Just Another Week

Today it's just a short post involving a few tidbits of my week.

--When you don't think you can possibly home school another day because you feel like you're drowning in chaos, and most certainly a school could do a MUCH better job than your paltry, pitiful attempts that reek of failure...just look up Christian school tuition fees and you'll find that you can probably stomach another week or two. And so you resolve to find a little more time again and a little more patience.

--A 2 year old's tantrum will immediately cease when you point out that his socks have orange on them. Of course, you have to have amazing foresight and ensure that he's wearing his orange socks everyday to utilize this parenting technique.

--Friendship is free--which is a great thing cause some days there is just no way to repay a friend. So you pray that God, the Giver of the best gifts, would heap great blessing and reward upon them.

--After trying all week to get our passports done, Dan comes home from work early, we rush back into the city with the kids and our paperwork, just to find out that they don't process passports after 3:30. It was 3:41.

--Thomas Boston is just as fantastic to read as 2 years ago. I did not over exaggerate in an earlier post. I think he's officially become my favorite Puritan.

--My super cute baby has turned into a nasty mutilation machine. She crawls all over the floor and when she finds an abandoned book on the floor, she mutilates, slimes, rips and ultimately destroys it.

--Lindsay has perfected the art of making paper snowflakes. Of course, this coincides perfectly with Courtney's love for eating tiny pieces of paper that gets left on the floor. I suppose as a bonus to me, I don't have to sweep or clean up after Lindsay;-)
