Adventures Through The Alphabet pt 3

Spent the weekend with my Dad because it's his birthday today and they are not going to be able to make it up for my girl's birthday next weekend. We did still work on the letter "S" while he was here. But I'm getting ahead of myself because we did "P" before that. He is our picture round up of our letter weekend.

 

 

We start with a pout professionally performed by the peanut. Followed by all of the puppies, penquins, and ponies, that the girls could find, place on a polka dotted pillow case. Then we searched for everything pink and they donned pink head gear (a wig, a Easter bonnet and a Pirate cap). Then the peanut created a pile of pillows and stood behind it to measure how tall her pile was. Then the peanuts petite pink pillow pets and a pink bunny bag she found. Lastly the awesome present I got in the mail from Mamahhh. I love it! The saying fits the monkey circus and I perfectly.

Let's do our short ad for the letter "S". We went swimming and were served steak for dinner while one girl slept on the restaurant's floor (good thing we chose a family restaurant and it wasn't all that busy at the moment). There were plenty of smiles shared and we played Sorry and Sorry Spin. Much fun was had celebrating a seventh birthday and my dad's (we'll keep his age secret). We also did some awesome salt painting.

Thanks for continuing our adventure through the alphabet. Not sure what letter comes next. I should tried to be more prepared than I am but the girls also like creating the ideas during the day.

Adventures Through The Alphabet pt 2

Welcome back to our fantastic trip through the alphabet with 

 

 

My tiny decided that they needed to be colored and has been sharing certain ones with certain family members. And that's about as far as our A day went. We did eat some apples and it is August and we talked about Amber and Abby and our aunties. And I even got some adult time that night with a really great friend who is totally awesome and amazing.

We took a day off and P is next. Hmm...pondering the possibilities.

Made to Crave - MOMS Study

Coming to the last week of the study and learned so much through this. Survived today without eating anything I wasn't supposed to. I am realizing that I have been praying the serenity prayer in times of stress with the kids. Who knew it was so universal a use? I have used it every day this week so far.

This weekend after the study is finished I plan on going back through my notes and giving you all a summary of my take on the study. I've enjoyed it alot. And am sure going to miss these women over the summer, hope there are park get-togethers planned sometime.

Made to Crave - MOMS Study

Notes from morning of 03.27.11

Doing my study this morning I became fearful in the thought of relying entirely in every way on God. What will happen to me when I live my life entirely for God. There is a fine line between living you life to glorify God and living your life entirely for God. It's scary to think of the typer of person I would become if I did that. Would I still be me?

Made to Crave - MOMS Study

Just started a new study with my MOMS group yesterday. Good stuff. I noticed that the attendance was down and I hope it wasn't due to the book. Because this book isn't just about your craving for food. You can turn the craving into anything that you obsess about in your mind and place that in there for food.

I don't have a huge problem with food but as many of us do, I eat more than my body needs to survive and I don't always eat what my body needs. This week's topic is Empowered. Empower yourself to stand up against those cravings and realize what they truly are.

We crave because we are missing something in our lives. What we're missing is what we need to focus on rather than the craving. What we crave matters, maybe we can find a way to connect what we crave to the thing that we are missing thereby causing us to crave. We need to pray to be enlightened as to what it is that we are missing that is causing us to crave and help to strengthen us against the urge.

Can't wait to see what the rest of the week brings me.
