For Today… February 8, 2010

Outside my window… rain. Again.  But I’m not complaining….just observing ;)

I am thinking… I don’t like being sick!

From the learning rooms… Lots of valentine fun.

I’m thankful for… so much.  I could go on all night.

From the kitchen… I cooked a giant squash today…it tastes a lot like pumpkin, so I’m thinking we need to make some muffins or something.

I am wearing…

I am reading… Betsy, Tacy & Tib.   (with my girls of course.)  It just keeps getting better!

I am creating… plans for an “Angelina” birthday party…requested by the almost eight year old in our house.

I am hearing… dripping rain against the ringing of my ears.

Around the house… I chose to skip mopping today, because though it was on the schedule, it was NOT necessary.  One small victory in letting go at a time :)

A few plans for the rest of the week… this is really not a good week for me to start out feeling like I’ve been beat up.  Assuming that the aches disappear by morning, Bible study tomorrow, time with a friend on Wednesday, small group on Thursday, Valentine party for the kids on Friday, and the wedding of an old friend on Saturday.  Obviously, illness was not on the schedule!

Here’s a picture thought I’m sharing with you…

My little V-Day present for the girls.  They’re pins…to wear on their shirts.  I’m sure you can guess whose is whose.

Or leave me a note in the comments… I’d love to hear about your day :)

Keeping up with the Joneses, I mean Jesus

Heart Time

February 5th, 2010 by Ashley

We are all about the fun of holiday celebrating around our house.

So of course the talk lately has been all about Valentine’s Day.

Our first piece of Valentine decor is a wall hanging, made mostly by Miss A and myself.

inspired by this tutorial

This was a lot of fun to make, but somewhat time consuming.  We also had much more success with getting the tissue to stick by using tacky glue instead of plain old elmer’s.

Our only other Valentine fun so far is the surprise I made for the girls.

These were fun and easy to make.  I really am falling in love with felt.  It’s so simple to work with.

I’m hoping to get in lots more valentine fun this next week.

Have you been doing anything exciting with hearts???

Thankful Thursday

February 4th, 2010 by Ashley

Gratitude can often feel like a very serious undertaking.

But sometimes things should just be fun.

So, with that in mind,  I’ll tell you what I love.  But only if you promise not to judge me.

This isn’t the first time I’m sharing a less than awe-inspiring glimpse of me, and I’m sure it won’t be the last.  But I just have to tell you.

I am in love with this song.

I know it’s ridiculous.  And I know that at the rate of radio play it’s getting, I won’t be able to stand it a month from now.

But today, I love it.  It makes me happy.  And makes me think of my husband.  And that makes me happy.

So go listen and enjoy.  If you hate it, you don’t have to tell me. ;)
