My Girls

it is late at night and i am reading the blogs, they way i do, late at night. today was just an ordinary summer day. we got up at 10:30 a.m. can you tell it is the middle of summer? we are all staying up so late.

one of the things that i enjoy doing with my girls is watching what not to wear and 10 years younger on TLC. we love those shows. now bekah and hannah always ask me if i would wear what they tell the people to wear on their show. of course i say yes. but who can afford $250 for a pair of slack and $350 for a cashmere sweater and $200 for a pair of shoes? but i know what you are thinking they don't have to pay for it, that is why they are on the show. would someone please nominate me for that show. i would share. our favorite part is when they cut the hair. hannah and i talk alot about whether we like what nick does. there have been a few times that we don't. hannah will say to me mama, you used to cut hair, i bet you could do a much better job than that.

we also like 10 years younger because you get to see the end result quicker. after supper we went to the park and hannah played in the sand box and i pushed bekah on the swing. we didn't go until 8, because it is so hot. after the girls showered, we sat down to play sorry. our family loves that game. we play it at least three times a week. i know, i know, your thinking it's time to get a new game. but we just love to watch rebekah and hannah send each other home with the sorry card. they both have their own special way of torturing the other as they send them home. tonight the rule was to lick one of the pieces, after it got to home and to stick it on our forehead for the duration of the game. of course this set in motions all sorts of laughter, that makes the game playing longer. we love games at our house.

both of us (David and myself) grew up playing games at our houses. i am thankful for that tradition that i can pass down to my kids. i tomorrow i will go out and buy another game for us to play. not that you needed to know that. i just thought i would share it.

after i finish here i am going to read one of the best books i have come across in a long time. the name of it is the atonement child. it is written by francine rivers. she writes great books. check her out some time. redeeming love is my favorite. but be warned, once you start you will not be able to put it down.

anyway thanks for stopping by today and sharing my life with me. i look forward to seeing you again.
