We had a very busy weekend! Andy and I went to a marriage retreat on Friday and had a really good time. We ran back to the house on Saturday grabbed Pumpkin and went to the SEC Gymnastics Championships. That was super fun! Those women were amazing.
We are leaving Tuesday for Colorado and we are very excited! I will post when we get back. Andy is going to teach me how to do pictures on the blog so I will include a lot of pictures! Pumpkin is going to learn how to ski so we are very excited. Andy and I love to ski hopefully she will enjoy it as much as us. We suspect she should be good since she has such good balance from gymnastics. We will see. Talk to everyone when we get back.

Good Day
Today was a very good day. Today we did nothing. If you know us you know that is very rare. We got up played some Wii. Pumpkin beat me at Mario Cart pretty decicdely while telling me "don't worry you have to get better". We went out to lunch at one of our fave places and then Andy and Pumpkin went shopping. Nice and relaxing. I am the type of person who loves to go, go ,go but it was nice to do nothing. I am still not feeling good but what can you do? Please keep praying for me I take another chemo dose tonight. The drs. doubled it last week and it was hard but I am hoping my body will have adjusted this week. I am going on a ski trip in a week so I need to get healthy and feel good. Pumpkin has never seen real snow so we are excited. We only get a little dusting around here, so she has big plans. I will post pictures when we get back.

No More Lunch For You
At least once a week I have to do something that could get me in major trouble. It usually involves the fact that I can't keep my mouth shut. This week does involve talking but it really is not my fault, here is the story:
Once a week moms from Pumpkins class volunteer to watch the class during lunch so her teacher can have a 30 minute lunch break. Now yesterday was my day and I thought about not going because I have a throat infection. However I had not been out all week (except to go to the doctor) and decided to go, first mistake. I am sitting at the girl table and all the girls are talking to me.(there is only 6 girls in her class) One of the girls ask me why is Pumpkin sensitive.(for you who do not know our girl she has a very sweet, sensitive, and empathetic spirit) I said God made us all different would this not be a boring world if we all looked the same and acted the same. I continued with and its not polite to make fun of someone who is different than you its like your making fun of God. God created us our own special way. Good right. Now you may think I got in trouble for talking about God at school, but no my daughter goes to a private christian school so I am still not in trouble at that point. Here comes the trouble, a girl then says why did God make Jenny(not her real name)a liar and mean person. Now here is the catch Jenny is sitting right next to the girl. Then someone else says yeah way does God make people mean and liars.
Oh God please help me. I start with God did make us all but He did not make us to treat each other badly that is a decision we make on our own. I repeat does everyone understand God does not make us liars. Yes, yes they repeat we understand. I know somewhere last night a little girl was telling her mommy Mrs. Melissa said God is who makes us mean and liars. Please pray that I get to do lunch again.

Honesty
Sorry I have not posted it has been crazy here. I have been sick for the past two weeks and have pretty much done nothing except what I have to.
I have this amazing daughter who cannot tell a lie. I am like that(not the amazing part) but I don't lie. Even when I should. I always tell the truth. I don't know if its a moral compass thing for her or she knows if she admits something its hard for us to do anything except go well lets not do that again. Last night Andy is getting Pumpkin to sleep and I am laying on the couch. I hear her talking and in a minute she appears next to me. "Daddy made me upset and I can't go to sleep" she informs me. I said well what did daddy say to make you upset? "Daddy said I was not taking going to sleep serious", I then said are you being difficult? Her response "oh yeah I am being really difficult". I busted out laughing she said "well I am". Needless to say she turned around and went to bed and was asleep in five minutes but I am still laughing today about her honesty. I love that she feels comfortable with us to tell the truth. I hope it will stay that way.
