This past weekend my friend Martha and I did program for Women's Weekend at Windy Gap. It's a weekend that my best buds and I put on every year and it's so fun. You gotta come if you're over 18 and, well, a woman.
Annnnnyway, I can't believe I'm doing this, but here are the videos from the weekend. The first two are ladies called "The Jans" who sang at meals. After all, "A meal without music is like a girl without her pearls." The second two videos are of "Bridget and Gidget" and they are basically just two single ladies from somewhere not in the South (their accents change like the wind). These gals were just trying to teach everyone how to get a man.
Enjoy...

Busy much?
Lest you think I've been sitting around eating bon bons and watching Oprah, I thought I'd update you.
It all started in full effect this week. Maggie and the twins in school, my moms' Bible study on Monday mornings, PT and OT on Wednesdays and Fridays. Oh, and let's throw in a little outpatient surgery shall we? Tori got tubes in her ears this morning. We've been up since 5 am (Nonnie's been up since 4:30 and got to our house at 6!). Tori did great. She is such a trooper. The Lord knew what He was doing when he gave her such a sweet and easygoing disposition because if either Maggie or Zoe were going through these procedures we'd be up a creek.
So we're home tonight and then off to Family Camp for the weekend. (If you're reading this and you're a crook, please don't rob my house...unless you want a Little Tikes playhouse that's sitting on my back porch. Ian HATES that thing and refuses to put it up in the yard). Anyway, we are heading out tomorrow morning on a retreat with families from our church. Ian and I have the privilege of speaking on Sunday, which should be fun. I always love to hear him speak and I don't get the opportunity that much. Then we're back on Monday and leave again on Thursday for my Women's Retreat at Windy Gap. Woo hoo! I am doing program (skits) with my HI-larious friend, Martha, and I can't wait. It's also the only time during the year that I get to see my closest friends who plan this retreat with me. What a blessing to be a part of these two weekends!
If you're up for it, please pray for us as we go. Pray for good health mainly, and that our family will flourish in this time together. I am really excited!

Things I did today that were exciting...
*Went to a preschool meeting without my preschoolers
*Sat in the parking lot of McDonald's drinking my $1 coke and filled out medical forms...all while listening to the radio station of MY choice
*Had an uninterrupted meeting at the church where I was actually able to have more than one thought on any topic we chose
*Looked at two catalogs and wished I could buy lots of clothes
*Dropped of ALL of my girls at "school"
I loved doing all of those things. Today was really a celebration of sorts for me. I feel like it's another way that we've "made it" through another hurdle of parenting multiples.
I have to admit, though, that what I loved even more than doing those things was picking all three of them up today. Zoe and Tori told me all about their day (who was in their class, that they played and ate grapes...though I'm not sure about the grapes). And even though Maggie is a big time first grader she still runs off the bus and straight to me to give me a hug. I just love it.
Sweet Nonnie called me from Toys R' Us yesterday and said that she read my blog about small backpacks for the twins. She said that she walked in the store and prayed, asking the Lord to help her find tiny backpacks (especially for Tori), and if they could have Dora on them then that would just be icing on the cake. Well, as you can see, she found the last two tiny Dora backpacks...in pink, nonetheless. I just love it when the Big Guy is in the details. It's these little things that keep me encouraged, knowing that He is looking out for my "Little Thing".
