I didn't really shoot anything today. All I did was a light test on Little Man.

Blessings:

1. I sold some stuff on Zazzle! Fun! (I didn’t make much, but it paid for the shipping on my Zazzle order.)

2. I’ve been reading through some Scrivnerburg funnies over the last two days. My family is awesome!

3. We’re one day closer to camping! (I really love camping, and I’m especially looking forward to doing it the “easy” way this year.)

4. I survived the school day mostly without Ken. Felice was here for reading, too – thankfully. Six kids and a baby is a lot for one person in the homeschool classroom.

5. The house is quiet.

How do I choose one picture from today?

Blessings:

1. We bought a travel trailer today! Yay! It won’t come home until later in the week,

2. Our church was “Outside the walls” today. We had the opportunity to serve a couple ladies in the community, and it was fun! One of the ladies was my mom, and she is very pleased with the results of the work on her property. (Check the link to see some photos.)

3. Sunday naps! I meant to lay down for a 20 minute snooze…somehow that turned into an hour and a half. Oops. Oh well…it was great!

4. An impromptu date. Ken and I went to look at the trailer, and afterwards we stopped for dinner.

5. Dale. He is such blessing. He took care of all of the kids while we went to Hamilton and then out to dinner. Such a good kid. He even got the baby to bed, and handled a disobedient child.

Such a great Sunday!

This is a LARGE insulated tote. I made it today!

Blessings:

1. Craft time! I haven’t sewn anything in weeks, so I was very happy to spend some time making my insulated tote today.

2. Eternal Chicken. You know those rotisserie chickens you can get at the grocery store deli? My mom calls those eternal chickens because they provide so many meals for her. I got 2 for my family for dinner. I love those things!

3. It’s a low-key Saturday night. Since our church is going to be doing outdoor service projects tomorrow instead of meeting as we normally do, I’m going to have the kids do their weekend bathing after working outside tomorrow. That means no bath fights tonight!

4. Everything is good. My life is good.

5. Little Man ate his first something-or-other by himself! He didn’t eat it all, and most of it ended up on his clothes, but I gave him a Baby Mum-Mum Rice Rusk and he liked it!

This just looks like trouble.

Blessings:

1. It’s Friday!

2. My children amuse me – even when they are doing crazy, foolish things. I think we need to have a conversation about standing on top of things that are standing inside wheeled wagons.

3. I have a wonderful husband.

4. I’m looking forward to “worship outside the walls” on Sunday – our church’s 5th Sunday work day.

5. I have multiple bouquets of “sunshine flowers” around my house. Gotta love spring!

Goofballs!

Blessings:

1. Goofballs! My kids and Felice’s girls were having a great time at the dinner table today. Rose thought she was hilarious with this “drinking out of the jug” thing. They’re all so much fun.

2. Virtual trailer hunting. I’m still on the hunt, but today I found a travel trailer that makes my heart flutter… I’m waiting to hear back.

3. Clingy baby. It’s a blessing in disguise. He wanted me all day, but that does prove that he really does love me – even if he tries to tell me Daddy is his favorite.

4. Prayer time with my husband.

5. A quiet house. I love it when all I hear is the dishwasher.

April 25, 2012

Blessings:

1. Walking the trail through the park and finding cattail fluffs.

2. Dinner out with the whole family. Fun times.

3. Well-behaved children.

4. Special Olympians – Andrew and Austin had a great time in the track and field events.

5. Quiet time to work. It was late, but it was quiet.

My dad with Little Man and Nathan. I love Little Man’s grip on Dad’s shirt.

Blessings:

1. I got my portion of our work project caught up – for at least 36 seconds. My manager saw that it was caught up and added a bit more work so I’m not caught up anymore, but I was!

2. Our weather ran the gamut today, but we spent great time outside anyway.

3. We had our first baseball picnic today! Fun times!

4. I have the most wonderful husband in the world.

5. The house is quiet. Sometimes I think I shouldn’t stay up so late, but then I realize that my sanity is more closely tied to my moments of quiet than my hours of sleep. I need the hour or two of absolute quiet I get after everyone is asleep (or at work).
