Funday Sunday; March 9

Linking up with Molly at Lucky to be in First and Deirdre at A Burst of First for Sunday Funday, where we fight the Sunday Blues by sharing some of the fun we had over the weekend!

Today is my dear friend's birthday and I had my ladies sing to him in a video!! It made him smile and made my day!  Happy Birthday friend! Hope it was terrific.

My weekend went by in the blink of an eye and was spent on the basketball court. We had our final regular season game and it was super exciting!!

Here are my cuties!! Check out there numbers that they happened to get!  In age order the youngest and the oldest make the middle number:)

I also had the priviledge of listening to my middle girlie play in her percussion group at church this morning.  How I love seeing my girls involved in church.

And that was my Funday Sunday!  Wishing you all a Sunday that was just as fun!

                                                       

Wait...yep... it's March!

Don't forget to turn your clocks back tomorrow night!  Yep, tis the season where we "save" time, or more like throw that precious hour away!!  Oh well, it's Currently March and I'm linking up with Farley over at Oh' Boy Fourth Grade to share what's going on in my world!  If you haven't hopped on over to Farley's to check out her new design, you should!  Too Cute!  Y'all are making me jealous!

Listening:  

Yes, it's that song that everyone loves right now from the ever popular Frozen and my ladies just adore singing to the youtube video sing-a-long version!!

It continues to make me smile and chuckle watching them and their little faces and body language as they reinact this song even for the like 1000th time!!

Loving:  

We adopted a new fur baby about a month ago now in an attempt to help our older pup, Buckeye adjust to the move.  He's 11 and his new sister, Bonnie is about 1.5.  I am loving watching the 2 of them bond with one another and seeing his youthful side again! It's been the best thing we could have done for him!

Thinking:

Well we finally got our tax return filed and now I am dreaming at the possibilities!  I'm thinking bathroom upgrades but who knows!! I get so excited at the mere mention of home projects.  Home is definitely where the heart is, but it's best if you have a happy heart!  My heart loves to redecorate, remodel, or even just rearrange!!

Wanting:

Spring can not come soon enough!  I am growing weary of having cold toes, and fingers.  I'm tired of coats, gloves, scarves, and closed toed shoes!  Bring on the flip flops and sunshine!  This roller coaster of 70 degrees followed by freezing ice can stop anytime as well!

Needing:

As always, there is too much to do in any one day!  I thought that this problem would go away when I dropped to working part-time, but somehow it has not! I thought that I would have dinner planned and my house would be clean....but somehow this is not the case I find myself in...How does this happen??  So, I find myself staying up late to get a few more things checked off of my "to-do" list and not getting my much needed "beauty" rest.  That SHOULD be my Lenten challenge!  Getting enough sleep would definitely mean sacrificing something.  Hmmm....

???

So I had a hard time coming up with something creative for this one.  7 is not my lucky number! I have come to believe that I have somewhat of a curse upon me when it comes to attracting terrible, uninsured drivers to me on the road.  I think that I am testing probability at this point.  I have been in 7 car wrecks, 2 of which were major resulting in hospital visits!  What are the odds?! (disclaimer...I have not been at fault for any of these, so no, it is NOT my driving).  I guess I'm just a sort of magnet.  Guess that's why carpooling has been such a challenge for me (heehee).


Well that's the News, Views & Stews of March for me!  Thanks for reading :)

                                                       

Sunday Funday...a little late but who's counting?

Linking up with Molly at Lucky to be in First and Deirdre at A Burst of First for my first Sunday Funday post on well...Monday! 

So this is just a fun posting to tell about something FUN to drive away the dreaded Sunday afternoon reality check.  You know, when the weight of the week and all you must do comes falling down upon your shoulders again!

This weekend I did it again!  I rearranged furniture in my girl's rooms.  I have mentioned this in a post before that I have a rearranging addiction!  I love to change things up every once in a while.  This time I had a good reason.  We are expecting a housefull for Easter and I wanted to be sure that we would be able to house everyone.  So....what better way than to rearrange!  My family has gotten so accustomed to things always being tweaked that they don't even blink an eye when a room is completely different!  So, that was my weekend, among basketball games, spring cleaning (it was absolutely gorgeous this weekend!!) and yes...putting off the lesson plans until the last possible moment.  What fun did you manage to squeeze in?

                                                       

The Era We Live In or the Error of our Ways?

I believe we need to be intentional about teaching our future the importance of balance and the lifelong implications of our use of technologies, especially social media.

"Mom, when do I get my phone?", "Can we watch another show?", "Can I play a game on the computer?",  "But I have research to do, I need your computer!"....the examples are endless when thinking about how "plugged in" our lives have become.  Did you know that according to the American Academy of Pediatrics, children should be limited to NO more than

Oh the Prospects of Preschool and Prayer...

Lesson 2: Pray hard and hope for the best! So, as I mentioned in my last post, big changes have been a mainstay in my life for the past year. Changes in leadership, grades, hubby relocation, moving cities, and finally....a change in settings for my career as well! I have been blessed with the opportunity to spend some time teaching in preschool again! I truly never thought that I would have this opportunity again...and yet hear I am! God is SO good! For the past few years I have truly struggled
