Ok, today was great!. My kids were lookin soooo good! (pics included) And we had a really great day.

Last week, I was getting ready to take the kids shoppin for Easter outfits, when they came home from AWANA. The first thing I hear is "Daddy, Mrs Rebecca needs to talk to you." My heart sunk. All I could think is “What did he do now?” Well, as it turns out, he didn’t do anything. Mrs. Rebecca and her husband, Mr. Robert, just wanted to ask if they could take my kids shopping for Easter outfits. At first, I thought about saying no (its that whole charity thing) then I remembered that they can’t have kids. When I think of that, and of the way my kids have kinda wiggled their way into everyone’s hearts, then I know they offered to do it because they wanted to do something for the kids, not because they thought we needed it. So, with that I put my heart at ease and made the arrangements for them to go.

I was glad I did, the kids had so much fun, and came back with so much stuff… A had a nice suit (pin striped), dress shirt, and new dress shoes. B had 2 nice dresses, matching shoes, and a new pair of sandles. They were so happy when they got back, I have never seen them smile so much.

Any way, the kids were so excited that they were up at 6:00 trying to get dressed…I got up around 7:00 and Pearl came by to help with getting B ready (I suck at girl’s hair… still). We took them to Sunday School, then headed off to breakfast (Waffle House J ) That brings us to the service. Pearl and I sat up close cause both A and B had solos today! They were Great!!! This was A’s first solo. I was so proud. It was Amazing Grace (my favorite hymn). He was so nervous, but he toughed it out and got up there and sang away.

After words, we headed off to the park for a few hours of play. That was a lot of fun too. We never did figure out how to get that stupid boomerang to come back to us. We must have tried 100 times or more, and I only made it work 2 times (the sucky part is I threw it differently each time) We had to settle for the usual; baseball, football and such.

All in all, it was a great day! Oh, happy birthday, you. Not sure why I still remember, I can’t even remember my own most of the time.
