Cannot believe today was our Last Saturday for the summer!!
We spent the afternoon at the fire station...boys LOVED it of course...the last open house that we went to there I had to go with friends and I could barely walk around it...but it was fun today just 100 degrees TOO hot!!
We met the teacher on Thursday, and R has since told us he is SO excited for school to start. Especially for PE (the little crazy of course said that right?) ...he even told me that he expects me to write him notes and put them in his lunch box...hahaa...umm thanks for spoiling the momma surprises...but I guess he knows me too well..he's too much. Had orientation at L's school Thursday as well and man I cannot believe how far he has come! I am so proud and cannot wait to see what my baby will accomplish this year!
Wednesday night was a Back to School Engage the Spirit at our church. an AMAZING night with my boys...prayer over them for the school year, for our schools, and R took a stand with the other kids. One of our pastor's spoke of being warriors in their schools, of telling people about God, and knowing that when there seems to be no hope in others that we have HOPE because we have God. Well he called for any kids that wanted to stand up and be one of those kids in the school to come forward...and R looked at me and said I have to do that! So I asked if he knew what it meant, and I got the "of course I do silly" and I let him go up front. On the car ride home I asked if they had a great night and R said flat out, "I am not afraid because I have God with me all the time. I know that if there is no hope in my school that there is Hope because I know God. I want to tell other people that God is always with them and that they too can be happy like me!"
...L piped up with..Yeah you know what God keeps you safe all the time...and R and him talked about God...R mentioned how he is 3 people (WOW I didn't know he had gotten it but he schooled me ;) )...and I mentioned that if he wanted to tell people about God then I was so proud of him and loved his decisions. Then we talked about a trip to Austin that is coming up at church and he said he would REALLY love to do it. So I have been praying about the mission trip and if the boys and I should take it so more to come about that soon!
On another note. I got the ad campaign. So off to Dallas I go on the 3rd!!
Something else that has happened recently is that I reconnected with a lost family member. My uncle John was a huge part of the better part of the first years on this planet. No matter the fact that he was taken away from me early on when I was 8, he is and will always be family to me. Thanks to the awesomeness of the internet I found him again. It is amazing to talk to him and I am praying that soon we will meet again face to face and we can meet each others families!
Tomorrow night we're doing a big dinner tomorrow night to celebrate school! I let the boys plan out the menu... R got to pick the appetizer with the meal and L picked the dessert...so of course it's mozzerella sticks and chocolate cupcakes...and I am making Lasagna....R has been asking for it for well over 6 months now...so I am going to finally oblige!
I also got accepted back to substitute..YAY!! So glad for that small blessing.
So that is my tad bit of news for now....
