Playing Catch up

I have not posted in a few days so I am going to have to catch up in this post:

1.  A few weeks ago I went to the eye doctor for my annual check up well she said that my legally blind eye is still the same 20/400 and my right eye is good but I need to have glasses for reading and looking at the computer.  So last week I went to get my glasses and  I like them just it taking time to get use to them.  Most of the time I forget about them and then Channing will say Emily you need your glasses.  I have noticed since I wear my glasses to read and teach my class online that I get less headaches and this is a plus.

2.  My father gave me a whole lot of apples that I had to decide what to do with so I was talking with Channings grandmother she is 88 years olds and she makes apple sauce(baked apples) and freezers it so I asked her for the recipe and to my surprise she shared it with me.  So Sunday evening I spent peeling, slicing and cooking apples.  They are so good not sure if they will last for the winter. 

3.  House and moving issues.  We plan to move from our home we rent from my aunt into Channing's parents home in a few weeks.  The tractor trailer will be delivered on Wednesday and then we will send it over to Channing's parents home when we complete the move.  We were looking into storing all of our furniture and boxes in a storage unit but it was so expensive.  So, Channing found a lady that was selling trailers and he bought one at a really good price.  It is the way to go if you have to store items for a long time and you do not want to pay the storage fee.  We are still looking at 3 house plans and hoping to narrow it down to one house plan very soon.  Also we made an offer on some land and I hope we get it. 

4.  We have been going to a wonderful church and they have treated our family so great.  I am in a ladies bible study on Thursday nights and the book we are using is Anointed Transformed Redeemed A Study of David.  It is a powerful bible study on the life of David.  I would suggest this study for any Christian lady.  Priscilla Shirer, Beth Moore, and Kay Arthur are the featured writers for the study.  One main point that I enjoyed last week was to learn how David was anointed at 15 years old to be king but did not reign in Israel until he was 37 years old.  How he was patient and waited on God and he asked for God's guidance.  I hope that in my life I can be more patient on the Lord and always ask for his guidance.

I will keep you up to date on the study it is every other week.

Have a good day!

 

Kennedy baked a cake

Today Kennedy and I baked a fall theme cake.  I am not much of a "cake boss" so I bought the box cake mix and icing.  We finished decorating the cake and then I took a picture of the cake, so I could record our event of baking a cake.  Well after she looked at the picture she said mommy did the cake say cheese.  I just laughed and said no it did not say anything.

Playroom Before and After

This took 5 minutes with 2 little active girls.

This is the playroom after a few minutes of playing-2 little ones done all this!!!!

 

Cleaning was harder than messing up.

Playing House

Kennedy loves to play "House" especially when she gets to be the mommy.  Today she did not want to take a nap so she looked at me and said "mommy can I be the mommy I said sure Kennedy and she said OK"  but what I said next broke her little heart.  I told her even mommies have to have naps.  She said mommy I don't want to be the mommy anymore.

Halloween Birthday Party-Black and White Cat

Today, October 16, 2010 Kennedy and I went to a Halloween Birthday Party for Caroline Locklear we had so much fun.  Kennedy played on the bouncy and slide and they served her favorite pizza and coke to drink.  The theme of the party was Halloween.  I am not a big fan of Halloween because of all the scary characters and the meaning behind the day but I thought the party was so much fun and it was not scary at all.   
I decide to let Kennedy wear a leopard print dress with a matching cat hat.  She thought it was so fun to be a striped cat.  This was a very easy costume:
1 Leopard Print Dress+Black tights+ Cat winter hat=a pricless time with my daughter.
