smashed

...shaving cream balloons!
{yes, leftover from my high school girls nite}

and boy did my girlie pies have big plans for theirs.

and their plans were foiled within seconds...brooke held on tight, but jk, well, her balloon went on a little ride. but, defying physics, it did not pop. {shew}

so on to brooke...who did a major smash
and in typical brooke fashion, not by throwing, but by stomping.
and poor jada, well, dropped her balloon again...and this time did not survive.
...but a good old stomp is still in order!!!
i could learn a little lesson from that...sometimes things don't work out as planned, but there's always a way to cherish and enjoy. and maybe just stomp on the not so good with joy.

Wow. That looks like FUN! And hello, do they make those boots in my size? I want some! In every color!
What a great idea! I'm going to have to remember this one.
Love that lesson, too. Kids have a lot to teach us grownups sometimes!

That looks fun! but, my question is... "left over from your high school girls night"... do tell!! ;)

oh and I just read something this morning that this reminds me of too... Beth Moore was saying that when our pride gets stepped on, we should ask God to just go ahead and stomp on the thing!

Love when kids are just happy to 'be' no matter what's going on (usually). A good stomp makes it all fun!!! I think we should do that too!!

Looks like fun. How do you get shaving cream into the balloons?
I like your last sentence the most, 'just stomp on the not so good with joy'
The pictures show how much fun they had.

random acts...GNO

over at GNO, there's a few of us who decided to challenge ourselves last week to perform a random act of kindness.   i talked with my girls and hubs about what we could do... we reserve some funds each month out of our giving to put towards a current or urgent need that we find.  i think it's important to let the kids see how we give as family...and they should be part of that decision too . as we were talking, and eating chinese...come on, you know there would be eating...i open my fortune cookie.  and this is it!! i was out getting a few minutes of alone time and decided to pay hubs forward by getting jiffy lube to do the oil change.  while i was there, i remembered how hard it was being a single mom.  i remembered that the little things, like oil changes, suddenly became bigger things and honestly, more expensive things.  *light bulb!!!* thomas rang me up for my oil change and asked if they had any scheduled appointments that i could pay for.  he looked at me a little odd...

sadness

on the way home from DD {{bc apparently there was NO preschool today for jk...it's no prob, really...we just rushed around and scrambled and got in the car and then when we got there and there was no school...well, there were tears...thus DD}} , there came a moment of sincere sadness in my heart. jk: " mommy, i want to look like brookie" "why sweetie? you are the perfect jada" jk: "i don't like my brown skin. i want peach skin like brookie" i just sank. does that not make ur heart want to break? a 3 yo is struggling already with her skin being different. then, this happened: brooke: "jada, god made you and he loves you. he does it all right the very first time" then, i think my heart grew three sizes . jada threw a big smile up on her face and said, "ok. god loves me" now, if we all could just do that. god loves us...he doesn't make mistakes...he makes perfect works of art. sometimes there are scratches in the art.

tuesday tribute---for tuesday

go blog yourself has been on my reading list for quite sometime...and so i really came to love little tuesday whitt and her whole sweet fam and became involved in praying for them in tuesday's battle with that stinky neuroblastoma . tuesday's parents are totally amazing...they inspire me! although tuesday went to play with jesus not so long ago, there have been so many people that are changed because of the courage and strength and honesty of the whitt family. on the day of celebration of tuesday's life, a number of folks who couldn't make it out to the funeral, took their kids on a 'wagie ride', which was one of tuesday's fav things. we all posted up our pics...shared our experiences with each other...and hugged our kiddos a little tighter. my kiddos wagie ride is here . from that precious little tuesday and her honorary wagie ride, a blog spawned...of course...and it is dedicated to nothing more than, in their words, "to keep track of lives touc
