FUN FOTO FRIDAY - PAJAMA PARTY











FUN FOTO FRIDAY - PAJAMA PARTY

SLEEP OVER FUN! Here are pictures from a sleepover that Maggie had several years ago! Lots of giggling and not being able to get to sleep. They sure had a lot of fun! Over to the side are a few photos of a recent sleep over.... still lots of giggling... talking on the phone, fixing hair, doing nails, watching movies, making good food, chatting on facebook... girls just wanna have fun! Hope that you have plans for a fun "Friday Nighty" and a great weekend!

Thoughts for Thursday .......

Wow! What a first couple of summer break days. My goal is to slow things down here a little. Maggie has started drivers training and has to be at school (18 miles from my house) by 7:30 every morning. I am trying to get everything organized and caught up enough that we might spend some time relaxing and reading... laying out in the sun. She has to be back over for a two to three hour sports practice in the afternoons or evenings. Hopefully by the end of this week, we will get into a flow and slow down a little. Tony and I have made time to walk (1 hour) every day this week ... so far. I have been reading "Become a Better You" by Joel Osteen. I'm only half way through it. It is sooo motivational. I will leave you with a thought that I read in it last night.

IF YOU WILL MAKE SOMEBODY ELSE'S DAY, GOD WILL MAKE YOURS.

"Friend, choose to bring out the best in the people that God has put in your life. You're never more like God than when you give, and the closest thing to His heart is helping others. If you will be a people builder, focused on bringing out the best in others, I can promise you this: God will bring out the best in you."

It is easy to give our best to our own children or those in our household... a little bit harder to reach out to everyone that God puts in your path. So that is what I am going to work on, reaching out to others and slowing things down around here. Hope that everyone is adjusting to and enjoying the first week of summer break.
