I just wanted to take a moment to talk about Memorial Day. It is one of my favorite holidays. Yes, it is the official summer party kick off but it so much more. This is a day to remember those that have died before us especially those in the armed forces. Have you ever thought about where we would be without our military? I am very thankful for the men and women who have died serving our country and for those that are still serving. They are in my prayers and not a day goes by that I don’t think about what they are doing.
Remember the troops!
Ok so Saturday night we had storms again and there was a tornado warning for Tipton County so the kids and I took our kitchen TV (which has rabbit ears) and our portable DVD player along with a chair and some blankets and pillows and we hung out in our hallway bathroom with the dogs for awhile. I am so happy that the rooms for the Clean Heart/Clean Home Challenge was the bathrooms! LOL The bathroom was SO clean! We watched Tim Simpson track the storms on the TV and Enchanted was playing on the DVD player. We just sat in there chillin’ out and ate some candy that we had bought for our movie night….which we were supposed to be doing in the living room.
The girls at church sometimes yell “Party in the bathroom” while they are playing in the gym on Wednesday nights….I have no idea why. I think it is because they want to go talk to each other without the boys hearing them or bothering them. Girls are so funny! So when we were in the bathroom Saturday night, Alex said that we were having family night in the bathroom and I laughed and said no it is a real party in the bathroom and Amy (who says it at church) looked at me like I was an alien….oh well! LOL It was funny.
When the tornado warning expired, we stayed for a little bit longer and then I got sleepy and told the kids to get the twin sized mattresses and put them on my bedroom floor because I was ready for bed. They did and were watching Alvin and the Chipmunks on Amy’s TV that she brought in with her and I had the weather on mine. I ended up falling asleep to the sound of heavy rain and thunder.
You can take many situations and turn the into fun family times. I am sure my kids will be talking about this one for a long time!
