long weekend!

we had a great long weekend!! helped kris paint and decorate hunters room! it is so awesome! and we went to six flags... yes on labor day...we went to six flags..kind of crazy, but lots of fun.... 2 adults 6 kiddos! daniell came back in town on sunday! happy to have him home for a while!!!

i have to share the sweetest thing that happened! let me preface this with, my son alex, who is 10, is a raging ball of hormones! (even growing hair under his arms YIKES) - so he is being a great big jerk, especially to his brother and sister! okay.... kim and i are in the garage, stripping madysons dresser. madyson comes outside and is mad because alex is being mean and says 'he has to act sooo cool around his friends'!!! i tell her that i know and i am real sorry to just ignore him for now! so about 10 minutes later she comes back outside, eyes full of tears, but not crying! i ask her what was wrong... she, not crying yet, asks me if it was wrong to THINK bad things about someone? i said "what?" now the tears flow and she says (in the middle of crying) "i said two curse words about alex in my head and now i feel really, really bad!" thank goodness kim was there, because i really was not sure what to say to her. kim was great, she told her about how wonderful it was that we have Jesus in our hearts, all we have to do is ask Him for forgiveness and it is done! what a sweet heart she has! (also thank goodness, a conscience too :) )
