Today the sun was shining brightly, and we all thoroughly enjoyed the day. Daniel went out longboarding with a friend for hours. Tim and David walked Sarah to her afternoon meeting; I met them on the way back, sneaking in a little walk myself. We ran errands, organized, did laundry and dishes, and completed a huge collection of random To Do’s.
Sarah sorted and organized shoes WHILE talking on the phone.
I think we filled this white board 3 times with small odd jobs.
The kids all went to church for youth group activities, while Tim and I planned some silly activities for tomorrow’s Sunday School class on Exodus 16. How many different recipes are there for manna? I wonder how the Israelites would have done on Top Chef or Chopped? Hee hee hee.
Poor Daniel. He’s been suffering since Tim, David and Sarah started exercising and went off sugar. Once a constant staple, now there’s no more ice cream in the house. There was an old container of sherbert in the freezer which Daniel managed to make last a good couple of weeks. Today I decided to spoil him and buy some cookies and cream at the store.
Look at that happy face.
I don’t think Tim was prepared to watch Daniel savor that ice cream while he went without. Uh oh.
“You won’t share with dear old dad?”
Please??!!
Daniel is a resourceful and thoughtful son. He quickly found something for Tim to eat instead of sugar-laden ice cream.
Enjoy your lettuce, Dad!
Not sure a leaf of lettuce is quite the same treat as a bowl of ice cream. But you can’t say Daniel didn’t try to help. LOL!

Poor old dad…how will he live with this treating?
You’ve got a family full of drama queens, don’t you? And I mean that in the nicest way possible! Poor Tim. We’re planning lots of lettucey meals while we’re together next weekend, okay? So take heart! (ooh, add to the menu “hearts” of romaine!)
Wheee. Can’t wait for more lettuce. So kind of you to think of every detail.
Ah, this drama plays out every Sunday night in our home….though it’s Arielle and I that forego the sugar laden, fat laden, ice cream. LOL I’d love to say it gets easier – but not so far. LOL Sometimes Arielle tries to convince me that yonanas (frozen shaved bananas) taste really yummy….but I’m not so easily fooled.
Was going to comment on that your To Do list is VERY impressive.
