Parties, Progeny, & Prayer

Well, we had a good time yesterday. But then we do fratenize with some peculiar people, the likes of which are pictured below. I seriously wish everyday was a holiday and we could just hang out and play games and talk and eat while our kids ran around naked in the backyard creating water parks.


Ok, so I'm changing the subject. My girl is a graduate! What a stinkin' ordeal just to get outta preschool. Don't even get Graham started. But the kids had fun and felt special, and that was the point, I think? Season was a cutie in her poodle skirt, and I was quite proud of her for getting on the stage and actually "performing" for others. (One of my fears is that my children will be painfully shy, like my sister and I were.) I am both excited and nervous about "real" school starting. I know once she gets in the school groove, she will love it and be an awesome student, but I'm so going to miss her. Season and Bubba at her school party.

Season - class of 2021


Grayson told me that Jesus and God live in his belly button. And then he held his belly and said "OOOWWWWWW!" When I asked him what was wrong, he said, "God bites." hehehe so cute. He has also known for several months that he is having his birthday party (in July) at the swimming pool. He has terrorized the whole family and also random people at times talking about it. His favorite question as of late is "When my birthday be open?" And what an interesting ride is potty training a boy. We have peed so many places outside lately (And when I say we I mean Grayson with a little help from me), and I am beginning to think it might be slightly bad decorum. Yes, I think I have just made that decision, no more peeing outside unless it is in my own backyard, or the grandparents' backyard, or maybe a friend's backyard, and okay the ballpark, that's okay, right? Look, I am just happy that he is doing it.


Speaking of my children, I want to share some scripture that I have somewhat paraphrased to pray specifically for my children. Colossians 1:9-14 -
Since the day you were born we have not stopped praying for you and asking God to fill you with the knowledge of His will through all spiritual wisdom and understanding. We pray this so that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and may please Him in every way; bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God being strengthened with all power according to His glorious might so that you may have great endurance and patience and joyfully give thanks to the Father who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of the saints in the kingdom of light for He has rescued you from the dominion of darkness and brought you into the kingdom of the Son He loves, in whom you have redemption Amen. I'm claiming it.

haha...naked waterpark...cookin' out...haulin' sheetrock...burgers...4-0 in volleyball (someone might suggest they thought you were better than that, but not me).

I must confess that Isha told me about the preschool graduation, so I took every opportunity to mention to Graham that our preschool costs only $50/month for 2 half days and that our graduation program was work-free for the parents with a songs, diplomas, caps-n-gowns, a slideshow of the year's activities, and a reception with cookies and punch. Of course, he's just Graham, and says "Man!"

See,I was taking the highroad and not mentioning the heated competition. leave it to you to bring it up and rub it in my face. Hey, atleast Isha got to be on the winning side this time.
And I have been blessed to hear Graham say so much more than just "Man!" to me about it.

lol well yeah I dont think I get to "claim" being on the winning team because come on how much did I really have to do with the whole winning part? lol not much. I would like to add that Grayson was crackin me up though with the peeing outside ...(ahem..like in the empty bubbles bottle then pouring it out and filling it up with water and then DRINKING OUT OF IT!) lol sorry too funny not to share! love you "Summertime" (said as if I was your high school crush) : ) lol muah! Thanks for a great Sunday!

Unknown said...

Is it really the "high road" not mentioning being on the losing end of it? If it makes you feel any better, one of my knees has been tight and a little swollen...

Poor Hope (you know, who has NO brothers-that we know of yet), got an eyeful when Grayson and Judah peed outside at Life Group, lol. I knew the topic would come up at home, and sure enough, it did!

So glad you cleared up the sentence about just who was peeing outside, I was wondering...

... said...

Wow! I am glad graduation is over! I however am thrilled for the change to BIG school! ALL DAY< EVERY DAY! I love my girls, but in smaller doses is a good thing! Let her go argue with someone besides ME! As for peeing outside, Day really enjoys that and she's a girl! "Wee" have only one bathroom so on the rare occasion it is occupied in dire moments!

Will YOU be swimming at Grayson's pool party???

Summer said...

Scott - see you just can't let it go. So, yeah, it does make me feel better to know you suffered a little bit. lol

and Isha I had forgotton about the whole my kid drinking his pee thing. thanks for bringin' it up. we're still working on that. Iloveyoutoo!

Wendy - Isha's daughter was a little freaked about the boys being naked when she was here too. I hadn't even thought about your girls! that's funny. you mean Shane never just takes a leak outside? lol

And yes, Denise, I think I will swim at Grayson's party...maybe, you know depending on what kind of mood I'm in. lol

Summer said...
