeds
*very small pieces of couscous
*and potting soil
it seems that a person deserves one of those
chocolate melting cakes, or something like that.

My visiting teacher gave me this quote yesterday. I really like it.
" I don't want to drive up to the pearly gates in a shiny sports car, wearing beautifully tailored clothes, my hair expertly coiffed, and with long, perfectly manicured fingernails.
I want to drive up in a station wagon that had mud on the wheels from taking kids to scout camp.
I want to be there with a smudge of peanut butter on my shirt from making sandwiches for a sick neighbor's children.
I want to be there with a little dirt under my fingernails form helping to weed someones garden.
I want to be there with children's sticky kisses on my cheeks and the tears of a friend on my shoulder.
I want the Lord to know I was really here and that I really lived."

A Few Insights

The following is a list of things that I have gained a few things from (at least I think I have).
There may or may not be any importance to any of these things. I'd like to think there is some importance, nontheless, here you go.

*Watching a seven year old learn to ride a bike is fun.

*It's okay to lose a tooth when you are four, even if you are not five yet.

*Remember your take home box of food from the restaurant because you paid for the food.

*Remember to grab the take home box off the top of your car after you buckle your kids in, (before you drive away).

*Read the fine print on all coupons and most major documents.

*Recycling is good.

*If your feet hurt, sit down (easier said than done).

*Sometimes giving things away for a good cause is good too.

Nothing to profound, but take it for what it's worth.
