Friday Fill-In: Spring Break!!

It is the first day of Spring Break.  We are hangin' out at home today.  Vegging and watching some Wonder Pets.  Should be a nice, relaxing day.
 
1. The right word is 'relax' today.  It is the first day of Spring Break and the weather is horrible outside.  A good day to hunker down inside and play with the kids.  Perhaps knit.  Do some laundry with the new washer and dryer.

2. Walk out and shut the door quietly, please. We are watching the Wonder Pets and everyone is enamored with it.  Including Maggie.

3. Up in the air in a plane is where I want to be.  Only a month and a half until Disneyland.  I can't wait.

4. Usually playing with my kids at home is where you'll find me.  I am a stay-at-home mom after all.  Where else would I be?

5. Ooh! What is that thing on my nose?  That's what I thought this morning when I woke up.  Turns out it is a scratch I gave myself when tossing and turning fighting off zombies in my sleep.  Didn't matter.  We all turned into one anyway.  What was the point?

6. Going here is a good idea.  (See below - Harry Potter Theme park at Universal in Orlando)  Perhaps next year...

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to perhaps some time with the hubby, tomorrow my plans include working in Promiseland and Sunday, I want to grocery shop, go to small group and then have supper with the family!

Tuesday Tunes 56: You'll Think of Me

Just some Keith Urban today.  Hubby really likes him because he is NOT country.  (At least not old country!  He is NEW country, though!!)

Aidan is sick today.  Emma is cranky and both kids are going to drive me up the wall!!  Anyway, I hope that you enjoy listening.

Friday Fill-in: Swim Test

It is Friday.  I am so happy (and sore from the swim test I had to do last night for Guides).  We have to do a test (swim 50m, tread water for one minute) so that we can do the water activities this summer at camp.  Anyway, as I was doing it I thought to myself, "How often do I actually swim when I go swimming?"  I have 2 kids who need me to help them in the water.  One of them likes to only play with toys.  So how often do I actually 'swim'?  It was an interesting question to ponder and the way my legs and arms are feeling today, I guess I actually haven't swam in a long time.

I passed so I can go and learn how to sail this summer at camp.  I have never been and really want to learn.  I am excited about that!!

I hope that whatever you do, you have a wonderful weekend.
 
1. Today I will be staying in my pajamas, doing crafts and homework for as long as the kids will let me.  Aidan does not have school today and Maggie is going to be late.  I plan on making the most of this!!

2. Tonight I will have a glass of wine and I say why not? It is Friday night of what seemed like a LONG week.  The time change really affected us all.  It will be nice to have a glass and unwind.

3. What do you think of the coverage of the ParaOlympics so far?  I think it is a shame that we cannot show the events when they are happening.  Those poor athletes work really hard to get to the Olympics and how can we watch them when they are on at such weird times??

4. At our house it's free Pastry Day til 1030 Friday! Or at least it would be if I had pastry.  Especially some baguettes with chocolate in the center....Oh how I wish I was eating one of those right now and sipping some coffee in a cafe in Paris...

5. People say that what we're all seeking is Jesus.  And I am one of those people.  Actually I think He will continue to seek you out even though you continue to deny Him.  He longs for you and loves you.  I just want you to know that today, even if you don't believe it.

6. The image I cherish most is the cross and the empty tomb.  That is the most important thing in my life and I could not live without it.

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to wine (as stated above) and cuddling up with the hubby, tomorrow my plans include getting a new washer and dryer and doing some laundry and Sunday, I want to spend time with my parents and sister!
