Fostering Expectations

Some friends did a lovely thing this evening.  They planned a secret photo shoot for my kids.  I'm glad and excited to see how it turned out!

.

I have wonderful friends.

.

I put the kids to bed forever late past their bedtime because I forgot I hadn't changed the time forward on the clock hanging on the wall.  I hope we aren't sorry tomorrow.

.

Tomorrow the kids get to go take spring pictures with two of their younger siblings.  They wanted to know if their mom was going to be there.  I don't think she is, but nobody said for sure.

.

Tonight's bible story was partially about the Foolish Nabal and his wife Abigail.  In this particular Action Bible version, David states that he is going to ask Abigail to marry him.  My oldest said, "You have to ask someone to marry you?  Wouldn't you be scared?  Isn't that scary?"  :D  Great unexpected opportunity to explain how that should work...VERY CAREFULLY.  The kid was very traumatized by the thought of how nervous you would be asking someone.  Has a point I suppose, but I'm thinking the kid has some time.

Skillet's "new" path is interesting.  Read an article the other day that said they never wanted to just be a Christian rock band and that they also wanted to be mainstream artists.  Can't say I blame them, but it's interesting to hear their new song on the Christian radio when I can't quite get that connection.  Still a good song.

.
I spent a lot of time sick this weekend.  I played several million hidden picture games during this time.  Hiding in plain sight is always the best disguise.
.
Got an unexpected compliment today.  Can't decide if it was a genuine compliment, or if the person was just tired of dealing with the other person and sent them to me since "I knew surprising a lot about these things".  :)  I'm going to take it as a positive.

Today was International Happiness Day.  Who did you make happy today?
