Wet.

Oh Summer, you are so hilarious!

This afternoon Louise and I went to the soccer. It was so funny. It rained the whole time (except at half time). We had one umbrella to cover our heads and one like a blanket to cover our legs....and grey hoodies for cuteness.

Unfortunately the Mariners beat the Jets 1-0 in the last 30 seconds :-(
But we had heaps of fun anyway! I love random summer adventures.

Hungry

In the past 24 hours I've hung out with both Hayden & Morgan (& their absolutely gorgeous mums!).
ooooh they are growing up waaaaaaaaaaaaay too fast! Hayden has mastered sitting and Morgan climbed up a step for the first time today. too clever!

One thing I find fascinating about babies is that sometimes they can be super hungry, but refuse to eat. And they can be absolutely exhausted, but refuse to sleep. If you just stop sobbing and eat the hunger will go away small person! I promise!

I don't think we change much as we grow older. Of course, we can recognise physical hunger & tell if we need a nap. But what about spiritually? So often I am so spiritually hungry, all I need is to spend some time with God, feasting on His word. But I don't. Instead of recognising the hunger pangs, I whinge and gripe and wallow in my own selfish pain and sorrow.

Thank you for the life lessons my boys! 

Campaigning

This week Junior School had their annual election. Year 4 students have the opportunity to run for the six 'Junior School Leader' positions. They campaign hard - there wasn't a wall, a window or a pole without a "Vote #1" sign on it (it makes me laugh that they use the # sign). On Wednesday they each had to present their speech in front of all 200 Junior School kids and 30ish camera happy parents. They all did soooooo well! So many promised to tie shoelaces, run to get help if you fell over and play with you if you had no friends (because that's what leaders do).

It was then up to the K-4 kids to vote. Of course our teacher votes counted for more. And our amazing group of leaders was decided.

There is such a great mix of kids on this year's team! I'm looking forward to working with them!
First job - organise and advertise the Disco for Niko (arrgh March 1 is coming up very quickly).
