Hay Happens and Hay's Happen

First, she got up to do her yoga and prayers. Then, we heard her in the art/play room. What was she doing?

Students: Reeses and Carson, Michael, and Maggie, and Micah….oh, Corbin and Carmel.

She taught them Bible, structuring a paragraph, math, and grammar. She is so strict!

Later, she moved it all into the living room.

I see her strengths as she talks to her students. She graded their papers, worked individually with the students who needed help, and gave consequences for students who were “out of line.”
Future teacher? Hmm…..

Every Saturday, I want to dress up, have a tea party and talk. 10am. Be there!

How could I turn that down!?

First, last week, I bought a new journal and some color coding pens to use with it. Tatum couldn’t resist. She had to have one too! So, this became part of our Saturday morning.

Upon asking me to get the tea party ready, she walked in with her dress and heels on.

She was all ready to go. I poured our tea, and then we read our prompt for our journal discussion.

Cheers my love!

Let’s write.

Tatum first shared her heart with me. (Three wishes you have for your mommy or daughter) We had five.

I love all 5!! Love that she wants Daddy and me to grow in love.

Mine now!

In Jesus name!
We read to each other, then she showed me her color coding.

Love these pens!

Here’s her Color coding key.

She shared with me her GOD moment later. Melt.

I felt it too, Lovebug. More later!

Last week, I was not at my best. In fact, I had to lay down for a few hours. I had just given Coopy a bath, and he was ready to rock’n’roll.

He took good care of me while Tatum and Daddy were gone.

I’m so grateful for his little guy.

Who is under all of that blond hair?

I put a little mascara on her; women pay for these lashes! She is blessed with gorgeous eyes.

Mom joined for some pics:

We are just about ready to head out.

Buddy, you have to stay behind, but we’ll bring you some candy!
As we headed down the sidewalk, a perfectly V-form of ducks passed overhead. They were scouting out which candy basket to pilfer probably.

God is so amazing in how he innately these ducks know how to form.

OK, Daddy loves our back sides apparently. More likely our hair?

Ok, we’ll go there too.

We hit about 15 of our neighbor’s homes, and it was a treat to see them all.

Hands off my candy, Daddy! Heehee

She ended up donating most of it to her classmates. Everyday, she puts a few pieces in to share, and she also created a “treasure box” for incentive for kids to return the books she lent out. Smart girl!

PAAAAAALEEEEEEEASE drop some of that!

Ready for Thanksgiving now, right Coopy?

He is so funny! At night, Coopy gets all lovey dovey.

Usually he’ll nestle his nozzle right into Daddy’s legs. SO stinkin’ CUUUUTE!

We are living the 6-G life and part of that is being glad, grateful and God-filled. When you are these G’s, you can’t help but belt out a tune!
And so the Two Girls did.

The tune? Cuckoo in the Key of C. Yes, very advanced. (?!)

But we did it!

TADA!

I love you, Tot!

Our church, Scottsdale Bible, has a service for the older generation in the Grace Chapel. Doug and I got married in this beautiful venue.

This morning, the Children’s Choir sang a few songs with Matt leading. I love his deep voice!!

This was the last time she was in here!

We got there an hour early for them to practice. with Sandra.

The beauty of these songs was how classic and hymnal they were.

All ready!

I love that they are teaching the young these classic hymns like How Great Thou Art!
Tot, you sounded wonderful along with the choir. XXOO
