everyone knows you don’t slouch striped socks!

Today has been such crazy day! The wonderful children woke us up at 6 am. Yup 6 am! Honor went back to sleep after nursing, but Eden was up and roaring to watch a woobie and drink some juice. At 8 Jim woke me back up out of a dead sleep and I had to hurry and get some clothes on and take him to church. Now that we are worship leader-less, Jim has taken on a whole bunch of responsibilities and had to be there early.

After droping him off we started off for home and I decided to stop by walmart to pick up some ingredents for pasta salad for the picnic later after church. Eden was still in her red, white and blue jammys and she got called a boy, but I am getting over it.

When we got home, Honor had to eat and Eden finished her Elmo video she started earlier. I tried to get ready as fast as I could while cooking noodles and listening to a screaming-fit-baby. We all surprisingly got out the door on time and made it to church before the first service was even out. This gave me time to feed Honor again.

Church went well, the music sounded really good and I wasn’t nervous singing, which I thought I would be. We then rushed home where I finished my pasta salad, got changed and packed back into the car. With two stops for gas and drinks respectively, we made it to the “kite day” picnic.

I recieved several compliments on the pasta salad and there wasn’t much left to bring home. Eden had fun playing with Alannah at the park and Honor liked to swing. Alannah is much braver than Eden on the play ground, I think that Eden inherited some of my claustrophobia because she gets all freaked out in the tube slides.

Jim cannot fly a kite. At least the $2.99 Alien one from Rite Aid. But it did do some interesting nose dives. The funniest part of the day was when Jim took off running, trying to get the kite in the air with Honor jiggling in the backpack. Somebodys Barbie kite got tangled up with ours and a dog got ahold of it and drug it off.

Everybody is now naping and I think I will take the peaceful opportunity to knit.
