Whaz Up

This year at girls camp, the theme for the stake was Up.  We had 7 ups (step, lift, rise, speak, cheer, look, and wake) that were our focus during the week.  It was a very service-oriented week.  Here's some of what went on at girls camp:

certification

line dancing

adventure books

devotionals

singing tree

family home evening

golden hour

service projects

story time

skits

ice cream social

sunrise hike

bug spray

lake time

shower time

braiding hair

painting nails

duct tape rings

crafts

faith walk

challenge course

lasso your dreams games

dinner with bishopric

testimony meeting

cabin cleaning

late nights

fly swarms

great food

hard beds

Uinta Ground Squirrels (potguts)

deer

moths

It was a great girls camp this year and I'm so glad I got to go with Daughter #1 again.  I just love getting to know the girls and the leaders better and in a relaxed setting.  It was a great experience.

Letters

Dear Pansy, Daisy, Tulip and Matilda, 

Is it really necessary to make such a ruckus while deciding who will sleep where in the coop?  I appreciate you hens putting yourselves to bed every night, but really.  A little more calmly, please.

Love, Tara

Dear Morning Glories,

You won the battle months ago, and I acknowledged it then, so you can stop trying to win.  This is getting silly.

Love,  Tara

Dear Dishes and Laundry,

I know you are both just looking for attention, but multiplying every time I turn my back is not the way I'd like you to do it.  Washing and putting away yourselves would get my attention very nicely.

Love,  Tara

Dear Family,

Thank you for only creating a small amount of contention during our Family Home Evening tonight.  It was nice to remain in a good mood.  Unlike last night.  Ahem.

Love,  Mom

Dear Kitchen Blinds,

I'd like to thank you for being willing to get cleaned today.  You sure were grody and now are so white and beautiful.  Let's see if you can stay that way for a good long while, okay?  Especially the one above the sink.

Love,  Tara

Dear Etsy Users,

Thank you for looking at my shop and favoriting items I've made.  It sure gives me a thrill to see a good number of views in my shop.  I'm still waiting to sell one of you something, so keep on looking at my stuff and it will happen someday.

Love,  socuteandfumps

Dear Amazon,

Thank you for having so many free ebooks for my Kindle.  I've read many stories I wouldn't have thought to read if it wasn't for you.  Arabian Nights is currently being read and thoroughly enjoyed.  Keep up the good work and free ebooks!

Love, Tara

Two New Callings

This morning my son and Daughter #1 each met with a bishopric member.  My son has been asked to be the secretary in the Teachers Quorum and Daughter #1 will be the 1st counsellor in the Beehive class.  My son was set apart today and my daughter will be set apart next week.  This will be a great opportunity for both of them and I know they will do well and be responsible in their callings.  I'm very proud of both of them for accepting these new responsibilities.

Today is the Day...

I will do everything on my to-do list.  It's mostly a bunch of little, easy tasks.  I will not be distracted by media or naps.  I will stay focused.  I will do this!!!

No More Laundry!!!!!
