Monday Meanderings

-
Bible Study - I'm reading Plan B by Pete Wilson for Book Sneeze. It's a really great book so far (review coming soon).

Memory Verse - I don't know if I have a memory verse for the week. I'm not good at memory verses, to be honest. I am just getting back into reading my Bible so I'll just go for that this week.

Husband Encouragement
* not beg him to change every dirty diaper when he's home
* go on at least one family walk or jog together
* let him have a shower by himself at least once this week

Train Them Up
* Start thinking about preschool stuff for Moose. I don't know how far I'm going to get in this homeschooling business, but I have at least next year to work with Tristan.
* Keep trying to get Squirt to say "mama." haha
* Find more signs for Moose to learn; keep using the signs I know for him and Squirt to learn.
* Print off Blue's Clues thing from nickjr.com so I can play it with Moose

Personal Goals
* Complete training this week
* Cross train with DVDs on no-run days
* Read the Bible every day

MUST Do
* Find graduation gift for my little sister.
* Start to actually plan for summer bday party for great-grandkids on my side of the family

Zone - Don't leave pjs & workout clothes just laying around.

Menu Plan

M- chicken mac n cheese casserole, cooked carrots
T - sloppy joes & corn
W - tangy ranch chicken & baked potatoes & green beans (having company over)
Th - meatloaf & mashed potatoes (real kind) & peas
F - soup, salad, and breadsticks
S - chicken parmesan with noodles & broccoli & cauliflower
Su - chicken foil wraps (with tomatoes & broccoli)
FUN THINGS!

* Breast cancer walk/run on Saturday here in town

3 Things I'm Thankful for Today:
1. I love my new clothes (will have to take pictures to show them to you) that I shopped for last week with my friend LJ. Big thanks to her for going with me!
2. Hanging out with Big A at work this morning (although he beat me in checkers 1 1/2 times).
3. Getting to see many friends this weekend.  Our besties stayed the night Friday (and kept us up until 3am! LOL), some good friends of ours got married Saturday afternoon, Saturday night we went out to eat with 2 of our friend couples & kids, and Sunday was church with friends. :)

oh and by the way I don't always actually memorize a verse but I do keep it as a sort of focus verse to think on throughout the week.

Hi, you know when you do this Bible-reading, do you mind if I ask whether you just dip into the book randomly? Or carry on from where you left off the previous day? Or undertake a type of themed Bible-study where you look up loads of scriptures? Or is it a mix of the above? Or something I haven't mentioned?... Just wondering

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)

-

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
