LifeShare
Today LifeChurch.tv is starting a 7 day challenge to share Christ with as many people as possible. LifeChurch is an innovative church started by Craig Groeschel over ten years ago. They have multiple locations including an internet campus. This past summer my church, Oasis Worship Centre, participated in their One Prayer series, which involved over 1700 churches, in over 30 different countries.

The Tree House
The girls have had a bunk bed for the past 3 years and have thoroughly enjoyed it. They love sharing a room most of the time and are each others best friends. Ever since they’ve had the bunk bed they have enjoyed making a “tent” out of the lower bunk. They bring out all the blankets in their room and hang them from the upper bunk and will spend hours playing in there and on the weekends love to sleep together in the “tent”. A few weeks ago Freddy realized that a more permanent/non-blanket tent could be made by using some fabric and ribbons or something to tie them on. Being the crafty person I am, I took his idea and expanded it to the top bunk as well. With some more fabric and a handful of cup hooks we could make a tent for the top bunk as well.
So a couple of weekends ago the girls and I took a trip to Joann’s. I gave the girls a couple of ideas of what we could do with the fabric. We could get some with a wood-panel print on them and I could make it look like a cabin in the woods. Maybe we could find a stone print and make a castle. Finally the idea of a tree house is the one they settled on. We picked out a brown fabric with a barky look to it for the bottom bunk and a green fabric with leaves printed on it for the top. After a couple of weekends of measuring, pinning & sewing, we finally put the tree house up tonight.
The Tree house
I’ll have to say this idea was greatly inspired by my mother. When my brother and I were little, she noticed that we liked playing under the card table with a sheet or tablecloth over it. So she took some fabric and made a cover that had a door and windows in it for us to play in.
Hopefully this is the first of many creative things I can make for the girls. I’m thinking the tree house needs flowers around the bottom. And maybe some apples in the tree. And a bird’s nest. And a squirrel or two. We’ve already got a pink monkey.
Birthday Pics
As promised here are some pics from the party.

Rebecca’s Birthday
Rebecca turned 6 on Saturday and we celebrated with friends and family at the local putt-putt place. The girls’ father (my ex-husband) was in town, so we invited him to join us. I think all the adults involved were concerned about the potential of an uncomfortable situation until Freddy & Paul started teasing me about “the Look”. We all had some laughs (at my expense) and everyone seemed to be at ease after that.
I’ll have pictures to put up tomorrow, hopefully! Maybe even a video or two, if I can figure that one out.
