Finishing the A to Z challenge with 2 words for the letter Z. First of all, thank you all who visited and those who faithfully commented on a lot of my posts throughout the month and a big thank you for those who commented on each and every one of them.
For those who have a faith, Z is for Zephaniah 3:17:
The Lord your God is with you; the Mighty Warrior who saves. He will take great delight in you; in his love he will no longer rebuke you, but will rejoice over you with singing.
Remember, he is the Mighty Warrior and he will fight your battles. You just need to be still and know he is God.
For those who might have a faith some day (and might not, and that is okay too), Z is for Zombies:
One of the games grandson plays is called Plants Versus Zombies. It is kind of a cool game, better than some other ones he plays. The zombies are coming to attack and the plants have to kill them. One of the weapons used is a pea shooter (shown on the left). I found the definition for the pea shooter online: The peashooter is a toy version of the blowgun or blowpipe. It is usually a tube that launches its projectiles via blowing. As the name suggests the normal ammunition is peas, though other seeds, fruits, improvised darts, or wadded up paper can also be used.
Of course they would make a pop-it toy with the characters (as well as plushies and so much more).
Just be careful out there and avoid the zombies or if you can't, make sure you have your pea shooter with you.
And that is a wrap!!
Haha that sounds like a wonderful game. Am sure my daughter would love it too...and she is crazy about pop-its ...it's a good way to kill time...much love to ur grandson

Heartiest congratulations on finishing the challenge...i am so glad I came across ur blog. I really hope to stay in touch from May too. My best!!
Yes, we will keep in touch in May! I'll go back to my usual blog posting schedule which is about one a week! Aren't those pop-its the funniest things? My grandson has so many of them! I must admit, when I play with them, they are addicting :)
ReplyDeleteCongrats too for your excellent finish to the challenge! All your posts I followed were fantastic!
betty

Thanks Afshan! I will be following along your blog as you post. It is hard getting back to work or starting a new job. Takes that period of adjustment plus you still have a little one at home! Glad we found each other through the challenge! You take care of yourself too!
Deletebetty
Great end to the challenge! And Plants are the saviours!! Congratulations and all the best!
ReplyDeleteThank you! Plants certainly do a great job in defending against the Zombies!!
Deletebetty
Aww that pea shooter is so cute! I don't have faith but those words are so beautiful! Will visit more of your posts in May! Missed your blog during blog hopping I guess.
ReplyDeleteDropping by from momandideas.com
They are indeed beautiful words! Thanks for stopping by. Hope you enjoyed the challenge too!

Games sure have changed since my day. Of course back then our games were either board games or card games.
ReplyDeleteI know. The times certainly have changed! I'm not sure it was for the best either!! Thanks for following along this month and commenting on all my daily posts! Truly appreciated! Now I'll be back to only posting about once a week or so :)
Deletebetty
They seem to make those Pop Its in about every shape and size. Our granddaughter used to play with those and was just obsessed with them!
ReplyDeleteYes you are absolutely right! Anything can become a pop-it too. I have to admit, they are fun to play with when I'm over with grandson :)
Deletebetty
Congrats on finishing the challenge. It was fun to read your daily posts. Have a great Saturday Betty!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Lori! Thank you for commenting on my daily posts too! I appreciate it!! You have a great Saturday and weekend too! Now I'll be back to posting about once a week, but will be doing my April book review in a few days :)
Deletebetty
Awesome! I'm always looking for book recommendations.
DeleteI have seen the Plant vs. Zombies graphic novels at the library, but didn't realize that it was a game. Good to know when I'm helping kids find a book.
ReplyDeleteLOL. I didn't realize there were Plants vs Zombie books! I'll have to look into them. Fun getting to know you through the challenge and I'll be following along your blog for future entries :)
Deletebetty
Thanks for sharing that verse. And I recognize some of it from various praise songs. I have heard of that game, but had no idea what it was. My grandkids have lots of those pop its, too. Though theirs are pleasant things like hearts…..hahaha!
ReplyDeleteYou are welcome! I just love that verse! It is ridiculous how many pop-its grandson has and I know in a very short time there will be a new fad out there, lol. Thanks for commenting on all my A/Z's!! I appreciate it! Now I'll be back to my maybe once a week post. Will be doing my April book review in a few days :) Have a great rest of your weekend!
Deletebetty
It was fun to get to know you better!
DeleteI have to admit this year's challenge was fun to do. The jury is still out if I'm going to do next year's. I'd say probably not unless I'm not working and then maybe :)
Deletebetty
We have enjoyed all of your A-Z entries. Today makes me smile, remembering the first Zombies I ever heard of I was probably 10. I looked for them and wondered. BUT of course these words SING:
ReplyDeletebut will rejoice over you with singing............................ THANKS be safe. On the road here in Florida
You be safe on the road with your travels! Glad you and Sherry enjoyed my A/Z entries! Zombies are a bit weird, aren't they?
Deletebetty
You did it all the way through!
ReplyDeleteI did!! Thanks for commenting as you did! I hope you are all doing okay. I know you'll miss Disco always.
Deletebetty
Been great to get to know you this April. Im glad I have a warrior in times like these. A pea shooter for Zombies sounds cool.
ReplyDeleteYou did it all the way to Z -celebrate!!
The Man who would lead - Zelensky
Planning to celebrate indeed! Thanks for following along as you did!
Deletebetty
*hahaha* Zombies, indeed!!!! :-D Seeing some of the people I encounter these days, "zombie" is a good word for them. *chuckle* ~Andrea xoxo
ReplyDeleteSo true!! Hope your day is a good one Andrea!

