Field Trip

 Good morning family and friends!  It has been a CRAZY week here.  Monday we were trying to get everything done from the weekend, and 2 days worth of school work- since Tuesdays we have enrichment classes more than half the day.  Tuesday we have classes.  Wednesday was going great.  Big Sister was doing 4 pages(both sides) of math and doing very well I might add.  We had done 2 days of school work that day also so we could go on a field trip Thursday.  We get done, have lunch late, get everything gathered up- get strapped in the car and...........nothing.  It would not crank.  I checked everything, made sure I turned it all off.  Tried again.  Nothing.   Well, actually it made like a little coughing noise- a noise I have heard in the past.  It sounded like the starter.  SO I called Big Daddy and when he got home we took it to be repaired.  Thankfully both car seats, barely, fit in the convertible so we do have wheels.  As I was putting everything in & strapping it all safely I turned to Big Daddy and said "sports cars were not made for families.".. Keep in mind we purchased the car in 1994.  It was 7 years old then.  It is German engineering so it will far outlast us probably.  Gotta LOVE those Germans!

Our field trip is today and while everyone is still asleep I have made lunches.  Enough for probably 5 people.  Thanks Brigitte!!!!!  Love you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We are going to the pumpkin patch.  We will get "pie" pumpkins and go on a hay-ride.  We may even be able to go thru their petting zoo.  There is a gift shop also.  It will be fun.  The BEST part will be to see my children, and see how much they enjoy it.  It is truly amazing being a parent.  The BEST, well second best after the Holy Ghost, thing I have ever done!  I should have done it sooner.............but then again maybe I would not have appreciated it as much.

Okay, the information you have been waiting for...........  Erin will be praise singing, up in front, this Friday night at 7:30 pm, then the children's choir will sing a little later.  That is CST for those on EST.  AN hour ahead Mommy!  Saturday evening, the same time her choir will again sing and then on Sunday afternoon 2:00 pm CST her choir will sing but before them her little girls group"The Gemettes" will being doing sign language to a song.  It is going to be great!!!!  I CAN'T wait.  I am the proud Momma I assure you!  For those that can please at least get on-line and watch the singing and signing: www.tpcmemphis.org.  It will bless you.  Also please pray for our friend Christine from our Bible study group.  She is supposed to come to Children's revival.  She NEEDS to be there.  Okay- I have to go.  Little people will be waking and I must call to check on my little friend Janet who was put in the hospital last night.  Please pray for her complete healing.  She has had sooooo many health problems in the last 5 years.  Even had all but 1 inch of her colon removed; but I serve a God who is THE GREAT PHYSICIAN.

Love you guys!!!!!!
