Monday Meanderings

-
Join my friend Sarah at In the Light of the Truth in her Monday Meanderings (go wish her a happy birthday tomorrow, too)

Bible Study
Still working on The Chronicles of Narnia with the boys.

Memory Verse
Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize. 1 Corinthians 9:24

Husband Encouragement
I'm not sure. I think I just need to work on a positive attitude. I was a grump this weekend.

Train Them Up
* Encourage Isaac in sitting up on his own and crawling. Ok the encouragement on crawling comes off sometimes as teasing (here come get this piece of food you can't have anyway...or this toy I know you want but you can't play with because it's hazardous)...but he crawls now.
* Be patient with Tristan as he's getting better with asking questions and answering them.
* Try to tell or show Tristan the difference between "wet" and "poop"
* Start on this cute butterfly chandelier. Tristan loves butterflies.

Personal Goals
* work out 7-8 hours this week. I only got in 4 (I know ONLY) last week but it didn't feel like I'd done much.
* Schedule a dentist appointment (boo).
* Pray. About everything.

Must Do
* Dentist appointment
* Thursday helping to stuff (??) eggs for our town's spring festival.
* Call my friend M to see how her son is doing (he has RSV, poor guy).

Zone
* bathroom. My toilet needs cleaned. But maybe I can eek out of it because it's my birthday week.

Menu -

Monday - beef stroganoff with noodles (crock pot), peas, salad
Tuesday - pot roast with veggies for my birthday. I think Big A is making me a cake, too
Wednesday - tangy ranch chicken, green beans, salad
Thursday - cheesy beef enchiladas, corn, rice
Friday - casserole with beef, corn, rice, peas, and cream of mushroom soup
Saturday - French Onion Burgers, salad, baked potatoes, green beans
Sunday - homemade vegetable soup, salad, breadsticks (watch out Olive Garden)

FUN THINGS!
* My birthday is tomorrow - the big 24
* hopefully getting a new camera sometime for said birthday
* aerobics Monday and Wednesday night
* the boys seeing the Easter Bunny on Thursday (never have done that before)

Things I'm thankful for today:
1. Getting older (who is thankful for that?)
2. Squirt crawling
3. Moose answering a question
4. The weather
5. The ability to run

MOB Society: Bragging on Boys

-
Image
Like my friend Erin shared in her "bragging" post, I don't necessarily want to "brag" about my boys but I am overjoyed at some of their accomplishments recently! So I will share with you! Moose is doing wonderfully at school. We moved him to the afternoon classroom and his teacher said that his behavior problems that they saw in the morning have virtually disappeared. Great! Twice last week (once at school and once at Sunday School) his teachers told me that he shared with someone. What a sigh of relief that one is; sharing is so hard but to know that what I'm implementing at home is working (even the itsy bitsiest bit!) is a relief.  I've noticed that baby toys are most enjoyed by the older crowd. Moose is also reading! I got the sight word list that kindergarteners start off with from his teacher - he read them all for me this morning. I bought a Chuggington book for him on their last book order - he read it by himself after only having it read

Greater (movie review)

-
Image
Sports movies are some of my favorite ones; even better if they are underdog stories! "Greater" is just that - a true underdog story about Brandon Bulsworth who could be called the greatest walk-on in the history of college football. The movie follows Bulsworth from the time he's a kid. His mother is raising he and his brother (who is quite a bit older; old enough to be mistaken for his dad, laughably). His brother gives him a kick in the pants when Brandon claims he wants to play for the Arkansas Razorbacks. Brandon was a heavy kid so no one really thought it would happen. However, Brandon worked as hard as he could and made it. Walked on the team and caught the attention of his coach who put some amazing work into this kid to help him become better. I love when coaches look at the heart of a player more than ability. This really is an amazing story, an amazing movie - full of inspiration and encouragement. Things that seem impossible become possible. The rea

We Choose Virtues (review & giveaway!)

-
Image
I almost think I needed this Kids Kit from We Choose Virtues almost as much as my sons. I mean, check out this list: patience, kindness, obedience, diligence, forgiving, attentive, etc. I have such problems with patience and attentive (anyone else get distracted by stuff online?)! So I know that it's important to teach these virtues to my children, too (and learn alongside them). Jesus was patient, forgiving, obedient, diligent, forgiving, attentive, self-controlled, content, etc. We are supposed to imitate Jesus and so I thought this was a good way to help me teach them how to do that. image from the WCV website Like I said, I reviewed the Kids Kit. It came with a Kids Virtue Poster (that tells all of the virtues & sayings that go along with them), one Fan Poster (your choice; a large poster that shows one virtue and saying), Virtues Clues & a clear acrylic card holder (business card sized cards with one virtue per card), "I'm a Virtue Kid" button, The
