We ate, laughed, shared something about ourselves...It was so much fun!!! As we were eating the topic of Christmas came up, we talked about having a Christmas without Santa, raising children that know what the holiday really means, and of course the topic of children in general was fun. We had all different ages and stages so the input was great, hence the saying, If you want to know how to climb the mountain ask someone who has done it. It was especially funny to see their faces when I told them I didn't use any antibacterial wipes, soap, etc! You would have thought I said I killed someone HA HA. At that point I knew I really shouldn't tell them I bathe the kids every other day and don't vaccinate the kids, but I refrained.
After we ate we played a game where we had to write 3 things about ourselves that no one else knew.
Mine were:
1. When I was young I took candy off the shelf and ate it without paying for it...Actually I did end up paying for it with my own money. :)
2. I love rainy days and gloomy weather.
3. I want to home school my kids.
----Not tooo exciting I know------
When our time was up I had to go back to church and get the kids, I decided to bring them back to Josie's lovely home, since she is expecting her first grandchild in March and I thought she could use some practice. She was so good with the kids! She too had her children close like mine so she had alot of good advice.
I spent about 4 hours over there today and it flew by!!! Being amongst fellow women and being able to exhort each other is what it is all about.
--Sorry no pictures, forgot my camera...
It was fun!! you really did surprise me with the no antibacterial wipes at Walmart thing :)
