A pretend birthday party...

 
Johanna's birthday is in November, but we had a practice round today (her idea).  :)  She invited 20 pretend guests and we made out a few invitations.  Next, she set the table!!  She was very thorough...
 
She was later the waitress and requested that her hair be put up in pigtails, then she draped a towel over her arm; set a bowl on a plate (her tray); and served her guests. Tracy Jo was plenty happy to go along with it all, as she got served the snacks (real food---oranges and things).  :)
 
Josephine came over there for some apples from Zach and Paula's trees
(their trees are also very productive this year, and Paula was glad to share from the sounds of it),
so Johanna and Tracy Josephine helped us pick for over an hour.
 
When I got home, the others were just eating the delicious supper that Mom had prepared, so I joined them.  Then, my brothers did the chores while Dad got caught up on computer things and Mom and I finished doing a quick clean job in the house.   And then, we were thoroughly lazy and watched a movie.
 
So far, we have no plans for tomorrow, so it will be a nice change to just rest!!
 
God bless you all this weekend and help you through your individual struggles
and fill you with His peace and love and joy.~
