I am by nature a lady who loves hobbies I can do with my hands! I love to do various arts and crafts projects with my girls of course. I love to scrap book, cross stitch, plastic canvas, paint ceramics, and I adore baking. The girls and I just recently made an advent calendar with Katie cutting it out, Dani coloring it in, Hellie glued the pages onto card stock, and then I added the finishing touches with chip board letters, embellishments, and ribbons to hang it by. It was a lot of fun and cute to add our personal touches to. Here is the link to give it a try yourself: http://www.mssscrafts.com/devotions/adventtreasurehunt/
Went to my monthly home school meeting last night and was so blessed for the fellowship and prayer shared with these wonderful women. We had soup, salads, and sandwiches as well as some killer desserts. We lifted each other up in prayer as well as praises to our Heavenly Father. We laughed our selves silly, had a wonderful speaker, and got to have some extra fun leaving and receiving gifts from our Secret Sisters. A few of us stay after the meeting to clean up and have "mom's time out" as we like to call it. We always laugh till we cry, talk about our wonderful families, and share ideas to help us with our kids'.
I got in LATE....this gave me about three solid hours of sleep and then the alarm went off. I got up and got Dani and Hellie off to the bus then went back to sleep for a little over an hour. Then I had cinnamon butter toast and coffee for breakfast. Then we got up, got the laundry gathered and sorted, the regular daily chores done, iced tea made, the floors swept and mopped, the bathroom cleaned, and the laundry done.
We had a lunch of AWESOME Squash Tortellini Cheese Soup and a ham sandwich. Now Katie is finishing up her school work for the day and then she will hit the showers before youth group tonight. Then us adult's are getting take out from up the road from the best mexican food place in town YAY!!!!
