Sydney is 10

It is hard to believe that it has been 10 years since Sydney came into this world and changed our lives. Not only was she our first child, but she was also the first grand baby. She has made a pretty good guinea pig for us all.

Today should be a fun day for her. She has field day at school today. She is very excited about this even though it is raining. They are moving the games indoors and she is fine with that.
Tonight she has a meeting for her summer drama program. She will get her script and music and have to learn it before she starts rehearsals in June. After her meeting we will probably take her out to get a quick dinner.

Tomorrow night she is going to have several of her friends over to spend the night and have a spa party. She is very excited about this. And so we are not outdone by my sister Heather, we are going to have yet another party on Saturday with the family.
I better go....I have a lot of shopping to do and a few cakes to bake.

Proverbs

I love Proverbs. Most are thought to be written by the wise King Solomon (son of David). The Lord appeared to Solomon and told him that he could ask for anything that he wanted. Solomon asked for wisdom. According to the Bible the Lord made him more wise than any man. Here are a few Proverbs that stood out to me while I was doing my reading this morning.

17:12 Better to meet a bear robbed of her cubs than a fool in his folly.

17:15 Acquitting the guilty and condemning the innocent - the Lord detests them both.

17:28 Even a fool is thought wise if he keeps silent, and discerning if he holds his tongue.

18:2 A fool finds no pleasure in understanding but delights in airing his own opinions.

18:9 One who is slack in his work is brother to one who destroys.

18:13 He who answers before listening - that is his folly and his shame

18: 22 He who finds a wife finds what is good and receives favor from the Lord.

New one for the Red Neck Dictionary

I was driving the kids to school this morning when I noticed that Kenzie was wearing some old sandals. They fit just fine, but the front of them are scuffed. She has brand new white sandals that she could have chosen, but oddly enough she likes wearing her sisters hand-me-downs. I told her (in my best redneck accent) that her shoes were tow-up. Sydney asked me if that meant they were to small. She thought that toe up was a way of saying that shoes are too small.

TOE-UP \ˈtō - ˈəp\ - adjective -Toe length exceeds shoe length
