Dressing up

Jeff just reminded me that I haven't posted anything in two weeks. Life seems to be flying by lately. I truly wish that it would slow down. The kids are growing up so fast but I absolutely love the ages they are at right now. I get terrified when I think of them being teenagers. They are my babies!
We are so excited about what God has been doing at our church. There were over 1500 people in church on Sunday! This is all in the first year of the church. Amazing! This Sunday, Pastor preached about dating and boy did he let it rip. I am going to have to get this series on cd. I hope that my kids will have that kind of vision for their lives. I just have never heard it preached like that. When I say that it was practical, I don't mean watered down. Far from it! I pray that my kids will have such a vision for their lives and the purpose that God has for them that absolutely nothing will come between that.
Tuesday was Circus Day at preschool for Susanna and Luke. We looked all over for an idea for a costume but had no luck. So I ended up just painting their faces. Susanna was loving it. She loves to wear my makeup whether it's a clown face or not. Now, Luke would not allow me to paint his face. He absolutely refused to wear makeup. (Which I am thankful for, but I didn't think it would be a big deal) Well, when we got in the car line to drop him off and he saw all of his friends dressed up, he started to cry. Then, he told me that he did want a clown face. So I dug through my purse for any makeup that I had and we did the best we could when the car is moving, not to mention Luke cannot stay still. It looked terrible. But, he was so proud of it. He told the teacher that he had his face painted and she just laughed. I think that she thought he said that he painted his face and well I just let her think that.
We had a good day today. The weather was beautiful and we got to play outside most of the day. Our friend Ally and her 3 kids came over and played. It worked out good to have 2 swingsets. The people who used to live in this house left theirs and we added ours. Almost everyone had a swing.
Tonight, while we were watching American Idol, Susanna always comments on all of the girls dresses. I don't know where we went wrong but she absolutely loves fashion. It is so funny. But, her favorite girl is the one who always does terrible, but Susie loved her green dress. The funniest thing though is that when a girl wears a dress that is low cut, she covers her eyes and goes on and on about how disgusting that it is. Now, I hope that that sticks.
