great quote

From the Home and School magazine...

"Our God has a thousand hands.
He uses them to teach our children, to write on the board, to cut material for bulletin boards, to tie shoes, to zip jackets, to grade papers, to play the piano, and to teach a child to play a brass or wood instrument.
Our God could do all those things, but He uses our hands...You see, our God has a thousand hands.
I have two of them and so do you."

great wolf

It was teacher's convention last week Thursday & Friday. We tend to really enjoy breaks like this as it gives us a chance to go somewhere fun as a family during the week when things are not so busy. This year we went to Great Wolf Lodge for a couple nights.
SO FUN!
All three girls really enjoyed themselves.



Kid Cabin! Private kids sleeping area with private kids TV. Breakfast in bed.
Life is good!

PJ storytime, trick or treating for "howl-o-ween", eating at the Critter Club and "free" wolf ears with purchase of the $8 kid's meal that did not include a drink...nice. Regardless of my inner monologue, the girls were excited, so excited all three of them wore the ears to Red Lobster the next night!
You can't put a price on a memory.
Right?




We spent hours on the Lazy River, in the hot tub, on the slides and running
...walking around the water park.


By Saturday morning, the girls were just standing around staring...wanting to do things, but not having an ounce of energy left.
Stephanie kept asking me to sit down so she could cuddle with me.
Savana wanted to lay out on the chair with a towel for her pillow.
Summer squeezed in a few more slides and then called it quits.
It was a quiet ride home!
Play hard, crash hard.

together again



All these cousins were TOGETHER AGAIN for the annual trip to the little cabin in the upper peninsula.
Four dads, four quads, two vehicles, one large trailer, lots of food, and a bunch of crazy excited kids!








What's so fun? Staying up late, giggling non-stop with your cousins, flashlight tag, playing ghost in the graveyard, going to grandpa's cabin, cave exploring, gorgeous scenery, and also...not taking a shower for days, barely brushing your hair, and having your dad take care of you!
PRETTY SPECIAL!
