I knew one of them would snatch her up when I was least expecting. Well Facebook, you've got a good girl now...treat her right.

NO</p> <p>We’re so spoiled because we live SO close to everything.  More than 5 minutes in the car is apparently FOREVER to the boys.  It’s ok, nothing a little music turned up won’t fix :)</p> <p>The pumpkin patch here is fantastic.  There is a ton of stuff to do for the kids.  Check it out:</p> <p>We went down a huge slide</p> <p><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_4VIPDqT2TiU/StKjht6iVoI/AAAAAAAAB6I/-ZtK7mgbToU/s1600-h/DSC_3270%5B2%5D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px" title="DSC_3270" border="0" alt="DSC_3270" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgJtPpLOreZbmYdi9bmY_Lbr4jJU7i0QzfBxK8ppsl3zOLAeL-6eE1NjjDQrA5v3jk74lyBvVNMIfN3-0x4O9y6ydd8a0p7iyUfWjqiyF0D8XM2_IeEdPc7noovnjRBBLOv_s9/?imgmax=800" width="308" height="206" /></a> <a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_4VIPDqT2TiU/StKjkGH3D4I/AAAAAAAAB6Q/AO8Qvi-sQok/s1600-h/DSC_3271%5B2%5D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px" title="DSC_3271" border="0" alt="DSC_3271" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_4VIPDqT2TiU/StKjk0FJCAI/AAAAAAAAB6U/Px9vrzWTuD0/DSC_3271_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="308" height="206" /></a> <a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_4VIPDqT2TiU/StKjnONNS0I/AAAAAAAAB6Y/wNgJUICzES4/s1600-h/DSC_3275%5B2%5D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px" title="DSC_3275" border="0" alt="DSC_3275" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_4VIPDqT2TiU/StKjoM8Y6JI/AAAAAAAAB6c/WgnQ4rr4DJU/DSC_3275_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="308" height="206" /></a> Visited the petting zoo there</p> <p></p> <p></p> <p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwWEfrSaS5JQmO1uCGrKnMzBVFrpqM7VXZHHyLzDKFajiC4fOZqX_EuCNyDCbFDsWQVgDGGGQlDrCHKjWKcZaU-cdjHOU1r66Aqioon6pDfTzwr5PzbbQCIH7ZiZpYWh2yh5je/s1600-h/DSC_3300%5B2%5D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px" title="DSC_3300" border="0" alt="DSC_3300" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_4VIPDqT2TiU/StKjrd9EphI/AAAAAAAAB6o/NRnKcQwC39E/DSC_3300_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="308" height="462" /></a> <a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_4VIPDqT2TiU/StKjs2615fI/AAAAAAAAB6s/lcR7lmyyjsQ/s1600-h/DSC_3308%5B2%5D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px" title="DSC_3308" border="0" alt="DSC_3308" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqTO6MNtnS2bovZ85m5Vm8QI61FHFU9djiRqWUM9tWqx0pvDZieFM3s6Ze3L26yz3Bhw4yVgNAjOLyGqKO6rIJ-p-tmF8vV5Rp7Sgg3JEt6tRBLmdSXw6_il4JKsyKphV20zbd/?imgmax=800" width="308" height="462" /></a> </p> <p></p> <p>This picture cracks me up!

