Cupcake

At Church we were going to have trunk or treat for the kids. Last year was the first year and we loved it. We also give first and second prizes for the best decorated trunk and first and second prizes to the best costume. But to make it fair Mrs. Connie only allows the trick or treaters and their parents to vote. I was very surprised when I won first place in the costume contest. I was having a hard time this year trying to decide what to be and then I ate my favorite food, cupcakes, and realized what I wanted to be! That's right I was a cupcake. I'm not very arts and crafty, but with Lealan's help we made a great costume. One little girl said as I was handing her candy "I could eat you up!" I also decorated my trunk with cupcakes on cake plates. I'm already trying to think of next years costume because I want to be the one to beat every year :-)

Be specific

On Sunday trying to get ready for church Bayli was dragging her feet and it was driving me crazy. She kept going and reading a book instead of finishing whatever it was she was supposed to be doing. I finally had enough and told her that if I caught her reading that book one more time I would throw it in the trash. I go on to finish getting ready and come back in the living room a little bit later and what do I see but her reading a book. I say "what did I tell you I was going to do?" She said "that was this book (points to one laying on the couch) not this one (points to one in her hand)." This must be the "getting off on a technicality" they talk about at trials. Next time I will say "a book" not "that book" to cover any book she may be holding at that time. Smart aleck kid! I really don't know where she gets it from.

Praise the Lord!!

Our church and a couple others hosted a Wildgame dinner for men on Saturday. We had it in a tiny elementary school and we sold about 600 tickets, but the Lord provided more than enough food and plenty of space and time to feed everybody. We saw 23 men and children saved!!!!! The speaker was Bob Reccord. He is a wonderful speaker. The dinner and exhibits were a success and we are making plans for the 2nd annual Wildgame dinner next year. Keep praying that it is an even bigger success than this year!
