No Pillow Fights?

So do you remember those spongy letters I was venting about last week?  Well John Thomas has found a new purpose for them...an accessory.  It was a letter "C" but it doubles as a visor.  It was a letter "O" but it doubles as a bracelet.  I guess toddlers haven't learned about the box that most of us adults struggle to think outside of. 

The cover for my book has been finalized!  I actually love it!  Several people have asked what the book is about.  It's a seven week faith-based challenge to live a life more actively focused on and demonstrative of the call to serve.  I love that only one house is in color because it symbolizes how one person or one home can bring life, energy, and purpose to a neighborhood, church or community.  Essentially, if you want the world to be a better place, then it's up to you to do something about it.

 As always, the last two weeks have included some really fun times.  Meeting at the library with Aunt Sarah and Lola.  We also played at the park with some friends.

 We even got to go to dinner with our neighbors, and JT's favorite buddies, Brody and Dare. 

If that weren't enough, I threw a slumber party this past Friday night.  Five of my closest girl friends came over in their PJs, we ate pizza and ice cream, we played games and eventually called it a night at about one in the morning.  No, there weren't any pillow fights.  But there was plenty of laughter, a few tears and lots of fun!  By the way, this picture in no way demonstrates how much fun we had (well maybe except for Kim :) ), but we were too busy cracking up to stop and pose for pics.  Love these ladies.
