Computers, Cleaning, Cooking, Croquet, and More...

Posted in Family Fun

 

Yesterday the children and I went to a friends house

to help her continue tweaking her blog

and to play and have fellowship. We had a great time.

Before we left,

they gathered together for a family picture to add to their blog.

I think it turned out wonderfully.

Be sure to check it out.

While I was off with the children,

my beloved stayed home a scrubbed the floor in our walk-in closet,

our garden tub in our master bathroom, and other things.

Isn't he such a sweetie??

It was wonderful to come home to see

our bathroom, closet, and more looking so wonderfully clean.

What a blessing it was!

 

In the evening, we decided to go out for supper.

We all decided on Chinese food and enjoyed a delicious meal.

 

 

This morning, after coffee and quiet time with my beloved,

I caught the girls playing with their daddy...

 

 

Will was in our sitting room playing RISK.

He is quite fascinated with that game.

He sat in there playing it when hubby and I

were sitting on our floor reading our Bible.

I think he sat there playing that game for over two hours!

 

Someone wasn't up yet, even with all of the commotion going on...

 

 

 

For breakfast I made some fried egg sandwiches

and we had to toast the bread in the oven

(since our toaster is packed). 

Not our usual way of toasting bread, but it worked.

Ally got a good laugh and a good lesson on being resourceful.

 

After breakfast, the children were eager

to play the croquet set we picked up.

They went outside to set it up...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

When they were ready, Dad came out to play with them...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

While everyone else played croquet with Dad,

Ally and I read more in our "Maidens of Virtue".

Carolynne joined us, too.

The wind was too strong for her

so she wanted to sit and watch the others play...

 

 

 

Later this afternoon, we attended a church gathering.

It was a fun time of fellowship. I may try to post some photos tomorrow.

 

I hope y'all enjoyed your Saturday.

 

Good night for now.

Thoughts shared by Lighthouse4Him

I see everyone is wearing sweaters and jackets (except for you). Must be getting colder down there. We were at my parents' house this weekend and the speakers on their computer don't work but when I checked your blog I found I had that song playing in my head anyway! :o)
