This & That

* The oldest two boys are studying "History of God's Kingdom" by Sonlight in their homeschool curriculum. Interesting stuff and good for them to learn what they believe and why as they read about everything from Rome to China to modern day revivals.
* Greg had four teeth extracted today, well, shards of teeth that formerly had root canals and the crowns fell off or whatever. He's in a lot of pain but will heal quickly.
* The Bible School students spent the weekend helping out at an evangelistic crusade led by a Korean evangelist. A fight over the flag occurred after the last meeting (friendly fight, that is).
* We've been asked to be on the leadership team at our church, but we're not sure if we have time. Still praying/thinking about it.
* Our youngest kid and all his friends have had lots of water balloon fights in the yard these past few days. So much fun, but definitely messy.
* Oldest son got braces last week. The total cost including treatment is $220. That's amazing.
* We had rain for almost two weeks straight. The sun came out yesterday and we were able to wash tons of clothes. Our house stunk like teenage boys! Now it smells like bleach and fabric softener.
* The town "Nut Festival" is getting ready to start. This means loud music into the early mornings, a fair on the town square, and something to walk around and look at.

None of the above were worthy of its own blog post, but there you have it - after five years of blogging, our first "This & That".

Well, I found it interesting. I like hearing about your everyday life.
Glad the sun is back out for you.

Are you kidding...none of it worth its own blog...A Nut Fair...not worth its own blog. NPR could probably do an entire hour on a nut fair. I mean...what kind of nut. Crazy people? Almonds? Who comes to the nut fair? Why do they come...besides something to look at.
Who are the people behind the nut fair? How have their lives been tied so closely to nuts? Have their children's lives been effected by their connection to nuts? Really this could be quit the blog on its own...maybe even a documentary. Now the water ballon fight I am not so sure of. You all take care and enjoy looking at the stuff at the nut fest!

You are RIGHT, Connie! I stand corrected, and when the Nut Fair begins I will make sure to take lots of pictures and explain it more in detail. Are you sure you don't want to hear about the water balloon fight as well? It was quite the event!
