Daybook

2/13/2011

Outside my window: It was sunny outside today with a high of 53.

I am listening to: Two little ones playing on the computer.

I am reading: One Thousand Gifts: A Dare to Live Fully Right Where You Are, by Ann Voskamp. More books will be on the way as soon as I do my Amazon order.

I am pondering: Why is it true when they say, “When it rains, it pours’s.” Everything that could go wrong this past week did just that!

I am wearing: Blue sweat pants and a long sleeve tee-shirt

In my kitchen: The yummy smell of cup-cakes cooking. We made lots of goodies for Saint Valentine’s Day.

I am creating: items for school- print outs for Saint Notebooks, and history notebook pages.

I am thankful for: Having this moment to blog. I was able to post more photos today as well.

In my garden: Compost

A Round the House: Yeaks……let’s just not go down that road right now. I haven’t seen a clean house in weeks.

Plans for the New Week:

Saint Valentine’s Day Tea
Dance 3 times this week
Baseball sign ups
Place book orders
Re-pot house plants
Costco

Hoping and praying: Little Christopher lost his battle with cancer this week and our prayers are with his family.

Living the Liturgy: Working with Baby Girl on receiving her sacrament of confession and Holy Communion. I will be down loading The Confession and Holy Communion faith folders for Baby Girl to complete. I am looking for other creative ideas to teach the sacraments as well.

On my ipod: The Confession app. This is a great little app to help prepare you for confession with tools to examine your conscience.

Living Education: I am hoping to get going on our geography scrapbooks and get those school binders organized this week. (Fingers are crossed!)

I am thinking: Will I ever get my day book posted on the day I write it?
One of my favorite things: So many things!

Sharing my photos thoughts:

Saint Valentine's Day

Prayer to St Valentine

O glorious advocate and protector,
St Valentine,
look with pity upon our wants,
hear our requests,
attend to our prayers,
relieve by your intercession the miseries
under which we labour,
and obtain for us the divine blessing,
that we may be found worthy to join you
in praising the Almighty for all
eternity: through the merits of
Our Lord Jesus Christ.

Amen.

Our Saint Valentine's Day Tea

Christmas 12/2009

Our good friends Ms. Sue and Miss Jessica came over for a fun afternoon of ginger bread house making. Not only did we all eat gobs of candy, but we had yummy desserts too. We all had a tummy ache by the time the afternoon was over. Love the picture of everyone the couch with a sour gut and coming off the sugar high.

A short very short visit from my niece and nephew from Greatfalls, MT.

A few self photography photos. Leonardo didn't want to be apart of this embarrassing moment.

July 4th

We had a wonderful 4th of July. The children spent the day playing in the little pool in the back yard and enjoying the abundant sunshine. We had dinner with our friends at the neighbor’s house. C was in charge of the camera for the potluck and we only ended up with two pictures. I think he was busy eating and forgot what his job was! After dinner we headed off too the soccer field to enjoy the fireworks with Chief and the misses and grandbabies. This time I was the one who forgot to take the pictures! Our other children spent the weekend at the river boating and BBQing.
