"Ballishness"

*Sigh* Ball planning meetings are the bestest! I can't wait until dance practice. :)

A Workin' & A Plannin'

This time of year is becoming busy without a second thought... Preparing for graduation, finishing school work, ball planning, trying to organize my political activity (Does this one seem to always be troublesome for anyone of you?), and again this year ---> planning another MECHE (Mother's Encouraging Christian Home Education) Skit night.

So, we're all writing skits, songs, funny jokes, and spoofing everything that we can think of! It's delightful fun... and even with my busy schedule, I'm so blessed to be a part of it.

Last Saturday, a bunch of us girls got together to be creative. ;)

And of course, to eat Chiclet! ----> See here and here.

A Blanket for Jack

Last week, I went to visit my friend Claire. She is a *wonderful* hostess! And she even let me help make a blanket for her baby. I can't wait to meet Jack in person. :) He's already so precious!


Monkeys on one side and polka dots on the other. So cute!

Movie Night

I love movie nights with my kidos!

Of course, the Blockbuster guy talked me into popcorn, candy, and a pop. Ah, but it was worth it. :)

Happy St. Patrick's Day

A Beautiful Illustration

It was a small sailboat. Yet, it was lovingly crafted. The little boy had labored over his creation. At last, it was finished, and it was good. He took it to the lake to see how it would fare. After placing it in the water, the boy stepped back. The sailboat was wonderful. Just then, a breeze took the boat out of the boy's reach - and soon it was out of sight. The boy was devastated; his creation was gone. A few days later while walking down the street, the little boy saw his sailboat in a pawnshop window. He immediately went in and purchased his boat. As he walked home with the sailboat in his arms, he spoke to it. "You are mine because I made you, and you are mine again because I redeemed you."

Late Monday

Today seemed to be one of those days. Maybe you know the ones?
You're perpetually late?
Sound familiar?
Anyone?

Well, despite that strange, late phenomenon, today was a blessed day. I asked a good question in Italian class, had lunch with Dee -- which turned into a several hour visit. Praise God for a friend with whom to pray and share burdens -- went to Open Lab, had dinner with family, and studied the Word. Yes, a blessed day indeed.

Rainy Days and Mondays

You're right. Today is neither Monday -- nor rainy, but I *love* that song. :o) Actually, today was quite warm. You KNOW that it has been a cold winter when it's 44 degrees outside... and it feels like 64 degrees! I was blissful with a light jacket. And in a nutshell, that's the news of the day.