Gees.</p> <p>Ok now I am way off topic.</p> <p>Still with me?</p> <p>Back to topic here.  Getting up early has it’s benefits.  Like actually being semi-productive in the mornings.  Call me crazy, but it’s nice to have a load of laundry done, email checked and kitchen cleaned before all the kids are up.  </p> <p>Gavin is on fall break now.  I am sure things will get back to <em>normal </em>again tomorrow :)</p> <p>An since this post really turned into such a random ramble anyways.  Here is what we have been doing lately.</p> <p>Gavin is working on a school project.  Any guesses on what that entails???</p> <p><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_4VIPDqT2TiU/Ss1gFjij7rI/AAAAAAAAB5g/cdQkr1mp0J8/s1600-h/DSC_3219%5B2%5D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px" title="DSC_3219" border="0" alt="DSC_3219" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_4VIPDqT2TiU/Ss1gHbgJ_oI/AAAAAAAAB5k/AJSRyMjcc3Q/DSC_3219_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="308" height="462" /></a> </p> <p>We lost power the other night for an hour or so.  My camera was the only electronic device that was charged and working.  Guess what I did for awhile.  </p> <p><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_4VIPDqT2TiU/Ss1gIV03fSI/AAAAAAAAB5o/TQwEMrte01I/s1600-h/DSC_3016%5B2%5D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px" title="DSC_3016" border="0" alt="DSC_3016" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjglwNArxAc7X02-5AI58WI-1vodaGWijhqaIlDivySwbyB8Q62AHkuROBGUSK6ADfoxpRB76nHIuDwb_eXNneinvEhTA0Ga3sDIMq7ngrsF474NPHRp6I-Ws3gU5RcUORNmD4T/?imgmax=800" width="308" height="462" /></a><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_4VIPDqT2TiU/Ss1gKMm0KKI/AAAAAAAAB5w/BUS8C6t1Alc/s1600-h/DSC_3030%5B2%5D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px" title="DSC_3030" border="0" alt="DSC_3030" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3l9fvBP7KTXXeBmCcFPOawPJyoUMq0UZpsTSNl6u1E6PQTnwA4FZwW008xYf_0ODW20eirtgZycEE_oDWjBk9w3HTJGnrpVs2c1pVyEa2jb50aa1aYZrO7g4wirx60Uq7bmE1/?imgmax=800" width="308" height="462" /></a>Did you know that if you did a kid scissors, you can keep them busy for almost an hour???  And guess what?  No one cut anything they weren’t suppose to!</p> <p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8X8NDYHkVFOAaZbUC7wlcpTAZkKZexNVkoAvOjVNPGXched6t2s8uImX2FNz0UChMvL0QtdtPXmHwW0tWO7QH_O03cl-coxm-rjA26iW47ICOC8E89V1jWAOJIYGgUSx4c44T/s1600-h/DSC_3216%5B3%5D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px" title="DSC_3216" border="0" alt="DSC_3216" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_4VIPDqT2TiU/Ss1gNg8i11I/AAAAAAAAB58/7UOGyg8e7wI/DSC_3216_thumb%5B1%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="412" height="275" /></a></p> <p> Keep them busy while I did this…..<a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_4VIPDqT2TiU/Ss1gPnW3TPI/AAAAAAAAB6A/qjpCbqwjYvE/s1600-h/DSC_3217%5B3%5D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px" title="DSC_3217" border="0" alt="DSC_3217" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_4VIPDqT2TiU/Ss1gQ_18tHI/AAAAAAAAB6E/XE7sp_YwjI4/DSC_3217_thumb%5B1%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="414" height="276" /></a> Took forever to get organized, but it pays off big time.  </p> <p>Last time I went to the store, I saved $58.00.  I spent $0.51 and got $3 back in printable coupons (Catalina's) plus a coupon for a free dozen eggs.</p> <p>Now it’s way past my bedtime.  </p> The Brown familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14917278644052608045noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37152276.post-69204423240400245472009-10-06T20:19:00.000-07:002009-10-06T20:43:11.178-07:0010.06<p>Wowee!

