Summer June Gloom in July

It is June Gloom in July. I love the weather but do want it to warm up while we have a few weeks to play in the pool. Karis and I have such fun playing Mermaids. We are always princess mermaids and swim and perform dances and have music blaring.

Speaking of fun--Ellianna spent the night with me again last night. She slept in the bed with Karis, or I should say hogged Karis's bed. Karis--did not know what to think, but then Karis does the same thing when she sleeps with me. They both came running in here to my bed this morning.

Karis went to a Girl Scout project that she is working on this summer...

Ellianna and I went to a favorite: Costco (how boring must I be?????). I bought groceries and looked at the bathing suits for Ellianna (all too big size 4 and up), and she literally gorged on sample tables. She always does. She loves the sample tables. Before she could even eat solids, she would wake up at the sample tables and cry and I would get her a bottle...She plays with the little cups and spoons and forks and stabs me with them while I wheel her in the cart and then rubs my arm like "I'm sorry WaWa --her current name for me--but this is soooo much fun I'm going to stab you again". She talks all the time and finally she conked out in the car, too much Costco excitement! She cried and was angry when I took her home because she had not been able to play outside on the jungle gym stuff with Kiki (Karis). She jabbered about Kiki with big crocodile tears...So I couldn't hardly stand to take her home...

Later went to Thursday Bible study--very good 1 Corinthians 7. Karis went to Pioneer Club and it is soooo fun this summer for the kids with Summer FunFest outside. Tonight they learned about the God's power in times of need and such---the object lesson was an explosion of God's power and they all had bottles of soda and mentos and made them literally into volcanic explosions! I think next week they are doing searches for God's treasure scavenger hunt.

Small church--growing, seeing new people--a different kind of excitement we haven't experienced---reorganized youth ministry getting off the ground---Now, if I could just get saved with all of this going on!!!!!!!!!!!!

Summer---it's not gloomy really---and I like the overcast days---just wanna swim!
