What a great day we had with our friends. They just moved to the country and they are having so much fun. It is so nice and peaceful out there it is hard to leave.
We made some really cute salt dough ornaments.
Here is the recipe:
2 cups of flour
1 up of salt
1 cup of water
Now mix it all for about 10 minutes ( she did it in the Bosch mixer for about 3 minutes) I think this is what makes them so smooth and less cracked looking.
Then bake at 225 for an hour.
Then they can b with acrylic paint .
Oh ya, don't forget to poke a hole in it with a straw before putting it in the oven.
Ok, back on track.
We had a wonderful time at the Fall Festival and then with our annual Trick or Treating with Laurie.
We did have one thing happen that I want to record for me to remember. Whil we were out trick or treating there was a little 4 year old boy with our party going door to door (there were about 25-30 kids) and he got lost. Yes, in the dark, lost in a dark neighborhood, without us. He got confused and went with the wrong group of people.
He did eventually get found Praise God!
But this is the cool part, hubby and I had taken the kids and got in our car to drive around and look for the boy. Daughter stayed behind with the others. Well, I didn't know it but my dear daughter suggested to the group that she lead them in a PRAYER for the boy's safe return. When I heard this I honestly felt like a parent who was sitting at the Grammys watching a child receive an award. I really do have no greater joy than to know my children walk in the truth. Are we perfect, goodness not even close. But she gets it! She was not even ashamed to do it in front of a large group! Thank you God for keeping watch over her precious heart and giving her the wisdom to think of prayer first! I hope she remembers to pray first in all circumstances the rest of her life!
There are a few pictures at he top of the post from last week. We went to the zoo with one of my good friends and had a great time. We made lots of memories.
