Big Weekend

This was a big weekend for our little monkey.

Saturday began with hockey...and he scored his first goal!! He had prayed on Friday night that Jesus would help him to get a goal - and he thanked Jesus afterwards. It's so great to see Matt coming to realize that Jesus cares about the things that matter to Him - and Matt matters to Him.

THEN...Austin came for a sleepover. With the exception of Noah, Nicola and Chane, Matt has really never had a sleepover. Those two boys were sooo excited! We decided to keep them very busy!! We took them swimming, out for ice cream, home for games and dinner, then we watched Madagascar 2, had some junk food and put those tired critters to bed. Those tired critters were up at 5:45 this morning. Yuk.

Wouldn't ya just know it?? The day after the sleepover was the Sunday School potluck and training time...we didn't get home until 4:00 this afternoon. Now we're all tuckered out, and it feels great.

So, here's one that I wouldn't mind opinions on. I struggle to force myself into
"down time". I work full time now, and when I'm home, I'm cooking, cleaning, doing laundry, organizing, tidying...ironing...come on fellow moms you know the list. It goes on and on. Along those lines, I'm forever preaching about how we all are where we are in life because of the choices we have made. I like the order that tidying and cleaning brings me...so I frequently choose to do these things. However, I find myself increasingly lonely for my boy. SO...Saturday's dinner was Chinese Food. Just for fun, I opened my fortune cookie. Wanna know what it said??

Life is series of choices. Today, yours are good ones. Hmmmm.

Many wishes for a great week everyone!

Hockey

Matt had a hockey game in Sylvan Lake last month. They got creamed. They didn't care. Every child on our team played hard, cheered when the puck mercifully didn't go in our net, and pretty much lost control when it went into the other team's.

When the game was over, Matt asked me if I was so proud of how fast he skated and how hard he tried to get a goal. I was beyond proud.
