A quick lesson from the weekend

November 10, 2009

I had plans to write about our weekend and my coaching experience but I have a little girl that just informed me that she needs her mama because she had a really bad day and could “use some snuggles”.

And that takes precedence.

But I will share one quick thing I learned this weekend.

It may seem like a good idea to let two little yahoos eat cotton candy in a bag in your bed while they watch a movie, but it’s not.

Actually I knew it wasn’t a good idea at the time but I’m a sucker.

A sucker who had to change the sheets before I went to bed Saturday night.

On a totally different note, a group of Compassion bloggers are in El Salvador this week. I especially loved this post by Molly Piper yesterday.

cotton candy in bed? that doesn’t sound so bad! cookies or crackers would be worse, right?

praying for the compassion bloggers in el salvador. the hurricanes there have been devastating- praying that the weather is clear and beautiful for their trip and that they get some good work done! :-)

You let them eat Cotton Candy in bed!?!? Too funny! They look so cute though. I probably would have let them too.

Too cute!! Cotton candy in bed is a rare delicacy in some parts of the world, you know. I need to go check out Molly’s blog (and find some cotton candy in a bag). :)

Eh, you only love once right??? A little cotton candy in bed won’t hurt anyone, haha!!

Praying for the bloggers in El Salvador!!!! :)

Never thought cotton candy would be too bad. Unless they use the sheets for a napkin. That could get ugly fast!

Oh, don’t you wish you were there with them?? I have read some of their posts and my heart aches for all of the precious children. We are all so blessed!

Oh, and what a fun mom…cotton candy in bed!!

Hanging on every word of Compassion bloggers.

You are one brave mama!

Wasn’t Molly’s post lovely? I hope more children are sponsored through their trip!

Loved, loved, loved Molly Piper’s post. That child DOES deserve to know Jesus. All children (young and old) deserve to know Jesus.