Look at a million different kitchens online for months to make sure that you know exactly what you like…..</p> <p>-1. <strike>Pester</strike> Have discussions with your husband until you <strike>convince</strike> <strike>him</strike> agree that it’ll look great. (not that I’ve ever seem a single black kitchen in my real life…but still…..)</p> <p>1. Take off all cabinet doors and dispose of all the yucky brass hardware. BUT save those hinges and spray paint them black. Those suckers are expensive!</p> <p>2. Sand the surfaces just enough to “rough” it up. Be ready to answer questions from silly neighbors (like, “Are you sure you know what you are doing?” haha. If he only knew…..) </p> <p>Make sure that you wipe them down with a damp cloth (or tack cloth) to get all the dust off. Sawdust + paint = not cool<a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_4VIPDqT2TiU/SpXuKaIe1GI/AAAAAAAABxQ/ZkyD1NrlzMo/s1600-h/DSC_0586%5B3%5D.jpg"><img style="border: 0px none ; display: inline;" title="DSC_0586" alt="DSC_0586" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_4VIPDqT2TiU/SpXuLsB7FtI/AAAAAAAABxU/IU8Qvc3HXKo/DSC_0586_thumb%5B1%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="402" border="0" height="268" /></a></p> <p>3. Go to Home Depot and buy their enamel undercover primer and paint. This stuff is awesome. Have the primer tinted black….or blue….which is how dark they can get it apparently. This stuff is hard as a rock. You can’t scratch the finish off even if your trying. </p> <p>You can see the upper cabinets have already taken a coat of primer and the lower ones are on their first coat of black.</p> <p><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_4VIPDqT2TiU/SpXuNIngE-I/AAAAAAAABxY/RpPa1YEGrQ8/s1600-h/DSC_0593%5B3%5D.jpg"><img style="border: 0px none ; display: inline;" title="DSC_0593" alt="DSC_0593" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJq2Y2ukVcOyPsCCQ_4wbr_oWQO4WnKD111mVkJTSGpEGvYjWbB7GtuqHO-6AKNqqMc-i9uDSpjrNFVqRVHgG2Vp1z08gqotLCN4Krh3acgFAQGdltvc8Rlgfzb5JkHpiD3LrY/?imgmax=800" width="407" border="0" height="271" /></a></p> <p>4. Recruit lots of help in painting. It gets a little boring by yourself.</p> <p>5. Use a brush to get into the fine corners (a good brush is so worth the investment!) and a foam roller to get a smooth finish. DO NOT go over your paint when it starts to cure (dry).

Coat all cabinet doors, drawers, and base cabinets with one coat of primer and at least 2 coats of paint. It was most likely three when all was said and done. Give it plenty of time to dry between coats. Spend days looking at open cabinets :)</p> <p>8. We added bead board and an extra piece of molding to the bottom and sides of the cabinets for some extra flair. I think it makes the kitchen!</p> <p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixompOdRDOHtxuHGh24E614IKlfBCrjN1T6r7G_9n_0028rRhPF1Zh32q6S6pPo6yMDXz8R2HJTrVBAWDY1xhk3pyqTlZXc0Iek-WBt3TpBm6Bf-r-D3s6WMwwqCuzImws5hGx/s1600-h/DSC_1313%5B4%5D.jpg"><img style="border: 0px none ; display: inline;" title="DSC_1313" alt="DSC_1313" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_4VIPDqT2TiU/SpXubEV3pmI/AAAAAAAAByE/3chR_y0Zn0s/DSC_1313_thumb%5B2%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="295" border="0" height="442" /></a><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_4VIPDqT2TiU/SpXubyqwEgI/AAAAAAAAByI/WFlyZOnhOnU/s1600-h/DSC_1306%5B11%5D.jpg"><img style="border: 0px none ; display: inline; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px;" title="DSC_1306" alt="DSC_1306" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_4VIPDqT2TiU/SpXucz_-ZtI/AAAAAAAAByM/amIjjdhVj2E/DSC_1306_thumb%5B9%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="294" border="0" height="440" /></a></p> <p>9. Hang your doors back on with your newly spray painted hinges. Put on your new bling…um…your hardware.</p> <p>10. Leave cabinets doors open because your husband insist they may stick if you don’t. Leave them open until you can no longer handle looking at your messy cabinets. </p> <p>11.

