Hello there, I haven't been here in a week which is not my intention, but , it has been quite busy around here.  Last week the weather was Glorious!!! It hit about 80 for nearly 4 days.  Of course, its back inthe 60's, so I have some time back at my computer for a bit. 

We went to Ft Nisqually on a field trip with co-op on Thursday.  It was really fun.  The weather made it so much more enjoyable.  We have been there before, but only for the Candlelight tour. So it was neat to go inside the buildings .  Life was harderin the 1800's,  but in so many ways so much simpler. I have a few pics I will add later.  Afterwards we were driving to meet Jerry and my battery light came on in the Suburban.  Well within a very short time the power became weaker, Thankfully I was able to pull into a parking lot down by the water and as I backed the truck into its space, we lost all power.  The kids had drinks and snacks and our friend Jacob was with us, he is 15, and he had a deck of cards- YAY!!!

As we waited for Jerry to rescue us the kids had a picnic in the parking lot and played cards.  Meanwhile, the truck needed a new alternator and battery, bummer.   God is so good.  A year ago, this would have been an extreme stress, financially, even a few months ago.  Now that the business is up and going well, I am thankful that it was just something we could take care of and move forward.  I am also thankful for my children behaving so well and having fun in a crazy adventure.  They were saddend since we had to miss 4-H, but there will be more meetings, and besides how many times do you get to learn how to change the alternator. hmmmm

Here we are hanging out waiting for Daddy to rescue us !!!

Yeah!!! Dad's our hero!!!  A new battery to get us to the auto part store and put in a new alternator.

Well the rest of the weekend was busy, too.

We went to see the new Narnia movie Friday, It was good, although it strayed from the book off and on.  We had just finished the book so the kids were very excited to go and see it.  It was over 2 hours long.  Jerry had the day off, sowe were all there.  Isaia slept through nearly all of it and we had to cover Sarah's eyes a few times and when it ended everyone was rushing to the bathroom.

Well I shall go make lunch and will return later to complete any new happenings.

Have a great day,

love

Tammy
