This is a photo from right before summer...it is the same place we went fishing this morning though.Today has been a great day as a family. We have changed our schedule a little bit for when we go grocery shopping. We used to grocery shop after church on Sundays, so you can imagine how fun that was. I am in the car with the kids trying to keep them entertained and try not to go crazy; minutes seems like hours.
Meanwhile in the store Jenny has a meticulous list of things she needs for the week. She is racing around the store trying to be certain she doesn't miss any items that she needs. Inside the store she is rushing everywhere knowing the rest of the family hasn't eaten yet and that we are waiting and doing our best to be patient in the car. :)
This semester we decided to switch it up. In the morning on Saturdays Jenny arranges with a group of ladies to go do shopping for the week. They go out and have a great time together getting provisions for the week.
Meanwhile I am at home having a ball with the kids and hanging out with the other dad's and their kids. Somehow it is better together. Last week we went down to the park and had the kids play, and hung out with a friend and his kids. This week another dad and I took the kids fishing at the lake. It was a bit crazy trying to keep 4 kids of mine plus 3 of his either fishing and or out of the lake. It was a great time though and I think the kids enjoyed spending time with dad.
James caught a nice size catfish at the ripe old age of 2. So that was awesome. It was probably 7 inches or so. Jada caught a large mouth bass...it wasn't very large though it was only about 3 inches. Elena enjoyed playing with the worms most of all I think. She did some fishing, but neither she nor Emmanuel caught anything this time. I am horribly ashamed to admit that I did not have my camera to get a picture of James with his fish. I will include an old photo...from last summer of the kids down fishing.