1. Here is the 1 x 2 going up to help “support” our creation….it will help support the boards….that lay on the crown…that makes our shelf. <br />
Wow! I sound like a nursery rhyme!<br />

Hang the crown just like you would from the ceiling. Only nailing the bottom half. Those boards in the previous picture are now behind the top of the crown.<br />

3. Used these boards painted white to create our shelf. When set on top of the crown it is nailed to it and into the 1 x 2 I talked about earlier. Makes a nice steady shelf. Still with me??<br />

4. Paint before you hang your vertical strips. MUCH EASIER!!!<br />
We used lattice found here for our strips: <a href="http://www.lowes.com/lowes/lkn?action=productDetail&productId=5990-1487-L%2026710PINE&lpage=none" title="http://www.lowes.com/lowes/lkn?action=productDetail&productId=5990-1487-L%2026710PINE&lpage=none">http://www.lowes.com/lowes/lkn?action=productDetail&productId=5990-1487-L%2026710PINE&lpage=none</a> . NO MDF CUTTING FOR US! These come in 8 ft and 10 ft sections at our lowes and are perfect for conforming to the wall. Since they are only 1/4 inch thick, they also butted up nicely against our baseboards. We choose to add a horizontal strip (of lattice) under the crown for a good transition between the two. It really adds to the the look if you ask me.<br />
<a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_4VIPDqT2TiU/Slgv5YseZ6I/AAAAAAAABlg/JutS7LJ8VWk/s1600-h/DSC_0226-1%5B4%5D.jpg"><img alt="DSC_0226-1" border="0" height="266" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_4VIPDqT2TiU/Slgv6YuH2CI/AAAAAAAABlk/3KUxB-U-6O8/DSC_0226-1_thumb%5B2%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" style="border: 0px none; display: inline;" title="DSC_0226-1" width="400" /></a> <br />
5. You can see the horizontal strip in this picture. Here my husband is using a paint stick to mark the width between strips….just to make sure we liked how we centered then and that they didn’t hit any outlets. It was the perfect tool to get accurate widths!<br />
<a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_4VIPDqT2TiU/Slgv7W7MchI/AAAAAAAABlo/IXSY9k7TbLY/s1600-h/DSC_0228-1%5B4%5D.jpg"><img alt="DSC_0228-1" border="0" height="263" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_4VIPDqT2TiU/Slgv74489sI/AAAAAAAABls/xhhV94R50Nc/DSC_0228-1_thumb%5B2%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" style="border: 0px none; display: inline;" title="DSC_0228-1" width="395" /></a> <br />
6. Boards up now! He used 2 in brad nails for the bottom of the crown (to get into the studs) and 1 in brads for the top shelf and the vertical boards. You can see that how that 1/4 x 4 x 4 boards lays here. It wasn’t nailed in yet. But, caulk and wood filler will be your best friend :)<br />
<a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_4VIPDqT2TiU/Slgv832Y0DI/AAAAAAAABlw/R2XKy-N2EeM/s1600-h/DSC_0230-1%5B5%5D.jpg"><img alt="DSC_0230-1" border="0" height="266" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_4VIPDqT2TiU/Slgv9dDa1FI/AAAAAAAABl0/fkxP0c9-vP0/DSC_0230-1_thumb%5B3%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" style="border: 0px none; display: inline;" title="DSC_0230-1" width="399" /></a><br />
7. Almost done. It was a little tedious painting those strips. I would recommend hitting them with spray paint before you put them up and then given them a coat of your glossy trim paint when their up….wish I would have thought of that sooner :) Once everything is painted, you caulk, wood fill and touch-up. <br />
<a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_4VIPDqT2TiU/Slgv-sD35sI/AAAAAAAABl4/YKdkO0xTul4/s1600-h/DSC_0235-1%5B4%5D.jpg"><img alt="DSC_0235-1" border="0" height="267" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRVpTFrDFJ-25PVSav1M11PVtUEjtd5V8UjC4jmIFQ9mSYcHeMh1bsOk_yTDbaGJ1OIPzBjIsKU0s3VWM8oUfeZNOUxFJvLccHv5R37x0eooPzOzk5EBbOh0WyJCJTFUFp_r1d/?imgmax=800" style="border: 0px none; display: inline;" title="DSC_0235-1" width="401" /></a><br />
8. All done! Supplies cost was as followed: <br />
Vertical boards were 4.90 each. We used 7 of them. They come in 8 and 10 ft sections. We used 10ft so that we could cut then in half (or less than 1/2 in our case) 5 1/2 were used for the vertical strips, 1 1/2 ish were used for the horizontal strip below the crown.<br />
Crown was $19 for a 16ft piece. We only needed 13ft. Anyone need a 3ft piece of crown???<br />
1/4 x 4 x 4 boards were less than 5 each. We used 3 1/4 of them. <br />
1 x 2 boards were 2 something each. We used 2 of them<br />
You’ll also need caulk, a saw and a tape measure. A laser level is a great idea too!<br />
Total cost with trim paint (cause we were out) was a little less than $100.<br />

