Monday Meanderings

-
Bible Study - finish "Plan B" by Pete Wilson & I am going to look up something to better help me understand the second to last chapter in 1 Corinthians. I've read it twice and I can't seem to grasp it all.

Memory Verse - (Sarah you always pick good verses) Ephesians 5:15-17
"Be very careful, then, how you live—not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord's will is."

Husband Encouragement - Big A is picking up some extra work with a local farmer so making sure the house is clean and meals are prepared. Also not being grumpy when he gets home, but letting him have some "breaths" when he walks in the door before I throw the baby and/or toddler at him.

Train Them Up - Moose: I need to start looking at an on-line curriculum for preschool for next year since we are not sending him to school. I don't really want to purchase anything since it's just the first year and I don't know what I'm doing at all.
Squirt: started to clap at graduation this past weekend (how sweet), so I'd like to keep encouraging him to wave and do "so big" and walk. He's getting close. I know I also need to read to him more and be patient when he's stubborn at naps.

Personal Goals - Stick with my training goals - run x4 and yoga x2 (or another DVD). It's going to be really hard with Big A working extra hours, but I need to try.

Must Do - Grocery shop & library drop-off on Tuesday. In-town library trip with Moose tonight. Find a cheap pair of jeans to fit me (I have one pair too big and one pair too small).

Zone - Nothing really, just keep it all tidy and neat.

Menu Plan -
Monday - spaghetti
Tuesday - chicken parmesan
Wednesday - tacos or quesadillas
Thursday - vegetable soup & grilled cheese
Friday - chicken nuggets & baked potatoes
Saturday - something in the crock pot
Sunday - TBD

Fun Stuff - MOPs on Tuesday. Usborne book party on Saturday (if anyone shows up). Church on Sunday.

3 Things I'm Thankful For -
1. My marriage. My husband treats me the way that every woman deserves to be treated.
2. My children. They may not be perfect but they listen (mostly) and are incredibly sweet.
3. Warm weather - wait a second...it's cold! But I'm thankful for heat to keep us warm.

Did you just delete a post about rainy days?... It's not rainy here, but hardly warm either. I know London's supposed to be damp and cold but it's not actually that bad most of the time. I think it was worse a couple of hundred years ago when this town got that reputation. Apparently 400 years ago the Thames actually used to freeze over every winter and people would SKATE across it... something that's unheard of now!

Anyway I was going to say re the neighbours etc that it could be worse, you could actually be living in Stepford, know what I mean!!

PS have a go on my Saturday quiz if you've a moment... I don't think anyone's got it all right yet

I think I'm gonna have to make spaghetti tonight too! You know, I'd be well off to write a list of goals down for the week too!

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

Big A is forever telling me to not say certain things on the road. Don't call me dear. Don't gasp or shout; I'll think there's a deer. Although these are paraphrased (and he claims he's never said the first one), these are the basis for this tale. We went to the Husker game last night. Scratch that - we worked at the Husker game last night. We helped his aunt (and her church) sell backrests as a fundraiser. Big A has done this most of last year & all of this year so far. He loves it. You sell backrests until kickoff, then you watch the game, and pick up the rests after. You're there 90 minutes before game time and for about an hour or so after the game. And you sometimes get leftover food (Runzas and hotdogs and popcorn - please fine out what a Runza is for those of you who aren't from Nebraska....it's so yummy!). Anyway...we went to the game & a few of our friends helped pick up the chairs voluntarily after so (with that help plus our amazing sp
