praise: we have been offered a new mattress and box springs-ours gives me backaches. we get to have papa john's for supper tonight.
prayer: dave has a ct scan on his neck today-pray that there is nothing wrong. derek and amanda are driving home today/tomorrow because of a mandatory evacuation at clearwater christian. pray for safety and wisdom.
playfulness: as i was working in the kitchen this morning, i heard the kids concocting a surprise for me. the oldest niece was instructing the younger ones on what to do. they then called and said, "aunt nicki, we have a surprise for you." when i went into the living room, the son was standing in a way so that you could still see his head behind the couch, the nieces then proceeded to jump up from behind the couch to yell "surprise". they were quite proud of themselves as i "screamed in fright" at the tremendous surprise, so they tried it two more times.
today, the son put a big clear plastic bowl over the daughter's head. i thought for sure she was going to cry-but she actually smiled for a moment. i guess she's becoming used to his "torture".
