He's Not Embarrassed By Me Yet!

A few weeks ago, I taught the Bible lesson for Firecracker's Wednesday night class.  I then taught it again the next week.  The next Wednesday Firecracker asked me if I was going to teach his class again.  I told him that it was just coincidence that I taught two weeks in a row, and that while I will teach it again sometime, it wouldn't be that week.  He got all bummed out and told me how much he liked it when I taught his class.  

Talk about high praise!!!  My 8 year old isn't embarrassed by me yet!!  This is something to celebrate, my friends!

Have a great day!

Christmas Hangover

I love Christmas.  It's my favorite time of the year.  I love it for different reasons as an adult than I did as a kid.  Now I get to watch my munchkins open their presents and see them get all excited about their new toys.  It's truly awesome to be the Mom to these two little people.  

That being said, I'm so over them having all this new stuff.  We spent 30 minutes (roughly) reading the Christmas story from Luke 2, talking about what we're thankful for, praying and then opening presents.  The rest of the waking hours yesterday were spent either putting together new toys, opening new toys or going when the kids said, "Hey, Mom, come see ________ ."  By 6 o'clock I was sooooo over it.  When I finally looked up, what felt like 34 billion hours later, it was 8 and mercifully bedtime.

Today will be better.  It has to be better, or I'm going to lose my ever loving mind.

Oh, and happy second best day of the year!! (It's my birthday today!!)

Have a great day!

Happy Jesus' Birthday!!

While all the trappings of Christmas are wonderful, let's not forget that JESUS is the reason for the season!

Have a Merry Christmas!!

So Close to Christmas!

I love Christmas.  However, this year the season has just seemed to zoom past me.  I feel like it's almost over before it even started.  This being said, I'm woefully behind!

I should be done with all my holiday stuff, you know baking cookies, buying presents, wrapping presents, shipping presents etc.  However, I'm not.  I'll be working double time for awhile to catch up.

Have a Merry Christmas!

Generous

Last night our church had what we call "Share Store".  The way it works is for 3 months the kids that come to church earn "shares" (aka points) by learning verses, bringing their Bibles and coming to church.  Share Store is when we set up a little store for the kids to come and spend their shares.

This was Firecracker's first time having Share Store with the older kids.  He was so excited.  When we got in the van to come home I asked him if he got some good stuff.  He said he got some good stuff, but then he said he spent some of his shares on presents for the Hubs, Sweet Pea and myself.  What a sweet boy!  Spending his hard earned shares to buy gifts for the family.  I melted. =)

Have a great day!
