What more exciting than to spend it with our kids! (Actually next weekend we will be taking two nights out of town childless :) BUT our kids really did make our Anniversary Eve special! We played basketball at the local community center and ate supper at Subway as a family. No picture of Julia in her darling dress...because she drank an entire bottle of chocolate milk at Subway and on the drive halfway to arrive at the Daddy/Daughter date night at church the entire bottle ended up on her pretty dress (we suppose it was just to much for her stomach, because there have been no sign of the flu bug at our house). So, we turned around..drove 15 minutes home to change her clothes..and then headed back to the party. Macy and Julia had a fantastic time with Josh...lots of girly activities took place for them to enjoy including dessert time w/ dad, making bracelets, crowns, AND shaving their dads face with shaving cream and popsicle sticks. Caden/Noelle and I hit Target for some much needed school stuff for Caden, Hy-Vee (because the fridge was empty at home), and of course, got ourselves some ice cream. Everyone ended up in bed at 11:30.
Josh and I talked about how at our wedding it never even occurred to us what we would be doing in 11 years. Is anyone really ever prepared at their wedding for cleaning up throw-up, buying the third pair of boy tennis shoes in a school year, or shuffleing kids to bed at 11:30 pm?
We are thankful for this time in our life, and praise God that his love and grace are sufficient not only to prepare us for the tasks at hand but to sustain us through them AND give joy to our hearts in the midst of it!
Oh yeah--did I mention we are going to Kansas City childless for 3 days and 2 nights?!
