I LOVE lazy days like today-with nothing that we HAD to do. Just stuff we wanted to do. Which turned out to be a great family day. This morning we talked about how as a family we needed to have more discipline. The kids thought that was a bad word. So we talked about how it means to have control, teaching good behavior, etc. and we came up with four things we need to work on: Be patient, Laugh more, Ignore the little stuff, and spend more time with Jesus. Then we each made signs to hang in strategic locations to help us remember. Wyatt learned a new praise song on his guitar so we all sang together-I love moments like that. We were also able to do a video Skype call with my family and see new baby Annie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That was amazing. She is beautiful! Then the kids all played out in our little inflatable pool. It was super hot and that helped a little. Garth and Wyatt took apart his amp and figured out the problem, got a new fuse and fixed it!! Yeah! The kids helped me make homemade playdough-easy peasy Japanesy!
Recipe: 1 cup hot water. Dissolve one Kool-Aid packet in it. Stir in 1 cup flour, ½ cup salt, and ½ T oil. Knead it on a little bit of flour and it is good to go.
After a yummy dinner of French toast from homemade bread we all watched the movie Cars and reminisced about how we were able to see it in the theater in New York a few summers ago with Garth’s family. That was so much fun! We miss those family reunions and connecting with everybody. Cale’s favorite part from the movie tonight was:
Doc Hudson: “Well, I didn’t have much of a choice. Mater didn’t get to say good-bye.”
Mater-“Good-bye! OK, now I’m good!”
It is so funny when Cale says it. On that note, I should say good-bye as well.
Love you all-
Rachie
