Time out for Women

Time out for Women
Friday evening April 29 and Saturday April 30 I was able to spend time with my mother-in-law and sister-in-laws as we attended Time out for Women, a conference members of our church organized.  It was nice to spend time with family and hear some inspiring talks about being a woman in today's world. 

me, Janice, Sheri, Jenny, Lisa, Sharon

While I was there, Dode was in charge back at home.  He took the children with him to help a family move into the ward.  Then, they went to a park to celebrate.  That afternoon, Randy and Lisa's kids came over for another play day.  Two weekends in a row, hooray!  We beat up Allison pretty badly.  Jared was trying to teach her how to do a back flip on the trampoline.  Instead of flipping her all the way around, he landed her directly on her head.  Then, she was driving the Trail 90 and lost control of the bike.  She road it straight into a blackberry patch.

Babies?  Check!

Laser guns? Check!

Jenna said a cute thing.  She was talking to Dode and told him that we are so lucky.  When he asked why, she told him because it's always grey where she lives but it's sunny where we live.  (Both Saturdays that she's been over to play are the only sunny days we've had in months.)

Allison said the only positive thing is maybe her mom would let her skip the nylons at church the next morning!

Allison did an inventory when she got home. 

Left arm= 61 scratches or thorn punctures

Right Arm:  53 scratches

Longest scratch:  9 1/2 inches

She gave up before she started counting the scratches on her legs
