Five on Friday

 
And another week ends....this one felt like a long one, and next week will seem so short because of the holidays.  Are you ready?  I think we are about there.  Planning a little earlier has helped with the stress factor...who knew?  Oh yeah, you probably did, I am a little late for the organization and preplanned boat most days.  Here is what has been keeping us busy this week..
 
 
1.  A snow storm and a bowling party.  The girl's were invited to a birthday bowling party and we braved the bad roads to go.  I even bowled!  We really had a great time and I was glad we went on and went.  Happy Birthday Grace :)
 
 
 
 
 
2.  The Church Christmas program was Sunday morning.  The girl's had parts in the program and then C sang a solo.  It brought tears to my eyes...love those gals of mine.
 
 
 
3.  My niece is home from Haiti where she is a missionary and a preschool teacher.  We have loved catching up with her and hearing all of her stories about the country and her classroom.  Proud does not even begin to encompass how I feel about this girl...
 
 
 
4.  The school Christmas program was this week as well.  Every class and the band did a great job.  It was short and sweet which was perfect for our busy week.

 
 
5.  The tree finally went up and got decorated...and has some presents wrapped underneath.  Wow!  So out of character for this family.....

What's going on around here....

  I am joining up with The Simple Woman's Blog to bring you my weekly day book.  Link up and share yours and read the other links....          For today...February 2nd (Groundhog's Day) 6 more weeks of Winter was the prediction.   Outside my window....Snow.  We got enough to cover everything, but not the storm that was predicted.  I can handle this.  I will admit, snow is beautiful the first day before it gets slushy and dirty.       I am thinking...how nice to have the day off.  Sometimes using a vacation day to hang out around the house is worth it.   I am thankful and in gratitude for... an older daughter who is responsible and can run the house and the family well when left in charge for a few days.   I am wearing...my pajama pants and an Oklahoma Sooners hoodie, this may be what I stay in all day long :)   I am wondering....if raising teenagers will tur...

Friday's Fav Five

Today I am joining it with a new link up for me.  It is hosted by  Living to Tell the Story .   My Friday Fav Five list goes something like this... 1. My three older girls were still up watching television together when I went to bed last night.  My room is right next to the living room so I could hear their conversations.  Although I wasn't ease dropping, I did start to listen.  They were talking about casual and personal things.  I realized that they are all growing up and their conversations with each other are growing as well.  It was like listening to a group of 3 women talking over coffee.  My heart wanted to burst and I may have teared up or actually cried..... maybe. I am so thankful for this wonderful bond they will have with each other for the rest of their lives. 2.  I am just thankful it is Friday.... we have had snow and strep throat at our house this week.  I am ready to shut the books on this we...
