my week at a glance

on tuesday these two precious people you see in the picture below made a little girl's day so special! this couple mentors two kids in my class. one of the kids' birthday was tuesday and they showed up with cupcakes for the whole class because they knew that most of the kids' parents at my school can't afford to send cupcakes for their kids' birthdays! such kind people!
later that afternoon i looked out my rearview mirror and saw elmo's life being threatened from the backseat of my car! :)
wednesday night i went to the tulsa workshop worship service. amazing ac cappella music! i am so grateful to god that we still live in a country where we are free to gather and worship him (even though things are happening in our government right now that i don't like.).
thursday afternoon we went to k-mart for a few things (i don't normally shop at k-mart but wal-mart is so stinkin' crowded that i really hate going in there!). the varmints discovered some blue singing fish on the easter aisle. the fish are like the big mouth bass that was popular a while back. they are apparently the fish that are used to make the mcdonald's filet-o-fish sandwich. they sing this whole sad song about being eaten. the varmints thought they were hysterical. they both manned 2 fish and had synchronized fish singing! more than one k-mart employee came down the aisle to see what all the music and laughing was about!

and of course our week wouldn't be complete without a visit to our favorite duck park! i love the geese because they are just so fearless. they walk right up to you and stick their honking beaks right in your business!
my favorite duck, chuck (i named him!), waddled over to see me! (daryl thinks he's ugly. that is so mean!) poor chuck is pigeon-toed!
we also met this adorable little dog on our visit to the park. she was so friendly! i had a hard time getting her picture because she was jumping all over us!
a few flowers were starting to bloom! not only are these beautiful, but they smell SO good!
in case you can't tell, that's the moon just to the right of the branches. it looked much cooler in person.
today i slept in really late, ate a few cheeseballs for lunch and went to wal-mart with the family. colby got his hair cut there at the salon. when the stylist was finishing up on him she asked me if i wanted his neck rounded or straight. i told her i really didn't care because no one had ever asked me that before. they just cut his hair. about that time colby chimed in and said, "uhh...i like my neck just the way it is!!!" i couldn't help but laugh! i reassured him that the lady wasn't going to cut his neck....just the HAIR on his neck! too funny!

while i was trying to have a quiet moment outside this afternoon, i took a few pictures:

of course my moment didn't last too long. the varmints found me when they were out looking for "their sticks".

colby made friends with the weinie dog next door. his name is dash.
