Emilie and her favorite friends- Hallie, Jasmine, Maddie, Samantha, Chloe (and Josie and Noah of course), enjoyed splishing and splashing in Mama Holly's pool!
We had a watermelon eating contest. Chloe (the tiniest of the bunch) was the winner! The kids were in shock when they discovered the watermelon had seeds!
We decorated flip flops. We played "Pin the Goggles on Emilie."Why buy a "Pin the Tale on the Donkey" game, when you can create your own game.In the past we have played "Pin the Crown on the Princess," and "Pin the Chef's Hat on the Cook." I think a "Pin the Patch on the Pirate" is in our future??
Emilie's desert choice "Ice Cream Wednesdays," since it is Wednesday and not Sunday, YUMMY!I loved watching my girl enjoy her friends. They are each such beautiful, kind, sweet girls. Each one a blessing to Emilie.

Jesus knows me this I love.
Praise is who I am, praise is what I do.
I love words: written, spoken, sung, lived.
I have a love/hate relationship with homeschooling.
I value time spent with a good friend.
I go nowhere without my lipstick!
"By entering through faith into what God has always wanted to do for us- set us right with him, make us fit for him- we have it all together with God because of our Master Jesus. And that's not all; We throw open our doors to God and discover at the same moment that he has already thrown open his doors to us. We find ourselves standing where we always hoped we might stand- out in the wide open spaces of God's grace and glory, standing tall and shouting praise."
"Even in childhood was implanted within me a trace of that mysterious unity from which I was derived" St. Augustine Everybody has to change or they expire. Everybody has to leave, leave their home and come back so they can love it again for all new reasons. I want to keep my soul fertile for the changes, so things keep getting born in me, so things keep dying when it is time for things to die. I want to keep walking away from the person I was a moment ago. Only a good story has a character that's different at the end than it was in the beginning. Through Painted Deserts - Donald Miller

"So here's what I want you to do, God helping you: Take your everyday, ordinary life - your sleeping, eating, going-to-work, and walking-around life - and place it before God as an offering. Embracing what God does for you is the best thing you can do for him."
