Such a Saturday

This morning Kale headed off to his friend Michael's house for a sleepover. He was so excited that he packed his bag last night and asked me no less than 10 times this morning if I knew when he'd be going over to his house...he finally left around 10am one happy kid :)

Here's the photo Michael's mom sent me an hour or so later. She said "the Lego marathon begins!" 
After Kale left, the rest of us played Disney Headbanz and drew pictures. 

I drew Rainbow Dash for Kate 
And an elephant for me! 
Don't worry. I've drawn Jack lots of things! 
After lunch we went up to Fort Lewis for the homecoming football game. When we went to buy tickets they asked if we were alumni. Since we both are, we got in free (so did the kids). They gave us blue and yellow beads and said we get free stuff in the tents. Cool! 

Turns out the free food they had in the tents was pretty good! Bummer that I'd just had lunch! 

Here are the alumni showing off our beads. 
We sat and watched Fort Lewis get scored on 3 times before the half. Not much has changed since we were in college. 
This picture of Jack was taken only a couple minutes before the poor guy got stung on his hand by a bee. Boy did that hurt!  He screamed! 

We had to leave right after that. He was inconsolable. 

Thankfully it didn't swell too much. It got him on his ring finger. 

We got him some ice (which he was not happy about) and some benedryl. Even now, an hour later, it is still throbbing. 

We are currently sitting at home watching Escape From Planet Earth and hoping our little guy feels better soon. 

Such a Saturday!

Had to come back and add this. Jack's been feeling crummy ever since the bee sting. Definitely not himself. We asked if pancakes would help. He said that yes pancakes and syrup would help. 

So we loaded up and headed to town for Denny's. 
Little did we know it was "kids eat free" night. Haha! 

Two fun little "free" favors today. Totally unknown! A little smile from heaven. Love how that happens. :)

Oh and the pancakes did help Jack's hand...
God is the God of our yesterdays. He allows us the memory of them so we can turn the past into the ministry for the future.

"I don't think you can explain how Christian faith works. It is a mystery. And I love this about Christian spirituality. It cannot be explained, and yet it is beautiful and true. It is something you feel, and it comes from the soul."
