Kim's World

To all the wonderful mommies, have a supercalifragilisticexpialidocious day! (Did I get it right, Danielle?) lol! If you want to know what it means, according to Wikipedia it means, "The roots of the word have been defined as follows: super- "above", cali- "beauty", fragilistic- "delicate", expiali- "to atone", and docious- "educable", with the sum of these parts signifying roughly "Atoning for educability through delicate beauty." When you figure that out, will you clue me in? Thanks! Have an awesome day!

As this week slides to a close, I sit here thinking, "What did I accomplish?" Not much really. Here are a few highlights of the week: My kids had try outs for their up and coming musical "Father Knows Best" Open House was Thursday Night, so the whole family had to go out to see what Myles and Elle have accomplished this year in school, we even took a tour of the kindergarten class for Ashley, who by the way is more than ready to go to school. Levi and Myles' baseball team is undefeated and they play their final game tomorrow. Yay! Levi and Myles! I decided to start a business and I am completely overwhelmed with all that it entails! I'll keep you posted as to what it is and my new blog/website that Stacie is designing.  There are probably a million other little things that took place but for now here are a few pics from the week... pics 1&2: Ashley found a spot of sunlight and took a nap. pic 3: French Braids at last! pic 4: Elle & Ash cleaning kit...

It is such a beautiful day but unfortunately the laundry, dishes, and in fact my entire house is screaming "Please clean me!" So I handed some bubbles and chalk to the girls, and sent them into the backyard. The boys are out front riding bikes, and most likely pestering our neighbors! I am tackling this house and listening to Francesca Battisteli, (oh the life!) wishing all the while I had a maid! I'd love to be outside, drinking sweet tea, and blowing bubbles. So I decided to sneak out there and see what fun they were having...shhh..don't tell anyone I was slacking! This is what I found: Elle blowing bubbles, really, really big bubbles, and they had traced each other with chalk. (crime scene? not sure?) but they were laughing and enjoying each other, *sigh* , I want to be a little kid again!!!

I love this song! For all of us who have experienced the unending grace and mercy of Jesus, we are becoming beautiful through Him!

I found this poem today, I thought it was a beautiful account of  our Creator in the process of creating the world.      by James Weldon Johnson And God stepped out on space, And he looked around and said: I'm lonely-- I'll make me a world. And far as the eye of God could see Darkness covered everything, Blacker than a hundred midnights Down in a cypress swamp. Then God smiled, And the light broke, And the darkness rolled up on one side, And the light stood shining on the other, And God said: That's good! Then God reached out and took the light in his hands, And God rolled the light around in his hands Until he made the sun; And he set that sun a-blazing in the heavens. And the light that was left from making the sun God gathered it up in a shining ball And flung it against the darkness, Spangling the night with the moon and stars. Then down between The darkness and the light He hurled the world; And Go...

Today when I checked my email, I found a comment left for my blog, and this is how it read: Very cute! (the skirt that is) But why would we want to observe a day that was started by a killer? And furthermore is observed by tree huggers and mother earth worshippers? I am "The Heretic" and I approve this message. When I clicked on the blog link, it was private, so I have no idea who this is. But instead of responding, I decided to see if there was some truth to what they said. This is what I found out about Earth Day: click here . This will take you to another blog with some information, and if you click here it will take you to Wikipedia. No where did I read anything about it being "started by a killer" and if you find this information, will you please inform me? And as far as the statement that it "is observed by tree huggers and mother earth worshippers", what do you think? My philosophy is that you clean up what you mess up, use only what you ne...
