Yep, I'm a MONTH behind in blogging!!!!
The Sharpe household has officially gotten SUPER busy!!!
This past weekend was Winterfest weekend....which for those of you who don't know what this is, it's equivalent to like Passion and other conferences that youth go to, with bands and speakers....David Crowder Band was there along with other bands....Eddie James was awesome too!! and we had 3 amazing speakers!!!
Here is Jason & me at wfest....can you tell we're TIRED lol!!!
We took nearly 50 people this past Friday through Saturday, and it was just amazing!!! God really moved in the lives of our youth and even leaders, and that is what it's all about!!!!! Even though i'm EXHAUSTED lol!
Then the next big event weekend is March 28-29th, and that's Teen Talent, which my job and Jason being a youth pastor is very involved in, and has made us super busy....and for those who don't know what this is, it's different Divisions such as Drama, Music, Writing, Art, that the kids in our state's denomination compete in.....so anyways, our youth are very involved in this!!!
And you're thinking, well how is Peyton and where does he fit into all this....
Peyton is great, and he is such a Pastor's kid, and does so well with everything....thankfully we have Jason's parents that live right here in Cleveland, that Peyton goes and stays with in times like this.....
He is such a sweet lil man...I'm adding some pictures of him from a service where all the kids went down from 18 years of age to younger, and you can barely see him worshiping....i love it! He really loves being in church (and thank goodness b/c we're there every single week) I am trying to teach him to not run in church, in the sanctuary, and not to get on the stage, and that's so hard when other kids run around and get on the stage, but he's learning that this is God's House, and we need to respect it....it's even harder that we meet in an actual middle school right now too....but he's doing great with it!!!
He is loving being outside too now that the weather is getting warmer, I'm adding some park pictures too!
Today my parents and sister, Emily, are coming in through Easter Sunday, I'm very excited about that, they have never spent Easter w/Peyton and they haven't spent Easter with me since I was in college!!! They are going to take Peyton on Wednesday and Thursday to an overnight trip to Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg....:0) Peyton woke up at 7:45 this a.m. asking if they were here yet....poor lil guy, kids don't understand the concept of time, and if your kid does, teach me how to teach Peyton to know what it is ;0)!!!!
Until later...

Here's a "time" tip. I do this with Chandler and it REALLY works!! Let him pick out a cool wall calendar. Hang it in his room and write important dates on it... birthdays, holidays, doctor's appointments. Then add your weekly stuff... we have cheer leading on Tuesdays, Cherub choir on Wednesday night at church, etc... When Chandler asks me, "Is it time for....??" She has to go look at her calendar and count the days and come back and give me the answer. It has REALLY helped. Now, the hours in a day are still a little tough, but she's not asking me every single day, "Is it time for cheer leading yet?"
I usually put time references on things like, "After lunch we will..." or "We will not go there until daddy gets home from work."
We got a calendar from highlights magazine... it came with holiday/special occasion stickers... Chandler told every single person we saw today, "Today is the first day of Spring... it says so on my calendar!"