Z for Zephaniah is perfect! Congratulations, Betty!
ReplyDeleteThanks Myra! I love that particular verse from Zephaniah :)
Deletebetty
Great job!
ReplyDeleteThank you! It was fun. Not sure I'll do it next year, but I did enjoy this year's challenge :)
Deletebetty
Zephaniah is a great 'Z' word! This prophet escapes my memories somehow. Great verse to share! I'm a huge fan of The Walking Dead and TWD spin-offs but video games don't appeal to me. Congrats on crossing the A2Z finish line!
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen the Walking Dead or spin-offs. Might have to catch them some time! I know I'e read Zephaniah a few times as I try to read through the Bible every year or so but right now other than this verse, the rest of the book escapes me with what was written in it :) Thanks for visiting!
Deletebetty
congrats on finishing the A2Z challenge :)
ReplyDeleteThank you! Thanks for visiting :)
Deletebetty
Zephaniah is great! I do have faith, thank you for visiting I plan on reading all the blogs and commenting. Congrats to you for finishing the challenge.
ReplyDeleteThank you! It is comforting when one has a faith, isn't it? And the Bible has so many wonderful scriptures in it to meditate upon and to claim as promises! Thanks for visiting :)
Deletebetty
A lot of my students are into Plants Vs. Zombies. It's a fun game.
ReplyDeleteIt is a fun game! I like to watch my grandson play it. Thanks for visiting :)
Deletebetty
I have really enjoyed reading all of your A-Z posts. You definitely came up with some creative entries for each letter. Maybe I will join in next year. I tried to keep up but you know me -- always a few days behind! lol
ReplyDeleteThat is fine that you were a few days behind :) You are so busy with your girls! It is a fun challenge but so time consuming!
Deletebetty
I enjoyed all of your A-Z posts although I don't think I commented on all of them! Thanks for the yogurt recommendation by the way! They are high in protein and also low in carbs which is what I try to watch! And they taste pretty good too!
ReplyDeleteLove those yogurt! It was fun to do the challenge this year! We will see about next year :)
Deletebetty
Congratulations on completing the challenge! Very well done! I enjoyed reading all of your posts and am actually sad it's come to an end.
ReplyDeleteI've not heard of plants vs. zombies. Leave it to the plants to have to save us all!
I learned there are books about them too! So true. Maybe that is how it will all end. The plants will save us!
Deletebetty
Congratulations on getting to the end. My Grandson has a basic pop it as in a multi coloured square. I didn’t know they did them in so many ways! I’m looking forward to having more time to explore new blogs now that the challenge is over. Thanks for your visits
ReplyDeleteYou are welcome! There are so many pop its out there :) A lot of money being made on them :)
Deletebetty
Sounds like a fun game, Betty!
ReplyDeleteTimes certainly have changed. Back in our days, we only had board and card games.
Happy Monday!
It is a cute game! And I agree, so much has changed over the years with games played!
Deletebetty
Nice conclusion to the Challenge. Congratulations on making it to the end!

Tossing It Out
Thank you! Thank you for all your organizing you do yearly for this event!
Deletebetty
Well our Dagny is all about those pop-it things so I won't show her the pea one, haahaaha! xoxo
ReplyDeleteAnd they aren't cheap either! And I know they are going to go out of style so very soon! And then they will be at garage sales for a dime a dozen :)
Deletebetty
Congratulations, Betty - you finished the challenge! I wish I'd have been able to do more visiting, especially your fun and lively posts!
ReplyDeleteThanks! It is sometimes hard to find the time to visit during the challenge. I found I did a lot of my visiting on the weekends, but then I don't do much on the weekends, lol :) Thanks for visiting!
Deletebety
Zombies! Classic! And now I must go catch up. :)
ReplyDeleteI thought it was a nice touch to end the challenge with :)
Deletebetty
That is a great scripture. Thanks for that Betty. I will have to make it a memory verse.
ReplyDeleteI liked reading your blog. I'll have to drop by once in a while. It's great you stuck through it. I ran out of steam at the end. But I'll keep blogging random things that come to my mind. Hope you drop by once in a while.
It is a good memory verse indeed! I will stop by your blog too! The A/Z challenge is a hard one to get through. It is a bit of a grueling schedule. The first year I did it I signed up 3 days before the event and had no idea of what to expect. I made it through but it was a long month! Maybe you'll attempt it next year if you decide to!
Deletebetty
Love the verse you shared. I haven't seen that game yet. Hooray for finishing the challenge!
ReplyDeleteThanks Debby! This is a favorite scripture of mine! I wouldn't be surprised if James ends up playing this game down the line if he is into playing video games. It really is one of the cuter ones that Grandson plays here.
Deletebetty
congrats on finishing the challenge. I have done them this is 4th yr in a row. I did more research this year. Looking forward to the next year
ReplyDeleteThank you!
Deletebetty
I'm a fan of zombies but that game seems like fun for children.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on finishing the A-Z challenge.
Thanks for stopping by my blog. Have a lovely day.
Thanks for the return visit! I do enjoy watching my grandson play this game. Have a nice weekend.
