Bowling

You need to mentally prepare yourself for these pictures. I mean seriously...these are AWESOME! A two year old in baby bowling shoes and a six pound neon orange ball. IT. DOES. NOT. GET. ANY. BETTER. THAN. THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fridays are excellent. The after school program kids don't have homework. It's the end of the week. We all just want to play. What better than a trip to the bowling alley with a dozen kiddos???!!! Of course Katelyn is always included in the big kid field trips and she's always really excited to ride on the bus and participate in all the craziness...

Kateybug was serious about rolling this ball. She pushed that thing as hard as she could and that ball could not have rolled any slower down the lane. But she watched and waited and then gave everyone high fives when she knocked some pins down. HILLARIOUS!

Whoop, there it is! Did you see that strike?? (just kidding...she's only two).

Katelyn is so animated. She's hollering at someone and she's serious about something. She talked nonstop ALL DAY today. I heard the phrase "Hey mama...." no less than 2000 times.

Here are my girls. Aren't they fabulous!

Working with inner city kids has its challenges for sure...but it sure has its joys as well. Today was super fun and I love that I get to be in full time ministry and be a full time mom as well. Sometimes it's tough to juggle all of that but I am so blessed to get to do what I do with the kids and Katelyn LOVES getting to tag along. The kids really are great with her. They're so helpful and they look out for her and let her participate. Yesterday Katelyn got to be part of their kickball game. She was thrilled to kick the ball and run around the bases. Katelyn said several times today that she wanted to go to school with the big kids. I'm already looking into preschools. That's next... Katelyn's new thing she's working on is letter sounds. So she's constantly asking, "Mama, what letter does (insert word) start with?" And then she'll answer herself with the letter. She's got most of her consonants down. She's a smart little girl for sure!

Lisette was our high scorer today with a 123~! She even beat me (sad I know since we had the bumpers up).

I know what we'll be taking Grammy and Papa to do when they get here... You better grease up your ball....Katelyn's pretty good.
