What?????

Fasting this Lent? Try Taco Bell! :)

Activity

I realized that I haven't been doing enough physical fitness with the kids. So I decided today to do some streching, crunches, an attempt at pushups, jumping jacks, running in place and a small cool down. All the kids joined me. PG was a hoot. At the end, they all wanted water. At which point, RG said, "I'm a little tired but that was good" and DG said, "I think I broke something." while holding his shoulder. Sheesh!

Gearing up for Lent

There ought to be a liturgical season to prepare us to prepare. I know as a mother I am making my list. Our sacrafice jar was so successful for Advent, I think we will use it for Lent. DG has already said he thinks he should give up computer games (this was self determined and I am so proud of him). I ordered some station of the cross prints to put up in the school room. Hmmm... what else? I think I will check my resources. Let me know what you all are doing?

A School post...

that is why I started this blog. DG started a journal this week and I just love it. It is so he can work on handwriting in a more concrete way and so he can start to get ideas down on paper. Check out the ideas on http://www.letteroftheweek.com/primary_journal_ideas.html

We started with January 1st so he has only written names at this point, but we are all pretty excited.

RA and reading

Today, RA was reading a story. She read "Matt can play." She looked up at me and said, "Of course he can play, everyone can play." Then she went back to reading. I nearly fell of my chair. She said it as if she had just read the most ludicrous thing ever. Oh my kids are so funny!

Worth the read if you have kids or it you don't.
