I don't know where Caleb gets all of his energy. Not only does he play sports at school-- all the time-- but when he comes home he plays the Wii or goes outside and shoots hoops. Just looking at him makes me tired.
I was served the most delicious salad for Mother's Day so I asked what the special dressing was. I was excited to learn that it was homemade--- apparently Pampered Chef makes a salad dressing mixer with the recipes for the different dressings right on it. Well, I couldn't wait till I ordered one to make the dressing so I got the recipe from the boys' pre-school teacher.
Oooooooo, is it so yummy! Lemon, garlic, Parmesan cheese.... just a few ingredients that go into this amazing dressing.
For dinner last night, we had a wonderful chicken salad---- so good that I plan on making it for dinner one night for me and the girlies on our weekend getaway. That served with a nice loaf of bread will be perfect! Thanks Gina, for the "to die for" recipe!
Last night when John was gone to his last BSF meeting until September, I played a little game with all of the kids. Its only purpose was to get them to all spend some time together doing something fun with Mom. Each of us took a turn being blindfolded while we tried to figure out whose hand it was that we were touching. I was certain, being the Mom and all that I would get them all right. But of course I was the one that probably got the most wrong--- I think Adam said I guessed seven of the kids wrong. Wow-- was that humbling-- especially when Julia and Caleb missed only one or two.
Still, this little game brought us all together..... until my next idea.
The kids could hardly wait.......
not.

I used to love getting bags of clothes when I was growing up - so fun! And what a great idea for a game!
What a fantastic idea for a game! Obviously it wouldn't have worked with our small family, but it sounds great for lots of people.
OH I like that game...great idea :)
Sometimes I sit at the kitchen table and have all the kids line up and have me guess who is massaging my shoulders! They think it is SOOO fun.. but I am getting a good massage in the meantime :) It is fun to see how different they are and I usally get it right~ How long can I do this until they are on to me?
That dressing sounds wonderful! Now I am in search for someone who sell PC.
Would you share the recipe with us?
I think the hand game was neat, funny that the kids got more right then you did..
I enjoy reading about your amazing family! I, too, loved and looked forward to hand-me-down clothes. I like the game you created; your kids will probably be much more aware of the loving touches of family members than most of us.
May you feel God's special touch in a very real way this week!
