Weekend Adventures: Harvest Carnival and Child Heroes

November 1, 2014 Leave a Comment

Halloween is one of those “hot topics” that each year as Kai gets older I think of what will we do as a family? As a child I trick or treated until I was around seven or eight and there was a huge sweep of concern about candy being tampered with and then as my mom became involved in church it was deemed “Satan’s holiday.” I’m sure some of you can relate and it was really a damper on my day when I no longer could get candy by the pillow case load…

So now that we’re parents and I’ve had time to really come to my own conclusions about any and all holidays – Mike and I decided the best approach is the same way we do anything. Either we give it a purpose or we explain why we do something else…but we will always see it as an opportunity to serve and learn!

Our church hosts a Harvest Carnival each year and this year we helped out. Since we agreed no costumes I made our shirts! If you’ve been around long enough you know that Kai is obsessed with Yo Gabba Gabba! So He was beyond thrilled to be his favorite heroes in the whole world! Praise God for felt and it’s magical wonders ha.

Mike even loved his shirt and joined in on the fun! I had a blast making the shirts and am looking forward to doing something special each year. I hope you had a wonderful time with your families and had tons of candy!!

If we can gift our kids anything - quality time ov If we can gift our kids anything - quality time overrides it all.

Staying intentionally present and less annoyed at the little things. Also taking out my Nikon more this month 📷

In just a few months we’ll be celebrating 10 yea In just a few months we’ll be celebrating 10 years.

I love who we are today, because of how we committed to growing/learning through the last nine years. 

Working on ourselves has made room to see the worth and value of us together. 

Expecting your partner to be everything, fix everything, and fill everything - will leave you with nothing. For me to be at my best I have learned that space and role is reserved for Christ.

Releasing those expectations, owning your growth, and finding ourselves deeper in Jesus continues to be our glue. 

That and lots of random 😏 time... these kids didn’t show up on their own. #ourownmarriagegoals
Since December we have been practicing how to rest Since December we have been practicing how to rest as a family - real soul rest and it’s been life giving.

On Friday evenings we cook together and disconnect. Last weekend we made this challah bread and it was delicious! Mike and I look through new recipes to prep for our time. This recipe is on the blog!

Slowing down last year taught us how unhealthy being “busy” and doing more was for us individually, as a family, and even for our kids. We were functioning in rhythms that may have appeared to be beneficial - but had negative side effects. 

2020 allowed us to refocus and shift. Mike and I knew God desires for our home to benefit most - because it’s our first ministry. 

Family rhythms look unique to you and I pray yours is reaping the best it can this week ♥️ #familyrhythms #familyisourfirstministry
