{Lu has a Girl Crisis}

 Every school girl dreads Gym day.  You can't wear pretty dresses, or pretty shoes, and you get all sweaty and are forced to play dodge ball, or climb a rope all while dumb boys you pretend to not like are watching, and or hitting you with dodge balls. 
 Well my Lu is no exception to this dreaded hated gym day. And this week makes it worse because she has school pictures ON gym day. So she was forced to wear gym shoes with a dress.  A NoNo in Lu's book. To make matters worse this is the second year in a row picture day has landed on her gym day.
So now we hate picture day, and rightly so.

{Lu and Jellybean go to the country}

We went to the hills of Kentucky this weekend to visit my cousins and Aunt.  We rode horses, four wheelers, ate great food, and laughed. A lot. It was a great get away weekend.  The best part: no cell phone service.  It was great because we were all so engaged the entire weekend with each other, and not what was happening outside of us.   


 Oh.  I failed to mention Jellybean was scared to death of the real horse.  So my aunt found a better option for her.  She is SO her mothers daughter:)


After my Aunts house we went further into the hills, and went to the family cemetery. Every September we get together and have a church service. Since its the only time my Aunts get the whole family together for church, they find it necessary to hire as many pastors as they can find.  This year we only had 3. So it only lasted 3 hours- thats short compared to years past:) Needless to say Jellybean got restless, so we wondered around the graveyard to look at the stones. Jesus was her favorite:) Mainly because she is in this stage where she finds it necessary to honk peoples noses, and she could honk his nose. Yes. My Jellybean honked Jesus's nose.  I'm sure he loved it.
