I try to do one activity a week with other English speaking kids. Half the time I return home in the three wheeled auto so tired that I want nothing to do with "play dates" for the next six years. All the kids remotely close in age to my children seem to live a small lifetime away. Imagine a 20 minute drive in which you pass more than a thousand people on hundreds and hundreds of different forms of vehicles. The sheer density of humanity in our city at times takes my breath away. Sparrows aside how can God know the number of hairs on so many different heads and care for each soul. Immensity beyond fathom.
Off the rabbit trail back to today's blog on Apple Dunking. It was a Harvest Party thrown by a Super Mommy of Two. Granted she had her parent's support along with a cousin traveling through with spouse. That aside it was FABULOUS. Everyone was to come as a Bible character. Personally I felt the little boy who came as Balaam's Donkey took the cake but many felt that Zana was the show stealer. She came as Samson. I put a muscle shirt on her and the wig, pictured below, and PRESTO..... hair was the costume to beat all costumes.
She pranced around in the grass (did I mention grass, Abe basically rolled in it he was so delighted). One little girl yelled at her mom to "Look at the GRASS, GRASS Mommy, there is Grass." I was thankful I'm not the only mom without a wedding lawn across from my front door where my kids can play.
I basically let my two darling children run and run and run. When Abe absconded an apple from the bobbing bin and started munching I didn't even make him put it back and try to bob. They both had a blast and I felt blessed by someone else's hard work to entertain and love so many children.
The party was worth the traffic jam on the way home.

Obviously she is not in full costume here as the muscle shirt has been replaced by pink.
Very manly.
Samson had BLUE eyes right?
Maybe she should have been Delilah.
Check out those thighs.
