Bring It On.....

The grocery store has Halloween Candy on display. Walmart has had basket pumpkings and cornucopias since before the fourth of July!

FYI my mom insists that Diana (see previous post) moved and we couldn't return it.

We've been telling our "stories" at house church. It's been awesome. I've been thinking about people and their stories all week. Love you guys!

The "Diana" Spoon

We took the kids camping again this weekend with some of our best friends and their kids. Some people spent the whole weekend and others came for part of the day on Saturday. It was a very relaxing, fun time. The kids made a serious mud pie that they spent a good portion of the weekend working on. My kids sleep SO good when we are camping and I think it's from spending so much time and energy learning first hand about God and his creation-rocks, dirt, grass (aka mud pie). The mountains are so full of non human made things that it is hard to ignore the Creator of it all when you are so surrounded by His fingerprints.

When the kids were making that mud pie I remembered that as a small child (under 5) I ran around the neighborhood without my mom tagging along. One of my favorite places to play was a huge hole in the ground. We would go their and dig in this hole with our mom's kitchen spoons. I'm sure our mom's loved that hole. All through my childhood we had a black handled spoon that we called the "Diana Spoon". We brought it home one day from that hole. I don't remember Diana but I'm not sure why, if we knew who the spoon belonged to, that we didn't return it.

Withdrawals

I have been watching Moonlighting on DVD. I didn't watch the show when it was on because it was on past my bed time-I'm THAT young. I just finished the Second Season and the third season has a "long wait". I am waiting for Entourage, season two. I hope it comes today. I have some serious TV show withdrawals.

If you have not discovered the joy of TV on DVD let me make the following suggestions:

24
Carnivale (HBO)
Six Feet Under
LOST-if you haven't started watching it YOU ARE MISSING OUT!
Battlestar Gallactica-if you like Sci Fi
Entourage
Moonlighting-the first season is pretty lame, but they get knew writers in Season 2

ENJOY!
