We started out by making pizza so when daddy got home from work we could eat!
Then we packed our Operation Christmas Child Shoe boxes (or as our kids refer to them "our shoebox kids") This is such a great way to teach young children about giving to others. Madyson and Aubrie each did a box for a girl there age and then the 4 of us did a box for a little boy. (*adoption side note, we are in prayer that God clearly shows us which path to take, but we are both feeling like its domestic adoption, boy, age 4-7)
After our shoe boxes were packed we watched Toy Story 3! If you remember this, then you know how I feel about this movie!
When the movie was over the girls went to bed, and Todd and I stayed up talking. We were both so excited because we knew what tomorrow was!
Saturday we got up Extremely early!!! We had to get everyone dressed and out of the house by 8 to make our drop off at grandmomma's house, so Todd and I could meet the Braddy's at their church for an Orphan Care Workshop. We got there and had a great time! We learned a lot and made some new friends. Todd left with an overwhelming feeling. You could tell by seeing other men admit that at first, they weren't into the whole adoption idea, then God got to them...now they are there/been there, made him feel so much better.
Saturday was "Toddnoon" we were out with his family dedicated the day to him! He got to pick out his birthday present, get new glasses, all sorts of fun stuff for a man who always gives to us but never ask for things for himself. (his momma did get me a new bag! I love it!! Pink and Orange, my favorite color combo!!)
Sunday was church, here is a picture of my boss (the children's minister) about to go into children's worship to talk about "being unique" yes, he is a fly.
After church we napped, which was LOVELY! then we went out to eat with Todd's mom and stepdad to celebrate Todd's birthday ( a day early)
Monday was work~ Then we went out to dinner with our LifeGroup friends to celebrate Todd's Birthday, Jennifer's Birthday and Eric's Birthday! 3 birthdays 1 on the 7th, 2 on the 8th!
Did you have a busy weekend??
I have also started packing my 'shoebox' and posted about it today! I think that is so great that you are teaching your children at a young age to give to others! Sounds like ya'll had a great family night and weekend!
