But I would gather children From among the thorns of sin, I would seek a golden curl, And a freckled, toothless grin. For money cannot enter In that land of endless day, And roses that are gathered Soon will wilt along the way. But oh, the laughing children, As I cross the sunset sea, And the gates swing wide to heaven, I can take them in with me! ~Author Unknown~ 2008-12-25 http://www.pleonast.com/user/carolattheriver?l=5&entryID=611480 It is such a fun game to play! We had one as a kid that my dad made out of plywood. We played on it ALL the time. Do YOU like to play? 2008-12-20 http://www.pleonast.com/user/carolattheriver?l=5&entryID=610579 ...over my house! It's nighttime and they are very loud, but you can't see them. We live in a bird part of the country, a lot of birds migrate here. I am enjoying their honking.:) Honk if you are ready for Christmas to be here! 2008-12-18 http://www.pleonast.com/user/carolattheriver?l=5&entryID=608515 I keep hearing lots of hammering. 2 neighbors are getting new roofs today because of Ike. Maybe the next hurricane will get US a new roof. J/K!!! 2008-12-11 http://www.pleonast.com/user/carolattheriver?l=5&entryID=608244 It was a special day in many ways today. Kyle practiced every day for about 3 weeks to do the invitation at services. He was so nervous, but you couldn't tell. He got up there and made his talk beautifully. I am such a proud mommy for what he is growing up to being. He loves the Lord so much and is an encouragement to me. I thank God every day for the blessing he is to me. The last time it snowed was about 3 or 4 years ago and it was on Christmas eve. This time it is sticking and we were even able to build a snowman. Fun times!!! Kyle was throwing the snowball at mom. 2008-12-11 http://www.pleonast.com/user/carolattheriver?l=5&entryID=607621 I keep thinking my life must be boring because I can't think of ANYTHING to post. So I finally decided to put the kids in front of our tree and take a picture.:/ I am off to take the kids to PE and exercise. Have a great day! 2008-12-09 http://www.pleonast.com/user/carolattheriver?l=5&entryID=600789 I went to Eagle Pointe to look into the Homeschool PE they offer. While asking about it, I found out they were having a huge special on memberships. I took advantage of the special and am hoping to get back in shape at the same time as my kids are in the PE class! Very Excited!!! Anybody want to come excercise with me? 2008-11-18 http://www.pleonast.com/user/carolattheriver?l=5&entryID=599096 If anyone would like to post their favorite Thanksgiving recipe, please do so. I am really looking forward to the holidays. I would like to know your specialties. I am doing the best I can to wait till after Thanksgiving to put my tree up. I don't know if I'll be able to wait!!! There is one particular part I CAN wait for. Mike bought a Lionel train last year off ebay and the kids loved it. Notice I said kids. It is huge, I couldn't hardly vacuum bacause the tracks are all over the place. The kids played in the water yesterday. I didn't think that would happen in November. They had a blast. 2008-11-13 http://www.pleonast.com/user/carolattheriver?l=5&entryID=598744 I got 6 out of 20. NOW BEAT THAT!!! hehe. 2008-11-12
