    Hello!  I hope everyone had a Happy Mother's Day.  Mine had it's ups and downs but considering everything that is going on that is to be expected.  After church we went home to eat, then made a quick stop at Hubby's mom's to give her a card.  We then went to see our oldest son, Prince Caspian,  who is still at the grandparent's and then to my favorite restaurant which we have never seen so busy!!!! The good thing is they were give out $10.00 gift certificates to all the moms, so we will be able to enjoy them again soon and hopefully it will not be so busy!!!  Little One was sweetly telling me that I was the best mother he could ever have and of course that totally made my day!!! He gave me a potted flower which was really beautiful and I hope to show pictures of soon.  Prince Caspian gave me a paper flower project that he made which was really sweet.  Last week, he had given me a silver ring that said "Love" on it, which of course I really treasure.

Happy Mothers Day!!!

Posted at 11:38 PM on May. 9, 2008

Mothers Day


I hope you all have a Happy Mother's Day!!!  Here is a news story (click link) to go along with this wonderful day.  It tells that Michelle Duggar, the ultimate mother of the year is pregnant again with her 18th baby.  She is due on New Years Day.  If you are not familiar with the Duggars, they are a homeschooling family in Arkansas, that have been made famous due to specials on Discovery Health Channel.  If you have never watched one of their specials, you really should.  They are a remarkable family.  I really don't know how Michelle does it, but the children seem happy, healthy and very well taken care of.  That was what impressed me the most, how happy and selfless the children were and it made me realize children don't have to be spoiled to happy, in fact it's quite the opposite.  Have a good weekend!

My Week So Far

Posted at 4:13 PM on May. 6, 2008

    Today I had a really good day of school with Little One.  He just LOVES to learn and it's great teaching him.  We made a Cinco de Mayo lapbook, worked on his "A" page in his ABC book and he spent some free time starting to "write his book".  Yesterday, I spent a lot of time at the Reading A- Z website, download bunches of mini books.  Last night we went to a wonderful Mexican restaurant and watched half of an old Disney movie called "The Million Dollar Duck".   I hope we get to finish it tonight, but we may not have time.  Hubby needs to mow the lawn tonight and I'm sure Little One will probably want to go out and play with his friends if it doesn't rain.  I've got a few books in that I ordered for school, but I had to go so much lighter this year.  Money is just too tight!!! Hopefully, Comstock's Nature Handbook that I ordered will come in tomorrow.  I am really looking forward to getting that.  I got a few more of Dinah Zike's books that I am loving and a few reproducible Bible mini book/ printable books that are going to be awesome for lapbooking with Little One. 
      Our family could really use prayer over the next week and a half.  We are having a few meeting that are really important dealing with our son Prince Caspian's situation.  We especially need prayer that Hubby and I are given the right words to say, that a positive solution will resolve quickly and that there will be a positive outcome to our situation.  I know I'm still being vague and I'm really sorry for that, but I really appreciate that you all are praying for us anyways.  I'm really trying to stay focused on God's will and knowing God's hand is at work. 
     Ok, I guess I'm through rambling for now.  Hope you all have a good week!

Amazing Story

Posted at 12:02 AM on May. 2, 2008

Posted in Things that make you go hmmm...

I saw this short news clip and was really impressed by it.  It's an awesome example of neighborly love.  A young college woman hit her first home run on her college softball team and as she was passing 1st base she blew out her knee.  The umpire said if she was unable to circle the bases the home run would not count.  He also said her team mates were not allowed to touch her.  So two young women from the opposing team carried her around the bases and the opposing team (the carriers) ended up loosing the game.  Wow!!!


Don't forget to check out my last post about some awesome freebies!!!
