Notes From the Last Few Days

Assembling trampolines are not nearly as fun as jumping on them.

Baba teaching Jovi, “Obeying your parents is in the Bible.”  Jovi responds, “That’s not in my Bible, Baba.”

Catching up with old friends is a blessing.

Drinking lots of juice can cause cavities.

Emailing seminary assignments precisely when they are due can be tricky considering time zones.

Flinging bread where only a duck can reach it, rather than dozens of geese, is extremely satisfying.

Good playground slides make even parents try them out.

Hearing a good apologist answer tough questions makes you always wish “so-and-so” was there.

If I speak in the tongue of Evrest, but have not food, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal.

Joy is often realized when dessert comes with coffee.

Killing bugs is inevitable when kid’s attempt to love them.

Learning of loss makes one wish to be home.

Maybe feed your kid some lunch if he’s eating the bread for the geese.

Never go to a garage sale when it’s supposed to open.  Always go 15 minutes early.

Outstanding Deal of the Weekend: An unused Whirley Stovetop Popcorn Popper for $8 (no PST either)!

Prerequisites for a PEI trip involve watching all the Anne of Green Gables movies.

Quiet time will be gladly traded for a couple aunts and three cousins.

Reading the weather forecast reminds us what day of the week it is.

Some blog entries take a deceptively long time to write.

Tim Horton’s frozen lemonades are only $1 right now, so go try the raspberry right now.

Utter surprise with Evrest’s appetite for salads (then again, it is food, I suppose).

Violence while sleeping is more justified, than if your brother was bugging you while you were awake.

We really enjoy teaching our current favorite games to family and friends.

Xylophones are necessary for the moment, but piano seems a more responsible choice.

You should always be thankful for what you have, especially if it’s the potential to be lonely.

Zooming over the past couple days is done, and now we’re onto week three of our sabbatical.