When we bought this house 3 years ago it was boring. Clean, great yard, good size....but no character. So for 3 years we have been sprucing her up with paint and flooring and flowers.....<br />
But then there was this beast in the living room. She was comfortable and held alot of people! Like 12! But it was so hard to even think about decorating around her. I mean, she took up the entire room. So we painted the room and left it. I hadn’t even hung curtains. It was a sad little room. As you can see, a dumping ground :)<br />
<a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_4VIPDqT2TiU/SlX2k1eCcgI/AAAAAAAABkg/-8XStenyT30/s1600-h/IMG_1399%5B3%5D.jpg"><img alt="IMG_1399" border="0" height="304" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_4VIPDqT2TiU/SlX2l4Zs5HI/AAAAAAAABkk/VCQxwRKtQmA/IMG_1399_thumb%5B1%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" style="border: 0px none; display: inline;" title="IMG_1399" width="404" /></a> <br />
So we saved and then sold. Sold that sofa for more than we purchased it for 7 years ago! (we did purchase it used….but still :)<br />
<a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_4VIPDqT2TiU/SlX2oMl1KfI/AAAAAAAABko/Nd7nAxB292E/s1600-h/IMG_2031%5B3%5D.jpg"><img alt="IMG_2031" border="0" height="303" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPeShvwmg08ye9FxLoQ6nNyb4G0ZCaIqd7c87A8yoFo7rmK-lAg88apCaKujcFtUIFl4NShNdeCGG-8J17wplsvcFLt-ZpDdQfRhlBiy9q2zqiF4aTosJ-MNtmCuRKfMDj2rOL/?imgmax=800" style="border: 0px none; display: inline;" title="IMG_2031" width="403" /></a> And bought this….obviously still in the store here.<br />
BUT………….now what???<br />
Saw these and got a fabulous idea <br />

So off to the store I went. Having an idea of what I wanted. I am sure the guy in the trim department loved me. Four trips (and a few returns) and we got all the supplies we needed.<br />
FINDING THE MATERIAL was the hardest part. Seriously.<br />
JUST FOR FUN.<br />
When we bought this house (previous owner stuff)<br />

What do you think??? It took less than 6 hours total and painting it was 3 of it! It will still be a dumping ground…But at least it’s a pretty dumping ground!<br />

