Bible Study
It's not a Bible study but I think it's applicable to my marriage. I'm reading "The Proper Care & Feeding of Husbands" by Dr. Laura. Really good so far.

Memory Verse Phil 2:14

Do everything without complaining or arguing.
Definitely a good reminder for myself AND my kids. :D

Husband Encouragement
* don't complain about him working extra hours. I know it's good for us.
* be thankful that he's willing to work another part-time job (sort of) for us.

Train Them Up
* Moose - getting him to NOT yell (which means watching myself, too) & potty training next week!!
* Squirt - working on him with signs (more, eat, drink) and saying something (mama, dada, whatever)

Personal Goals
* figure out something fun to do with Moose while Squirt naps (finger painting, playdoh, coloring)
* read my book instead of blogs!
* run and on my "off" days, do yoga

MUST Do
* figure out when my boys' birthday parties will be
* send out invitations

Zone - keep up with dishes
Menu

M - chicken & pasta side with green beans
T - Hamburger Helper & corn
W - breakfast : french toast with fruit (apple or grapes)
Th - meat loaf with mashed potatoes & corn & cauliflower
F - grilled cheese & soup
S - chicken parmesan (we never had this as planned last week)
Su - homemade pizza


FUN Things!!
* possible MOPS playdate Tuesday (not sure if we'll go; it's right at Squirt's naptime)
* shopping for big kid underwear with Moose
* a friend may be having her baby this week!
* maybe making dinner for our new youth pastor & wife (who happen to be really good friends)

3 Things I'm Thankful For Today:
1. somebody hopefully coming to fix our AC
2. a laid-back two-year-old who doesn't mind how boring his mama is
3. having dinner already made

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
