The weekend just flew by...

Goodness. I can't believe how fast the weekend went. This past week was a tough one for the boys. Ry got in trouble twice for throwing things. One was some type of science project with needles in it and another, according to him was a stuff animal and according to his teacher was a pen cap. Anyway, he got called into the Principal's office, which meant he lost his ability to play any type of video games for a week and no TV on Saturday. Then there was Nick. On Friday, I got a call from his Principal. Nick will be eating alone this next week. According to his Principal, Nick and this other boy got into an agrument and Nick said something that wasn't necessary. So, he to lost his video games for a week and no TV on Saturday.

Because Doug didn't get in any trouble, I needed to reward him. I asked him what he wanted to do special. Just us. He wanted to go bowling. So on Friday Night, we headed out for some extreme bowling. We played 3 games and had some ice cream. We were on our last game, when the guy who works at the bowling lanes came over and asked me if we were having problems with our score cards because I just kept looking up on the TV screen at our scores. I told him we weren't, I was just looking at all the gutterballs that Doug and I had gotten. I think Doug managed to get a gutterball in frames 4 thru 9 and I had guttered in couple of frames. Yeah, we aren't the best bowlers but we had a wonderful time together.

Church was amazing this morning. During the service there were 5 children dedicated. I felt alot of comfort in today's service. It was exactly what I needed to hear. I never really had a strong parent role model, and because of that I think I struggle with what type of parent I am. I always wish I could be that perfect parent who never gets angry, who never raises her voice and who can always reason with their children. Maybe someday, with prayer. Ry and Doug got to go with their youth group after service for an outing for some bowling while Nick and I headed over to the fairgrounds to finish cleaning up the chicken barns.

Tomorrow is the big day over at Coordinates Collections. I am going to reveal my Project of the Week (POW). I hope everyone enjoys it. I plan on posting on my blog too...after CC, of course. So, make sure you check back.