He's been playing baseball (as you know) but as the season has went on, he just couldn't get on base. He got on in the first few games, but the kids get better and he would either strike out or get thrown out. It was starting to get to his confidence. Guess what? He got on base twice tonight! He even scored a run. It was so exciting. He is improving so much and as him momma... I was so proud of his accomplishment.</div><p>And......</p><p>I am sure that I shared this. I can't believe I haven't.....See that pin on his shirt???<br /></p><p>Gavin was chosen as the eagle award recipient in his class this year. It is an award given to one boy and one girl in each class who has shown Christ-like character and leadership throughout the entire year. It's a huge honor and says so much about him as a person. You always hope that the things that you teach your kids carry out into real...well you know. It just makes me proud that he chooses to respect others and show love to everyone.<br /></p><p><a href="http://s245.photobucket.com/albums/gg56/jnarkawi/?action=view&current=sign-3.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i245.photobucket.com/albums/gg56/jnarkawi/sign-3.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a></p>The Brown familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14917278644052608045noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37152276.post-4747258366999028352009-06-08T20:30:00.000-07:002009-06-08T20:37:09.000-07:00It's been forever since I have share pics of the boys....Unfortunately I am too tired (read: too lazy) to make an entire post at the moment. But here's a good one.....says so much about things that go on around these parts these days. <p><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjixcpBoycOm6dl1WUMt8iLlG67Ya7YNddOkKE5giRq_6b_xsoPTe4yjjypVt_vyvti-g-PTQtxvtQsXiAnG03lYo-XF0-k9WKxp4yJOPuVF3ad7wS12XDdqIgFVcmU0kYWTg9L/s1600-h/IMG_1969.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjixcpBoycOm6dl1WUMt8iLlG67Ya7YNddOkKE5giRq_6b_xsoPTe4yjjypVt_vyvti-g-PTQtxvtQsXiAnG03lYo-XF0-k9WKxp4yJOPuVF3ad7wS12XDdqIgFVcmU0kYWTg9L/s320/IMG_1969.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5345166477439428850" border="0" /></a></p>The Brown familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14917278644052608045noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37152276.post-82083164106642016782009-06-08T20:11:00.000-07:002009-06-08T20:30:36.908-07:0005.08<p>We survived our first week off of school! Things are starting to hit a groove with the kids. Today me and Gavin made a list of the things we wanted to do before school started again. Here are some of the many things we came up with:</p><p>1. trip to the zoo</p><p>2. plant green beans</p><p>3. wash the cars</p><p>4. make a lemonade stand</p><p>5. have a sleepover</p><p>6. go to the beach!</p><p>7. have a family game night</p><p>8. dig for fossils</p><p>9. stay up late to use the telescope<br /></p><p>10. create our own holiday</p><p>Pretty creative, huh? There are many, many more! I think we will pick a one or two each week and see what we can do to accomplish them. Some may take a little more creativity to accomplish :)<br /></p><p>We are working on developing godly characteristics in our kids so we decided that this summer would be a great time to start learning a new character quality every few days. We'll work on honesty, love, gentleness, self-control, attentiveness, courtesy, fairness, generosity, tactfulness....etc.....there are so many. It'll be great for us parents too! We need to be reminded of the things we should be doing...but aren't.</p><p>We decided that our first character quality would be creativeness......it means doing something in a new way. Today, we worked on being creative with our time this summer (the list above) and were creative in making up a new game this afternoon. </p><p>This week we are also memorizing I Timothy 4:12...</p><p>Do not let anyone look down on you because you are young, but be an example for other believers in your speech, behavior, love, faithfulness, and purity.</p><p>If you want to start something like this with your kids....shoot me an email...I have some great resources to get started.....</p><p>In other news, we are planning a trip up north this weekend for a Cubs game. Jason is soooo excited! It's gonna be so much fun to hang out with great friends. Praying for NO rain!</p><p>Not much else to report on. I just made a huge purchase....a VERY stressful decision that I hope works out like I hope. I'll share more when it comes in! I am so excited for this one.....<br /></p><p><a href="http://s245.photobucket.com/albums/gg56/jnarkawi/?action=view&current=sign-3.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i245.photobucket.com/albums/gg56/jnarkawi/sign-3.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a></p>The Brown familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14917278644052608045noreply@blogger.com0
