All in a Days time!

The days seem to go so FAST -- filled with all the "go-go-go" of a 22 month old and a mom ... and on this day -a little dad too! We started off by going to the playground at Ft. Gordon - this is the best one we've been around to YET!! Slides, swings, and all kinds of things to run on!
Here is Benjamin with his friend Zaley sitting watching the horses and B. peaking through the slats on the playground ... he thought he was hiding!

Here is Benjamin and I on the slide... can you tell he wants to go again ...
not pose for a picture with Mom!
Then home for lunch and a nap - a 3 hour nap for Benjamin at that - and lots of work for me!
Jonathan was home from Chick-Fil-A a little after 1 - got the WHOLE yard mowed - and Benjamin was STILL asleep!
We then got a phone call to help put up the FIVE banners in Grovetown - that advertise the Grovetown Heritage Days Festival!! Benjamin was a TROOPER and was VERY obedient about sitting and helping... when there were lots of cars around I would say: "don't get up" - he'd repeat: "no get up, no get up" - over and over -- all for a promised "tweet tweet!"

So as for the Grovetown Heritage Days Festival...

9am to 3pm
"Downtown Grovetown" - across from City Hall

I am sponsoring a BAKE SALE b00the as a FUND RAISER for our
children's park here in Grovetown... GOODALE PARK which is in desperate need of repair!
Anyone that wants to help out... please feel free and let me know!

So - signs put up, and when we returned all of the equipment etc, (including a 1950's WOODEN music box on loan to Benjamin for the evening) - Mrs. Rosa Lee OWENS (not relation though)- was standing at the door with a Lemon Meringue Pie -- so Benjamin got his TREAT!

Last but not least - a BATH, scriptures, prayers, and some bedtime stories with dad --
as you will see, don't forget your pillow when you come visit!

What great pictures- you are a very talented photographer. I admire you so much for all you do in the church, in your family, and in the community. You are always doing something good for someone.

Wow! I will think about you the next time I feel entirely unmotivated to get anything done - and I'll hope you're doing enough for the both of us =).

Fun! What a cute little family you are! How awesome are you, Rach, trying to improve the local park! I hope that all goes well and that you get tons of support. We can't wait to see you guys - I'm totally looking forward to it!
