Hi/Lo Thursday

I L-O-V-E this idea...the hi/lo part (although $100 isn't too shabby!). We do this at our high school youth group. It's the first thing we do after our opening prayer. We sit around in a circle and everyone has to say a "pow-wow". We do the pow (lo) first, because we always want to end on a positive (wow/hi) note. :) The teenagers really get to know each other week after week and it helps everyone relax and open up to the group! So here it goes...

My Lows:

1. I got very frustrated one day with AR because we are potty training, and on this particular day she was having many many accidents, without even trying to go to get to the potty in time. Prior to this, she was down to maybe 1 accident a day.

2. Our roof had something on it that was called a metal roof vent (something like that). Well, a piece came loose, and if it rained, we could get some serious leaks. The roofer said they don't even use those anymore, and the entire metal strips across the peaks of our roof had to be torn off and replaced with a different kind of vent (shingles over a plastic vent). It was definitely an unexpected expense.

My Highs:

1. J is learning how to give kisses on the lips. He is so cute when he leans in with his slobbery lips wide open and plants one on you. You need a towel. :)

2. I am so thankful that we caught the roof problem in time, BEFORE a heavy rain. That would have been much much worse (and more expensive).


OK...your turn. Go to the website listed above and post your high/low Thursday! Have fun!
