In other news... The kids swam all last week! The air temps reached 90º and pool got "up" to 72º, which isn't bad for May in Michigan. The kids told me it felt amazing... I said I'd take their word for it and wait until water temps were in the 80's! Speaking of hot weather... I often give the kids a "would you rather" senario just to be funny. Something like: "Would you rather have hotdog fingers or spaghetti hair?" Yesterday, on the way home from school, Clara asked: "Would you rather be sunburned or be in jail?" I chose sunburn, she chose JAIL! Apparently the hot sun got the best of us last week! 🥰 Several of you have asked me to re-share the link for The Pour Over (my favorite source of News with a Christian vantage point). It's always free, they send 3 loaded emails each week, you may unsubscribe whenever, and they end every article with an "Eternal Perspective" and appropriate Bible passage. If you've stayed away from the News because of all the negativity, I think you'll enjoy The Pour Over! Have a great week... and let me know if you make a candy countdown chain! ~ Andrea p.s. the kids were impressed with my raging fire over the weekend! |
