Funnest

"That was my funnest birthday ever, mom". Worth all the work. 6 busy little boys.

7 and 25

7 is the number of wins which are needed by the cubs over the next 2 weeks (starting on October 1st) in order to reach the World Series.

I am 22. Probably asked for fire insurance many times growing up in Community Gospel Church in Bremen Indiana. However a more appropriate life changing volitional choice by God's grace was done during the summer of 1986. So that would make me 22 as well.

I would think those 22 years will help me deal with these next 7 victories.... Atleast I hope so!

Go CUBBIES

22

I am on a little bit of a numbers kick today. Janelle Prenkert was talking on her blog about the date she bacame a believer in Christ. Mine was August 14th 1986. Wow, I am 22. I think I should be more mature than I am. Can't use the excuse that I am a new Christian anymore, not that I have for long time. How old are you?

9

The number of books I have unfinished on my nightstand. It is very sad. I have a hard time finishing a book. I really want to, I really NEED to. Here they are:
Encouragement by Beth Moore
Praying Gods Word by Beth Moore
At First Sight by Nicholas Sparks
Living What you Believe(bible study)
I'm glad Im a mom by Jill Savage
My Hearts at Home by Jill Savage
Shepherding a Child's heart by Tedd Tripp
Surviving the Teenage Hormone Takeover by Nisha Jackson
Jerry Bakers Terrific Garden Tonics
This is kind of an eclectic group of books, made me giggle to read them out loud!

6

My baby boy, Andrew, turned 6 on tuesday. He told me I can't call him my baby boy any more since he is 6 now. I promptly told him he will always be my baby boy. That led to a math lesson of addition by 32. "when I am 80 you will be how old?" "Dead" I said. Anyway, he had a good day and he is having friends over tomorrow for a little party. He is very excited.
As is tradition in the Bennett abode, the birthday child gets to choose the evening meal. He chose chicken parmigian, salad, garlic bread and raspberries. We had leftover chocolate cake from celebrating with Grandma and Grandpa Reaker on Sunday. He is having a baseball cake for his party tomorrow, and a pinata.

Istep...and other random things

As most of you know, This week and last week was ISTEP week!!! YIPPEE. Today was my last day of Istep, but not the last day for my brothers and sisters or for the 8th graders. HA. Anyways, Istep is the Indiana state test(and I have no idea what the E and P stand for. hee hee.)

My dad just walked in and read that and he was all like "The E and P stands for educational program." and I was like "Wow dad. You are such a nerd." :D :D

OMG. Ok, I brought my phone charger to my friends house when she was having her birthday party, right? Well I accidently lost it there. She looked and looked but its not in her house, so someone accidently took it. SIGH. Oh well. We learned my Dad's car charger works on mine. Which is good news!

Ok, I havta go get ready for bed. YAWNN.. Good Night!

Cubs

Its the first time the cubs have won the division in two consecutive years since 1907 and 1908. That's right that is also the last time they won the world series. The stars are lining up..... This could be the year.

If I were manager here is my rotation:
Zambrano in Game 1. Harden in Game 2.

if we win both games then go with Lilly for game 3. If we lose one or both then go with Dempster for game 3.

Playoffs begin Oct. 1st. I did sign up for the OUTSIDE chance of getting playoff tickets.

Go CUBBIES!!!!!
