2013 in Photos

I’ve decided to do a photo collection of 2013. Life has been on a strictly survival mode this past year and blogging simply wasn’t on my survival list of “things to do”. I did manage to take a few photos (thanks to owning an iphone) this past year and I hope you all enjoy seeing a small glimpse of Our 2013.

October Daybook

10/28/12 
Outside my window...I see a ton of yard work and cleaning that needs to be done asap. The forecast said no rain today, so now would be a good time to get this work down.

 I am thinking... As November approaches I tend to think more about our little Saint in heaven. I miss him daily, but even more so approaching upon what would have been his birth month.

 I am thankful for...Having today off from watching extra kiddo’s. I have so much house work to get caught up on and I can’t seem to do that with four children under five running around

 Learning all the time…Focusing on test with Captain for the end of his school year. (Still)

Learning the Liturgical Year at Home…I am hoping to have time this week or next- to print up Saint coloring pages for Firecracker’s Alphabet book.

 From the kitchen… I have a few little ones asking to do some baking this week.

 I am wearing... Yoga pants and a long sleeve t-shirt in eggplant. 

I am creating...I am STILL working on costumes for dance and Halloween.

 I am going... to try really hard to get caught up on laundry and house work this week.

 I am reading... not too much at the moment as I just don’t have extra time right now

 I am hoping… to get a good night’s sleep tonight, I so need this after a very long week.

 Pondering these words…”Lord, make me an instrument of your peace; where there is hatred, let me sow love; where there is injury, pardon; where there is doubt, faith; where there is despair, hope; where there is darkness, light; and where there is sadness, joy.” St. Francis of Assisi 

 I am hearing…The sounds of a dishwasher, washer and dryer running. Yep, it’s a full day of house work around here today.

 Around the house...There is so much to do around here; I wouldn’t even know where to begin.
In the garden…I finally got that garlic planted and now I have to patiently wait for spring to see if it will actually grow.

One of my favorite things... Firecracker had his first sleep over at our house and oh how happy he was to have his best friend her to wake up too. I of course did take too many pictures, but here are the ones I did take.

 I’m praying forJulia and her family as they travel down a difficult road. Lord, hear our prayers!

 A few plans for the rest of the week:

 Monday-Dr appointment, Care Net Dinner, Edge night (Catholic Middle School)
 Tuesday-Dance for two kiddos every Tuesday 
Wednesday- trick and treating down town
 Thursday-Dance
 Friday- Robotics team
Saturday- Robotics Lego Team at CWU
 Sunday- Mass, and Teen Life (Catholic High School)
 
 Sharing a photos moment
