It is so hard to believe that it is Friday again. For some, fridays are wonderful because they have two days off from work and get to relax and do things they really want to do or maybe they catch up on some things around the house. For this momma, when fridays come it means the busiest part of the week is here- Saturday and Sunday. Being a pastor's wife, weekends are the busiest. You have church people to call on and make sure they are going to be at church, you have church to prepare for. In my case, I play the piano and sometimes do a special. So I'm preparing for songs and whatever else may come along the way that needs picked up and done. So besides me trying to prepare for my weekend, this past week I homeschooled the kids, went to a 100 day celebration, spent some much needed time with a friend, caught up on all the laundry again, did some cleaning, talked with church people on the phone throughout the week, had a mtg with my boss and executive director, made a schedule for our family (which will be a post coming up), took care of my client (I have a full time job taking care of a 69yr old lady who has cognitive disability. She lives with us 24/7), got my baby on a schedule (which is another post coming up), we are alot happier since he has his own schedule. I think that pretty much sums it up. It has been a busy busy week.
I was spoiled by the 65 degree weather we had and I wish that spring would hurry and get here. But I don't look for that to happen anytime soon. So here is to a great weekend for everyone. Hope that it is grand and I will see you next week.

This is not a picture of where we live. I would love to see this much snow one time. It has been a long time since we have had a GOOD snow. I just found this picture and thought I would share the beauty of it.

They say a picture is worth a thousand words...

My wonderful friend, Emily, is a homeschool mom of four children and has one on the way. She gave me this wonderful wonderful recipe that is a basic muffin recipe. You can add any type of fruit and you can also add chocolate chips to it. You can do a bread loaf or muffins. I love the bread loaf because it is alot easier and faster than making muffins. This recipe makes 2 loaves. My family enjoys it for breakfast or for even just a snack. I hope that you enjoy it.

This is my life- I'm a homeschool momma of two with a baby. I have a full time job and I'm a pastors wife. I wonder why I don't have time to blog. I want to so badly, I just can't seem to find time to sit down and do it. Well on with other things, we were sick the whole Christmas break. The baby's schedule is all off and we are having a time trying to get him back on one. We are also trying to get back into the swing of school and that isn't going too well. For now that is all and here is my photo for the day.

Outside my window...
cold and windy

I'm thankful for...
my three beautiful children. Cutie pie (my oldest and only girl) is such a big helper. She's so sweet and is always ready to pitch in and help her momma. Mr. Wiggle (my middle boy) is a very hyper, high-energy boy. His ray of sunshine spreads over our whole day. He is learning how to be a helper(learning is the key word). Little popcorn (the baby boy) is a little squirt. He loves to crawl around and holler at everyone. And when he touches something that he isn't suppose to, he quickly changes the subject by pointing to something else in the room.

I'm thinking about...
How we need to do some serious school work catch up, some stock up baking, laundry, cleaning...

From the kitchen...
The dishes are done and there needs to be some serious baking going on.

I'm creating...
Christmas cards

I'm working on...
a better school plan

I'm praying for...
family members

Around the house...
cleaning needs to be done, Christmas decor needs to be finished.

One of my favorite things...
to hear my children laugh as they play

A few plans for the rest of the week...
Christmas baking, school plan written out, laundry done

A picture thought...
Little popcorn eating an apple. Something he loves very much

I made these labels out of scrapbook paper. Tied them on with ribbon. Ta-da you have neatness

A full view of the shelf. The cups have pencils and pens, The brown basket has coloring books, then we have a playdough bucket, crayons, markers and colored pencils, scrap paper, puzzels.

I made the whole corner a reading corner. The yellow, red, blue bins have more books in them.
