Yes on Prop 8 in California!

Unbelievable what our world has come to; that we need to vote on whether marriages should be between a man and a woman. God made Eve not Steve for Adam. Ai yi yi!

Pumpkin Patch and Zoo

Yesterday we went to the pumpkin patch and today we went to the San Diego Zoo. We had such fun at each place. I'll post pictures later.

No words needed

Can ya tell I'm around kids all day?

I don't usually have much to talk about, which is why I post pictures. I'm all talked out by the time I get on here! No life-changing perspectives here. It's all about surviving the day. :-)

Mapleview bloggers!!!

For those of you who remember Stephanie R. she now has a blog!! For an update and pics of her family go to Rpartyofsix.blogspot.com

It was so good to talk to her yesteday. We caught up and of course wished we lived closer to one another. I think that all of us Mapleview people should just move some where in the middle of the USA and start our own little commune. What do you say Dawn? Carrie? Stephanie? Crystal? Heather? Wouldn't we all have so much fun and fellowship!!?! Our husbands would enjoy and learn from one another. Our children would LOVE it if they could be with all their friends again and we of course, well, we could cook, chat and enjoy one another. :-) Ah well, we can dream anyway.

And ya wonder why we homeschool here in California?

Date with my boy

Yesterday I took John on a date. We went to Chili's where he devoured a bacon chicken sandwich and then to the movies where we saw Beverly Hills Chihuahua. Hilarious movie. Very cute. It was fun to spend time with him one-on-one. He's such a brilliant social boy that we are waiting on pins and needles to see what God has in store for his future.

Intermitedly we take our children out for dates. We let them decide if they want mom, dad, or both. A few weeks ago we took Joel to see Star Wars: The Clone Wars and to In & Out. We let them choose where and what they want to do. James is next and he wants to go Black Angus and the movies. Can you tell we love movies and food around here?
