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.....

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...

Daybook....

Good Morning, I am linking up with  The Simple Woman's Blog  for the weekly Daybook For today... February 9, 2015 Outside my window .... Chilly (in the 30's for a high) but no snow.  Most of the snow has melted from the warm temps this weekend. I am thinking ... that I had a great, great weekend with my family. I am thankful. .. that my children view each other as important.  We had to plan Lucy's birthday celebration around Katie's work hours because she just started her new job and can't request time off.  Lucy would have never considered celebrating her birthday without her big sis present. I am wearing. .. my sparkly sweater again.  I must need the sparkles to handle a Monday morning. I am creating ... nothing at the moment, but do have some unfinished projects.  My mind has been exhausted lately and I am just chilling and puttering around. I am praying ... for a family decision that could make a huge difference in our live...

On the Books for January 5, 2015

Today I am joining up with The Simple Woman to give you a peek into my daybook for this week...   Outside my window.... There is a light dusting of snow.  Nothing too intimidating...yet.   I am thinking... That a salad for lunch sounds good today.  I do not usually like salad so this is a little  weird. I am thankful... That I was able to spend quality time with my people the past week and a half.  I am wearing.... Work attire :( no more sweats until whenever I have to leave the house.   I am creating... I just purchased some new yarn over the weekend.  So I am getting ready to start a new scarf and some boot cuffs.   I am going... To Walmart on lunch.  Yep, back to normal this week.  I am wondering.... How many days until the next holiday :)  I am reading.... Just my devotional this week.  I am doing Jesus Calling again this year and maybe the Women of the Bible devotional as ...
