Sweet.

E. had his first grade program last night.

He needed a white shirt, and being a mom of practical mindset, I've never bought him a solid white shirt. So after school, we headed over to Shopko (the nearest store to our house) to pick one up.

As we pulled into the parking lot I said,

"We should pray so we don't have to run all over town looking for a white shirt..."

"Okay," said E.

I began, "Jesus, help us find a white shirt in E.'s size right here at Shopko. Help it to be the kind he wants and help it to be less than twenty dollars."

E. continued, "And Lord, if you're going to answer this prayer really nicely, let it be less than ten dollars."

He answered our prayers.

To the tune of a long sleeved white button down with a sweet clip-on tie.
For $17.99.
I guess maybe God was too busy to change the sale signs at Shopko yesterday just for us...

The program was great.

E. was a hippo.

Love a school program.

Phlumpyschlumpy.

Good morning, peeps. It's Friday. There's frost outside this morning. *FROST!* This week has been ridiculously chilly. I'm having mixed feelings about blogging lately. Mostly because I feel like all I've been doing is whine about being tired. Or overwhelmed. And because comments are lacking. And because I can't seem to think about anything to write about except Tejan. And because some of the thoughts I'm having are too private for the blog - or too repetitive. Or too unformed to turn into actual words you all could understand. So I'm struggling a bit. And yet, I'm committed to documenting the process I'm in. So I'll keep writing when the words come. And when they don't, like this morning, when I looked at that intimidating blinking cursor and my mind went blank and I started to break out in a cold sweat and began by talking about the weather... well, then, I'll just gracefully (or not so gracefully) back out of the room... tail between m...

Missoula Children's Theater

Last week Savannah and Ethan were both cast in their school's Missoula Children's Theater production of Red Riding Hood. Savannah was cast as Mother Hood and the Grandmother, and Ethan was Robin Hood - the Hood family's cousin from England. After five days of intense rehearsing, (four and a half hours every day after school) they were ready for two shows on Saturday afternoon. It was so fun for them. And fun for me, as I was one of two parent volunteers with the privilege of being at every rehearsal. I come from my own childhood experience of many opportunities with theater and musicals, so watching them experience the thrill of performing was awesome. It was an amazing week. I'm so glad they had the chance to do it. I loved that instead of having to commit to weeks and weeks of rehearsals, they just had to do this one really intense week. A full scale musical production without a month of rehearsing and I didn't have to sew any costumes! That's my kind of pla...
