Mommy, i need my toolbox

Eating lunch today...

AK: (looking at the wall) Mommy, I need my toolbox.

M: OK, (handing her a small wadded up napkin)

AK: I need my hammer (hammers the wall) I need my screwdriver (screws into the wall) and my paintbrush (paints the wall)

M: Good construction work!

AK: Tank you mommy (turns back to her grilled cheese)

Other funnies...while praying for her at night i look up to see AK with one hand in the air saying :Yes GOd Yes Lord. Been on a mission trip lately?

AK using her baby doll's toes to do this little piggy went to market

Costa Rica

We just took our family on our church's mission trip to Costa Rica. What a journey! The girls did great with all the traveling and sleeping in new places. It was such a stretch for me to break from our daily routine and schedule and go with the flow a little bit. But so worth it! Many people got saved and changed by the Holy Spirit. Praise God! Plus I feel like my Spanish is definitely getting better. I knew Anna Kate was a pro traveler when we went through security at one airport...she walked up to the conveyor belt, put her paci on the belt, walked through the screener, then waited for her paci on the other side. Hilarious! She developed a new found love for orange juice (I think they put sugar in it there) and Jenna Grace had her first taste of crackers. They ate a lot of rice and beans and lots of fresh tropical fruit. Our first house had a pool so both clocked their fare share of swim time. They love the water! We are so glad to be home! Pictures coming soon...once I finish the laundry :)
